    So I was here for a school field trip, for our 1st graders…read more We visited to the Planetarium, and the hosts were super helpful and gracious. The 1 hour program was good, but I felt the introduction video, with "Luna the moth", wasn't age appropriate for our kids. It felt too babyish and they weren't interested in that part. The rest of the program was great, and it kept their attention throughout the rest of the program. I think also more interactive content would be helpful, instead of the kids staring up at a screen for 1 hour. Also not being able to record our field trip inside was a bummer, so we don't have any evidence of what we saw. I understand their policies, but it would be nice to have some pictures and video of what they saw during the show. The person hosting too, was pretty dry lol. Her voice was very monotone and her jokes were a lot of 80's references, which was way over their heads, because they're only 7 years old, lol.

    I went to De Anza from 2014-2019. After getting academically disqualified from SJSU and not being…read moreable to reenroll in classes I needed to retake, I thought going to De Anza would be my best option to pick myself up, and it was. The professors were super nice and wanted you to pass your classes. Coming in, I thought De Anza would be super easy and I wouldn't have to put in any effort; I was somewhat right and wrong. Some of the classes were easy and fun; with only 20-30 students in a class, the classes were more intimate than bigger CSU or UC classes. Some of the classes were legitimately difficult, but they were passable if you really put your mind to it. The food in the cafeteria and cafe were affordable and delicious. I loved the sandwiches, coffee, and instant ramen. Parking is bad in the morning-afternoon, but empties out around late afternoon. Traffic on 85 is bad around 3pm though so I personally liked going to evening classes. Wish I put my mind into my studies a little more back then but hey I have a bachelors degree now and am in grad school. De Anza's classes and professors were there for me when I had nobody to help me. I'll always appreciate my time there!

    I have taken classes online for Educational Therapy and I have enjoyed what I have learned through…read morethe professors. All the instructors I have worked with have graduate degrees and several years of work experience. You can tell the instructors love their jobs, are passionate about their areas of interest, and are motivated to help you become a well-trained student and excellent professional. They want you to do well and be ready to move into the field in due time. In my opinion, I think that these courses will be a positive experience for you if you have at the minimum 2+ years of full time work experience in public education, special education, healthcare, occupational therapy, and or psychology. The classes were well-paced, organized, made sense, and directed students to many resources to use as students and professionally in the field. We were encouraged to join certain professional associations to keep up with professional education and to specialize. The trainings we were referred to in order to develop or enhance our skills have been well-rated, well-regarded, meet the gold standard, and are well-known for actually being helpful for the learners they are targeting. They offer several online classes to work at your own pace. More now, in fact than before. They have several classes each quarter which is convenient because you can finish many classes each quarter if your finances and schedule permits. They have short courses which make sense for the topics they are covering. When you do have to attend online meetings, they have commonly been on Zoom once or twice a week. They do have hybrid classes with alternating online meetings via Zoom for a couple of hours and independent work on your own time. Sometimes they have weekend seminars that last for a good chunk of time over a couple of weeks. I have yet to find them dull. Because this is a post-Graduate certificate, the work is rigorous. You do need to have childcare, family supportive care, and manage your calendar and daily schedule very well. You need a quiet corner with great internet to sit in lecture, put in the time to read, and plan out your writing assignments and projects. If your life and family are not currently peaceful, calm, and orderly, wait to start the classes until they are. The instructors are so helpful and supportive, but they can only do so much. The amount of reading assigned is generous, but never painful. The material is useful, relevant, interesting, and thought-provoking. I'm looking forwards to learning more.

So the interior is super modern, team offices are spacious (TV's in each room with ip screen sharing), great lecture room technology, and overall clean. There's usually always security at the front. And kind staff if you ever need anything. Great space for learning :D

The faculty and staff that that work in the admissions office and the Desp department are dope as well. That being said the school has a few things that are not going for it. Like the fact that the water bottle filters need changing to freshwater so they don't have a bitter copper taste. Mm gotta love those pennies on my tongue every now and then. On the second hand is an absolute embarrassment the toilets I don't know why they thought it was a great idea to ruin the toilets but they did it and me a 6' guy that usually has to go in the handicap bathroom stalls has to sit at an angle of which is totally not acceptable for then I might be leaving a mess for someone else. Yes that's right the bathroom toilet paper dispensers are to damn close to my damn legs I can't even stretch out and be comfortable whilst going to the John. You guys messed up big time. The third and most important goal in this case the coffee in the cafeteria was nice when we had drip coffee and now it's not so great. Enough said. Signed, The Lone Reviewer

    What is a 68 year old fart writing a review about Mission College?…read more Drove 14 miles round trip on a Wednesday to Mission College parking lots B and C, where Kaiser Permanente is giving out flu shots. Kaiser Permanente is not giving out walk in flu shots at its hospitals this year in Santa Clara county. Instead it is teaming up with Mission College offering drive through flu vaccinations. Drive southbound 101, left turn on Great America, left turn onto Mission College blvd, and right turn around the parking lots. Place is huge, perhaps larger than nearby Levi stadium parking lot. Temporary signs lead the way to parking lot B, empty of student cars due to virtual classes. Sign says no photography nor videos. Probably for privacy concerns of the patients. No line, no waiting for cars in front of me. Fortunately as this is an 84 degree day in late October. One mile drive through a maze of orange traffic cones and chain linked wooden construction signs zig zagging through the parking lot, like a waiting line at Disneyland. Place can handle 2000 cars a day or 300 cars per hour. Roll the window down, with your mask on. Got to show your kaiser membership card just before the tent entrance just to get in Directed by masked members at the tents, to one of half a dozen drive in stations, where the flu vaccinations are set up. Each station can handle 50 cars per hour, or one car every 60 seconds. Turn off engine. Personnel swipe my Kaiser card through the electronic card reader, and check my one year old real id driver license. Wear a shot sleeve shirt, so that they can give you a 25 ml vaccine dose. I tell them I'm over 65, so I get a 27 ml dose needed for seniors like me. A bit of alcohol to clean the skin, a poke of the needle, and dab of cotton over the puncture. Flu vaccinations from 9am-415pm Monday-Saturday, except Tuesday which is 1pm-415pm. Earlier in September you had to make an online appointment. Now no appointment needed, as nobody coming on weekday afternoons. In and out in 15 minutes max. People could come here on their lunch times, the only advantage of having to come to work during the coronavirus. The sea of parking cones reminds me of when I took driving lessons from my Dad in the late 1960s at the vast UC Berkeley parking lots. Driving a 1965 Chevrolet Impala, a big difference from my stick shift 2017 Honda Fit. Car was so big that I would probably run over a fair number of those traffic cones and chain barriers at Mission College.
