The Fashion department is well known in the industry. However I am going to refer merely to the technical program and the fashion merchandising classes. The technical program in which I am enrolled is really good, and it offers variety of programs that the industry is using right now;(not all the universities have the advantege in offer such variety) sadly, you are not going to be able to become skillful enough for the demanding industry because during the time of the classes you can only take the acknowledge but not experience, and the classes can not be repeated. Talking about Fashion-merchandise classes think carefully in this college. I tried once and my try was unsuccessful. They have just one teacher for the entire merchandising classes, and although this teacher has been teaching for 20 years, she is in the industry, and she has good enough acknowledge, her classes are very unorganized, she confuses one class with another one; and, you need to figure out very hard how to study because: you can not fallow a book, your resources are going to be just photocopied pieces of research she has done here and there, and the notes you have to take during the entire class while she is talking, you can not use a recorder and she emphasizes in this point, and she does not write on the board. Her math acknowledges are very poor but she demands the best from you. Besides all of these points, this teacher discriminates and uses strong words in her class time. Further, the students with certain weaknesses are going to become in the scapegoats, and she enjoys giving them a hard time in front of the class. The reason why she is still there, apparently with this recently government measures the colleges has no money and this “retired” teacher has a particular agreement, so the college can continue with the program with reasonable cost. ( I have not fundaments in this last matter, but I am writing what is known in the campus)
