My first day I should have called it quits.. Orientation, no student lounge, couches coffee tables, televisions or even a coffee machine with a few simple perks. Your student lounge consists of a cafeteria fit for second graders, yet the staff has a lounge. Speaking of the staff.. Not one of them are ?Alumni? of TBC.. But Youngstown State graduates doomed to PRETEND that indeed it is a higher education you provide. In your defense I was told not to even attend because a degree from your institution is frowned upon on many fronts, employers, institutions, lawyers, courts, and even bail bondsmen do not want to see a piece of paper saying one completed your program. \r

I will be brutally honest, you folks are just as lazy as the students you pretend to help. One of my assignments was to make a map, something we all did in second grade. I'm taking political science not cartography class!!!! That same teacher accused me of playing with myself under my desk which by the way, that desk still has the same pop rings from my first day of class. The same teacher, which was the straw that broke the camels back made some pretty racist statements that were absolutely inappropriate. That same teacher liked to talk about other students when they were not present in class. I am talking personal stuff that was not for other students to hear, he also mentioned that MOST of your students had a tendency to get their financial aid and quit. Which was another huge red flag!!! Why is it okay for an instructor to discuss other students personal business? Not to mention the fact that the same instructor was constantly bringing up my financial situation which is nobody's business. Yes I am financially secure, I have made and continue to make good financial decisions which pay off in dividends. \r

You have another ?INSTRUCTOR? who believes he is teaching at a university which makes his class so rigid and static that the fact that he is teaching adults does not cross his mind. It is indeed adult learning, we have lives, jobs, children.. I missed my first test because he said the test was on Wednesday had to get my son from school on Tuesday and wow.. guess what? He had the test on Tuesday. He needs to learn a bit of gray and not just black and white. I understand the passion he has for his profession and the fact that he is probably embarrassed about where he is an instructor, I know I would be.\r

Look, your classes and instruction is so lazy and pathetic that I could simply buy the book, look up the TERMS and memorize them so basically if I wanted your type of education I could simply home school myself because your classes structure consists of whatever is in bold type, write it down and turn it in as homework. I am so disappointed in your curriculum and myself for thinking I would get a quality education from you folks. I told you I majored in early childhood education when I went to an ACTUAL REAL SCHOOL... Your instructors have no LESSON PLAN.. No agenda, no structure and no real knowledge of what TEACHING actually is. If you really cared about your students (the heroin addicts nodding off in class) you would make a student lounge, couches, televisions, free to use computers and a personal place to wind down between ?classes?. I don't know, paint your walls, get some real chairs, get some real desks.. But your walls and desks speak volumes!! We have zero regard for progress, we are happy with mediocrity, its a dump and we are okay with that.
