What separated Lake Wa Tech from the other schools i was looking at attending this year was the 100% devotion to the students. This is my first quarter here which just started and i barley made enrollment deadlines. I had a few issues with online registration and i had emailed a few different faculty members, some whom aren't responsible for admissions or enrollment, for help over this last weekend. By Monday morning, i had a response from every single one of them! One person in particular who isn't even enrollment got me squared away on a Sunday! And all my other email responses had said "2ell it looks like you're already enrolled" lol
I took a few online classes before COVID and now most classes (except ones with labs, I believe) are online, offered asynchronously (without meeting), synchronously (with Zoom meetings), or both. The school had already been using Canvas (an online platform) for classes and a lot of professors had already had experience teaching online so the transition was quite smooth to the online environment. During the pandemic, I have been enjoying my asynchronous classes, as I am able to manage my time how I wish. With my synchronous classes, I thought they were fine for the three quarters but I have personally been quite bored with them last quarter and this one.
I like the extreme hands-on atmosphere, my course had me working side-by side with the technology we studied. I was taking machines apart, putting them back together and learning every piece of equipment and the functions along the way. I believe this approach was instrumental in me becoming as proficient with computers as I am today. The faculty is very helpful and their overall goal is to help you succeed, this mindset enabled me to get my best GPA yet!
