    The school is beautiful, the dorms are nice as well. Most teachers teach from a powerpoint and I…read morecan tell you I barely learned anything. President Alicia Harvey-Smith is a sketchy joke who fumbled the school. I wish I could get my money back, definitely not worth it. I was better off paying for a scenic apartment, thats pretty much what this place was anyways. Just an apartment with a dumb school nearby.

    The teachers at PTC do not seems to be qualified to teach the course content they are assigned nor…read moredo they seem to understand how to use the learning management system Bright Space. For example, my son enjoyed his classes turned in all of his assignments, and was excited to be a student at PTC. Unfortunately he received an F in all of classes in the first quarter. However when I calculated his grade by hand he received 3 B's and 2 C's. I contacted the instructors to let them know about the discrepancies and they replied that the system automatically calculated the grades. Therein lies the problem. The instructor did not assign several assignment that were worth 12 points each but the system automatically calculated the points for those assignment resulting in lowering his grade from a C to an F. Additionally, PTC is deceptive about the qualification of the instructors. For example in the faculty profiles the critical thinking teacher is a male with 15 years of experience. However the critical thinking teacher for my son was a female and she was not included in the faculty profile page. Shady to say the least.

    As you probably already know, Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) is one of the top-ranked…read moreuniversities in the United States and world and has top-ranked programs such as computer science, engineering, statistics, business, and psychology. I have never been a student, faculty member, or staff member here, but my husband did teach short courses in the computer-science department years ago, and I recently used CMU's Hunt Library to search for grant opportunities. As an outsider, I approached the information desk to ask for a free, temporary username and password to use their grant database GrantForward. The employee asked another employee about it a few times, looked at my ID, gave me the username and password, and kindly walked me to another floor. The library looked old and like it needed to be remodeled, and a small section of it was being remodeled. Noisy construction was occurring. I felt surprised that not many computers were there. One computer would not turn on, another computer needed an administrator to fix it, and finally the third computer allowed me to log in. The GrantForward database gave me very useful information about grants. The computer, though, logged me off about every two hours without giving any notice, so I lost my place the first time and had to sign back in. In the end, I felt thankful that CMU allowed me to use their library.

    I enjoyed walking around campus and catching the art vibe - lots of cool things to see on foot.read more

    While browsing the Carnegie farmer's market I came across a vendor who had this store's goods out…read morefront on a table for sale. There was a nice assortment of things to choose from including fingerless gloves and beautiful pottery mugs. They told me if I want to see more then head into the store. I did just that and got to meet up with the owner Eva and learn more about the business. Various artists from all over the country contribute their wares to this shop and some are even local. You can find most anything here from crafted "aliens" to wooden Nativity sets to various types of jewelry, glass, pottery and of course beautiful paintings that adorn the walls. Even Eva herself has some of her own works for sale here. There is so much to look at. She also told me some of the artists do charitable work and you can purchase things such as "cuff" bracelets that will signify the artist who created the piece. The drink mugs were beautiful and some of them had Bible verses on them. I was admiring a green one with a flower on the handle and then I learned that she hoped to get more selection in from this seller within the next week or so. I decided to hold off on my purchase until I saw what was coming in. Some of the merchandise can be pricey but it all depends up the work that is put into them. For example an artist, she was selling had hand drawn images of a few of Pittsburgh's landmarks as a cuff bracelet. It's a bit pricey but she told me all the labor that goes into making the design can be time consuming. They offer workshops and events from time to time. Most of the art is contemporary style with at least 20 different artists in emerging to mid career levels. Check out their on line shop if you want to learn more or make a purchase directly from your home. This shop is currently open Thurs-Sun only and of course you can walk in when the farmer's market is going on. Am definitely planning to return here so I can browse more of the collection. Situated on Main St near the Carnegie Coffee company, metered street parking is available across the street.
