Can anyone please suggest a good tech/career school? I have been looking
into ITT tech and Devry. Thats about it. Any other suggestions? I want to
study network administration or something else within the computer school..
I'm sick of college and its lousy professors.

i had one friend who went to csu chico to get a computer science degree and
now he is getting an mba.

what year are you or how many units have you completed?

[Ryan]

I have 70 units .... almost all my GE is done, except thematic themes and US
History and Political Science. I'm majoring in computer engineering. My
calculus teacher is one of the worst I have ever seen in my life. He is
horrible, I don't even want to go to class any more. There is no point. I
can get way better help from tutors and reading books. The dept head in
Compt eng teaches two of my classes, horrible instructor also. Luckily, he
teaches easy classes.

Anyways, its ridiculous. I really don't know what I want to do right now. I
know i will finish out my semester here. If half of the instructors I have
had in my first semester here turn out to be duds, I think its safe to say
what the future holds. I'm sick of being insitutionalized.

That the teachers are bad here and that is not going to change. The student
here has no voice as to whether he or she is being taught well. All of the
blame is put on the students in the form of you should have studied more or
you should have got a tutor or you should have seen me during me office
hour. The truth is, that none of this would be necessary, or atleast to its
current extreme, if these poor teachers really cared about the students and
evaluated themselves. Unfortunately, there is no checks and balances in the
college environment. Teacher get free rein with a horrible concept called
tenure. There are no evaluations done on them nothing to say yeah, you are
doing your job right. Yeah you are TEACHING not just talking to yourself.
Yeah, you make yourself avaialabe to the students and help them outside of
class. Yeah, you care if a student really understands what you are
explaining to them.

I do appreciate all your point of vies, as I am going through somewhat of a
crisis as I start my first semester at CSU Chico. Based on my previous
college experiences at junior college, I expected it to be much the same
here and did not expect to run into the problems I have here (bad teacing,
comments from senior students saying teachers within my major are also bad
teachers, obsolete was the word used, and also foreign teachers hard to
understand).

Anyways, David I ask you what really is more important than the teaching
involved at a college? If you take that away, you could make a buisness, run
an ad in the newspaper, and have people meet up there and buy books on
subjects they are interested in and study the books together. Teachers
design the class, decide on what material is important to know, test
students on that material, and determine your grade.

The other chacteristics of college that are importnat? The people you meet,
your study budies? Well, thats a hard one for me because I have only been
here 2 months, but I dislike many of the immature, ignorant and selfish
people that are here. True, I have met several good people, but not many at
all. My lab parteners - well one i thought would be a good friend; he turned
out to be very argumentive. He shows up late, and when you try to get any
work done with him he i of no use. the other guy is alright but i never see
him and he seems to be pretty flakey.

so whats left in college? hanging out with people, partying, running up the
bars. I've watched Van Wilder movie, I loved it; but its just a movie. Its
great and funny, but come on. Van Wilder majored in leisure studies (does
that even exsit?) and his daddy was paying his way through 8 years of
college. I'm majoring in computer engineering and I don't have any rich
family to pay for anything. So does that mean I'm not going to recieve the
full "college experience"?
