As I have said, professors were great for the most part. A couple of the small 2 credit courses were treated like 2nd jobs and then they would nail you with a 10 page paper. When I had my beginning programming class, it should have been a finalization program to give you a taste of the terminology and creating motion. The professor was a complete perfectionist and would look to mark points off, without giving advice on what to do right. He was honestly out to fail people. What's really bad is that he was the only person who taught the class so people would get failed again! That was the beginning of the end for me.
I would like to see more changes to the military student's financial aid department. military student finance care is not assisted properly unless the student calls in several times to take care of finances themselves.I didn't get a refund back in time to pay my rent despite i explained the situation to them and even got the landlord on the phone with them several times and got evicted. I never got accurate information, i akways had to speak to a supervisor.
Great flexibility and lots of opportunities to get assistance with assignments and tutoring. The lectures were interesting and the professor's seem to actually care about your succuss! I was quite impressed with my whole experience.
