My teachers were mostly qualified to deliver a strong basic computer science foundation, but the program was too far behind the times. When I graduated in '03, the computer lab was still an old VAX/VMS system from the 70's. It should have been modern pc's running visual studio. We were required to spend two tortuous semesters learning the intricacies of COBOL, when it was an outdated platform that is rarely used anymore. I feel like my time was wasted on old technology when it could have prepared me for modern technology.I made many friends at the school and enjoyed that aspect of student life. Unfortunately, the Dean's office and some floorleaders ruined it. There was an aura of mistrust and control that overshadowed every aspect of student life. The smallest infractions were enough to land a student in enough trouble to make it difficult to focus on studying. For example, simply touching my fiance would have been met with being "socialed". This means that I would have been forbidden from speaking with or interacting with any girls for two weeks.It is a childish system that has no place on a college campus. |
