Comment on My ITT Earth City Experience by Chris Maples

As a current Software Engineering student at this same campus, I’ve run into exactly the same attitudes in my classes and with my instructors. One notable difference was my C instructor, who worked very hard (maybe almost too hard) at teaching advanced concepts to roughly the same 5-6 of us for 3 quarters straight. The irony? About half the students in the first quarter class gave him a bad rating because the language was harder than they had expected, and as it was only his second quarter teaching there, he was a little awkward and so had already gained a bad reputation with both students and instructors alike by then.

A portion of the reason I joined ITT-Tech’s student base was because of the hands-on reputation, but the main reason was because I wanted an industry professional to teach me C fast! As a digital audio and multimedia freak, I wanted that knowledge, and it was my goal to be my best in it. I got so lucky, because that’s exactly what happened, but even as it was happening, I was watching a culture of complacent discontent threaten it in an environment that needed more of that knowledgeable and applicable spirit. My personal opinion was that the 3 quarters I had this instructor, it really did benefit my understanding of the topic, in a very large way, but maybe that’s just because I wanted it to.

Of course, there’s the usual like that stated above, but my Database I class was strange! The peak in all the drama, though, was, let’s just say, the instructor making her personal issues with me public and blaming me for something that was very far from the truth. Someone sitting behind me solidly corrected her on it, and that was that. She left the next quarter. I almost felt like she was taking my aceing the class out on me. Boy, I learned more in a few weeks at my new webmaster job than with what the instructor taught!

Not to mention that sometimes the administration does bizarre things, like having you registered as an Associate’s and a Bachelor’s student at the same time, thereby screwing up class schedules, and then fixing the schedules without telling you, even though you are three weeks into a quarter. I found this out just this week.

All in all, though, it’s just like the real world. CYOA! What a trip, though, it has all been, and will be for the remaining 2 years.

Jit! How the heck are you? It’s me! Michael Griffin from Socket. I figured you had enough of a web presence to track you done. Any ways, just seeing how you are getting along. Send me an email sometime.

It shocked the hell of out me too when our dean walked in with more books, me personally I actually wanted to hear what you had to say on here if you hadn’t gotten your books, lol. Oh and the pages literally ripped out of the book thing was hilarious. This school never fails. Keep blogging Jit.

That’s hilarious - I would think you were kidding were it not for the fact that I was sitting next to the person who had the pages to be copied ripped out of his book. Good stuff.

Like you, I decided to start the quarter optimistically. It was no surprise to me when I read that you didn’t receive your books at first. In fact, I stood in line for 15 minutes in front of the bookstore before I found out that one of my books (the book for the class I was missing to pick up my books) was out of stock. That makes… let’s see… 8 quarters in a row where I did not have all my books by the end of Week 1.

When I mentioned this to the head of our department, his solution was to grab the book from my classmate’s hands and rip out the first three chapters. He turned to my classmate and said, “I’ll get you a new book,” then turned to me and stated, “Hang on. I’ll make copies.”

At least one person is proactive in the administration.
