Finally a place to vent!

I must say that the instructors at ITT are the worst. I know a lot of this stuff already, I just needed a degree to put on my resume. I chose ITT because it's really the only "college" of any in this area that actually has IT courses, I didn't want to go for Computer Science, I don't want to program. ANYWAY, I find that I'm always correcting the teachers, asking questions that force them to react like a deer in headlights, or I become the kid in class that everybody comes to for help and therefore even though I'm trying to learn at least something I don't because I become the designated class helper. Sometimes the teacher actually does know the material, but then you're stuck with their inability to teach it. I don't think that they require these people to have any kind of teacher degrees, anybody know for sure? Some of my current teachers include: My "linux operating systems" teacher, who somehow has his own consulting firm, and achieved a linux certification, which I found out to be the 3X0-101 test from SAIR, and when I found the actualtests.com questions for it, was more or less "what does ls do?". The biggest gripe that I have is grading. The teachers are all pussies, pardon my french, to actually give somebody a failing grade. I guess of course it would be in bad form to fail your "customers". I'm constantly in classes with people that do absolutely nothing and pass with a B or an A, while I try to overachieve so my degree will at least mean something to me, if not anybody else. I think that covers it for now at least, thank you for listening!

That is why we are here! Most instructors at ITT suck. My economics teacher first said he was a realitor, then he was a salesman who sold paper (Heroes, The Office)?? He couldn't keep his story straight.

At the Tempe Campus, most of the instructors said they used to teach at ASU, LOL then why are they working at ITT for low ass pay. There is this java teacher....Well ill make a thread about this guy.

Thanks for coming and hope you will be a long time member!

We're apparently short a teacher now, and this guy that they got to be an adjunct was apparently a cop for 11 yrs,who worked in the cyber crime unit, did computer forensics and intrustion detection as well. Well with that history, *WHY* is he working at ITT?? Not to mention that right now we're in the middle of a budget cut? yea, where is all that money going that we're paying?? Well hope you liked the commercials, because you're the biggest shareholder.
