| - I would agree with what everyone else has said but to add more, I would say that this school is low on the list of community colleges you should think of attending. Heck, even South Mountain is better than this! The whole system is set up for failure before you can even start your classes. Like another reviewer said, it is very Mac unfriendly, heck it's any computer unfriendly. The teaching tools that they have are horrible (I took Geology this semester and the online lab looked like crap, I couldn't tell diorite from granite, lol, and yes you will get marked down for wrong answers because you couldn't make out what it was! grrr!), the videos are lame and very small so that you cannot tell what is really happening onscreen.
It's like these teachers just cut and paste their lesson plan, and the only actual work they put in is to grade papers. There are some great teachers I have come across but this is very few and rare. If anything confuses you, you had better hope you figure it out on your own because you can only contact the teacher through email and not by phone (I don't know about you, but I like to talk to a teacher in person or by phone when I have a problem, much more concise). I caught so many errors in one class that they put me in charge of going over lessons and proofreading them! I would get things wrong on tests that were not wrong and only after making a stink about it, would I get my grade changed. Nearly everyone who works there for customer service has an attitude or is extremely depressed. When you call in they usually rush you off of the phone as quickly as possible. I told them look, I'm quitting because you can't get it together and they said, "Well we can see you are an extremely good student and we would hate to see you leave." So, like a dummy I stayed the semester. Overall, I'm going back to Gateway. When things don't work out, it's best to start from whence you came.
