This is the end of the Quarter(semester), and approximately three weeks ago I informed the…read moreinstructor I was not given a required component to do my final project, he responded simply with an indirect, "cant help you" this same instructor will interupt class time to talk about fashion, and other non-course relates topics. He even goes the extra step to avoid students who are proactive about seeking assistance during class time. Of course, sadly, I have failed ths class, but he made it a point to email me several derogatory emails about failing the class blaming me for it all. Do not attend this school, it is an incredible waste of time, money and space. This school needs to be shut down immediately.

A couple weeks after I turned 17, I decided to forgo my senior year at Trenton High School, and…read moreinstead I spent my senior year in the US Navy avionics program learning how to become an electronics technician in the naval aviation field. After my four years up, I went straight to Henry Ford College and began studying Physics, Psychology, Philosophy and Music, eventually earning a degree in Liberal Arts. Because all of the teachers there are top notch and highly recruited by many other prestigious schools, HFC administrators do a fantastic job of curating these world-class level professors whom share a passion for their subject matter and for teaching that subject matter to everyone willing to learn. My all-time favorite teacher, from all of my years in public school, and my time in Naval schools and even my time at UofM AA included, was the incomparable Peter Putnam at HFC. Mr. Putnam normally taught any and every English class that he could, and likewise I took every single class that I could with Mr. Putnam, who had a massive impact on my life and I owe him a tremendous debt of gratitude. Had it not been for my phenomenal education at HFC, I would not have earned an academic scholarship to the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, which would further my education and expanded my sense of who I was and more importantly, who I could become. The common latin phrase: "Scientia potentia est" which means "Knowledge Is Power" is a maxim that I have witnessed proven in my life, myriad times, and HFC helped send me on that path and I will be forever indebted to institution and my specific teachers. Dr. Azar was a treasure as well, and he also altered the direction of my life, again, for tremendous benefit to me, and eventually for my children as well. There are many different teachers & professors there that I could espouse, yet HFC is the organization that recruits these special teachers and deserves credit for creating a phenomenal center for learning. I cannot overstate what a superlative institution HFC is. They were the driving factor that helped me earn an Academic scholarship at University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, and not only will I be forever grateful, but there were many classes at HFC that were superior to UofM. I bleed Maize & Blue, through & through, but HFC made that dream possible. While I was at HFC, I felt that I should give back somehow, and they quickly set me up with their Special Needs department and began giving me as many struggling students that they could and I learned that I love tutoring and that I am exceptional at doing it. Again, I have to thank HFC, for revealing my character. I simply cannot recommend HFC highly enough, anyone who is even remotely considering it, just sign up and begin your world class education. Knowledge is power

I went to this school in the early 80's. My experience was not good. I had a few very bad…read moreexperiences with the professors here. In one case I was taking an art class and apparently the teacher did not like the direction of my drawing, so instead of telling me what I should do, he took my paper and pencil away from me and started doing it himself. After another bad experience in another art class I basically quit and never really did art again after that, which is sad because I really enjoyed it. Then in psychology class that I took, I had a teacher who decided that instead of teaching us about psychology, he was going to teach us about the anatomy of the brain. We spent the entire class learning about the anatomy of the brain and then towards the end of the semester, he announced that instead of a final exam, there would be a class and if we showed up we passed and we didn't I guess we did not pass. Well on the last day of class the teacher did not show up. So I guess the school just did some kind of average of our previous test scores for that class. Then in a sociology class I had a teacher who kept insisting that he was going to politicize us. We also had an older senior classmate in this class which I personally found refreshing, but the teacher treated this classmate terribly and I felt really bad for him. Thankfully I think that schools have progressed beyond this and now treat older students much better than that. I'm sure this school has improved over the years, so I wouldn't necessarily consider my review to be very relevant for today, however, I'm adding it as a cautionary tale for people who may accept improper teaching methods and not question it or decide to find a better teacher or class. Also, I've been holding this in a long time and I still think about it from time to time and how my future could have been different if my experience had been better or if I found a better way to handle it. Sadly, the school counselors during this time period were not very helpful either.
