I’ve had a few courses online before COVID-19 and they were both great. Both of my professors were very efficient in their teaching methods and were always available when help was needed. Ever since COVID-19 happened, I could tell that a lot of professors weren’t used to this online teaching method. It took them a while and us as students some time and learning as well. Thankfully, we’re all accommodating to it very well!
Before attending Porterville College, I was a little apprehensive about going to a community college; I wanted to experience living away from home and walking around a huge campus. When I arrived in my class, however, I was pleasantly surprised! The professors actually took the time to learn everyone's names and get to know each student individually. They formed relationships with their students and were very accommodating and understanding. Now, I never want to leave.
I really like how diverse the college is and how much they have to offer to their students. Whether it’s free computer access, to a free Microsoft office account and even access to the library to all students. The professors are great, for the most part. And, it’s a really safe environment!
