First off, I would like to say Prairie View is what you make of it. It may have hooligans and hoodlums but in a semester they?ll be gone because they can?t progress while keeping their grades up to par. Most of the professors, I assume, just started and do not know what they have gotten themselves into because they fail to teach at a college level. The material and lesson plans are uninteresting and not hands-on so it is very difficult for all types of students to learn. I also have come to that conclusion because they teach right out of the book. If I wanted to read the book, I wouldn?t attend class. I would stay in my room and teach myself because it?s just the same kind of knowledge. I?ve taken algebra 3 times and it should never be that hard. If it wasn?t for the 3 absence policy, like high school, I wouldn?t be in class instead I would be in the library working on something else. Some professors are immature, as to when you try to tell them something they?re doing is wrong they bluntly ignore it like a child would their mother. I have one professor this semester in the criminal justice, new to the scene, area and she asks us questions on hoe she could better herself, we come with solutions but she shuts us down. I had an English teacher my second semester, new as well, whose voice was quiet and couldn?t handle the class room. No one understood her and she didn?t like to repeat herself. Everyone ultimately would?ve failed but she gave us all C?s so she could keep her job. Where do they get these slacker professors from? The staff members are 98% slackers and bullshitters. They expect us to be at our best but what kind of example are we getting from these older adults if they?re no kind of decent role model. We as students strive so hard and try and try but we get no appreciation like a bigger cafeteria, we get a park for lazy bums to sit and waste time in. Yeah, it?s pretty for all the outsiders but when we have high school/middle school/ alumni visitors we have to cram ourselves into one cafeteria that was smaller than my elementary cafeteria. That?s a fire hazard. They take our money, waste our money and no one?s willing to stand up against them because they?re afraid. Of what, to lose their education, here? They ONLY have parties on week days which is so distracting, why not have those things on weekends. They have humpday, in the middle of the day, where all the classes are. It?s a very big distraction for the kids trying to concentrate on what the professor may be saying. It?s like they want us to do better but they don?t want to see us make it because they?re jealous underneath it all. I?m ranting and venting but all in all I give this school a 50% because only 50% or less of the people you came in with will make it.
