Taking online classes at this school was a great experience! The professors explain everything that needs to be done, and have everything available to download. Lectures and videos are all uploaded as needed, and at students request. Grades, modules, syllabi, and announcements are all organized and are easy access. Just do your part and stay on top of your classes and online courses will be a success!
Me personally don't enjoy the online classes! I originally started in Auto Technology. But due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, I had to put those dreams on hold. I consider this to be hands on training. For now I am just brushing up my basic education since I haven't went to school in almost 20 years. I am excited to be working on a career and achieving my goals and dreams. It was a little bit of a struggle for me and my family long before the pandemic arrived.
Merced College is excellent. They have affordable education to help get started on your 4 year degree. The professors are great. I haven't had an issue with any of them. They have all been helpful, informative, and sometimes even supportive.
My only issue is the size of the Los Banos campus. It doesn't even have a food court, only 2 vending machines and a microwave. There's only about 30 classrooms total in 2 buildings and only certain classes are offered at this campus. Most degree specific classes or one's that need bigger, functioning labs like Physics courses or Computer Science are only offered at the Merced campus, which is disappointing. However, I enjoyed those classes, just not the commute from Los Banos.
