I simply asked how much the program was & if I could get the certification after attending these classes. I was chastised by her and asked if in the future, I could "compose a more formally-written email, especially given that we have not met." Lol. Ahhh, the irony. I am a 46 year-old with a Master's degree in English, who used to teach college. I do NOT need to be shamed or condescended to about the composition structure of my emails. I also don't think that is a great way to recruit students. I actually almost died several months ago from living in black mold, so I am struggling with chronic health & neurocognitive issues. I am tired & don't feel well. And I am tired of trying to reach a damn human being at these colleges, It's a mess. So, Ms. Hunnell, I hope that makes you feel better, acting like a miserable twa* to total strangers! :)

I have tried official channels. Im not afraid to de-anonymize myself either. To any official there: my initials are JML and my student ID ends in 0421. Some of your instructors have been complete garbage. I could go on ratemyprofessor.com and single them out, but I feel that is not nice or appropriate yet, so instead, Im going to bash on the institution a little bit in what I think is a fair way. The intro to MySQL class: this instructor was a robot that read from a script. He didnt teach, nor do I believe he knew anything about MySQL. There was no mention of tools (mysqlworkbench, terminal commands, phpmyadmin, etc...), there were no labs, no demonstrations, nothing. It was just him reading a script the. whole. time. At one point, I got so fed up that I interrupted him (politely) and pressed a fairly basic question about SELECT statements (it was on topic for what he was discussing at the moment). Yeah I knew the answer, I was basically calling him out on his BS. He was unable to answer it at all, so he just brushed the questions aside and kept reading from his script. I felt bad for the others in that class who arrived with no MySQL experience and left with no MySQL experience or knowledge. To any admin reading this, go watch the video of this guys class. It was a joke. I got an A in that class and didnt learn one damn thing. If anyone learned anything from the way that guy taught, Id be amazed, it was horrible, and I was really looking forward to that class. The Intro to OS and client/server environments class: this was really a writing class where the instructor pushed end of life windows operating systems and had no linux knowledge. There was no hands on anything, no labs, no quizzes, no intellipath, no Q and A, just literally blather about windows server 2006 and an extremely poorly designed multi session assignment (watch the videos to see what I mean). I did the reading assignments, which had decent material, but the worksheets were nonsensical, and the grading was more on if you follow APA format than had substance. This was all fine, whatever, but the kicker that really sets me off is the assignment that one assignment had explicitly set the requirement of 400 words. My paper had 454 words. Therefore I got a C. I sent in a grade appean, and it came back agreeing with the instructors grading in this matter: "The student's work was just above the minimum requirement at 454 words (400-600 required)" This is complete bullshit. If 600 is required, say "600 is required". I did the work, I met the requirements, give me my points. Ended up with an A- in that course but feel robbed. There have also been two really, really good teachers that stand out and wouldnt be fair not to mention. Applications of discrete math and stats: Amazing, would take class again even though I got an A. There were quizzes that you could redo any time, there was no writing assignments (which is appropriate for a math class), and he was able to field tricky math problems in real time. Great guy, great attitude. The intro to computer networking class: Another awesome class. Able to field difficult questions and roll with them. Quizzes, labs, a little writing, and an extremely methodical and knowledgeable instructor. Would take this class again, I felt I missed some of the deeper aspects, got an A. Could have spent 3 more weeks in this class. -JML Theres your 600+ words.

And now they're trying to bill a second time!!!! I payed my tuition and all other fees at the beginning of the year I should not have gotten a bill.

I had received a previous degree from CU Boulder and nursing school made that degree feel easy. While there are some bad professors at the school, there are bad professors everywhere. I unfortunately ran into some issues with my original cohort and had to talk to a few people in the school to get switched. They were super supportive of my request and checked in with me every quarter following that. While I don't want to diminish others experiences at DCN, nursing school requires hours upon hours of outside studying. If you think you studied enough, there is always time for more. You will not have any outside time to really see friends or do what you love until the program is over. Those going into nursing school thinking they can barely study and get by, think again. DCN does require you to receive a 78% on cumulative exams to pass the class, which is higher than most nursing schools. I do want to mention that everyone in my cohort has passed the NGN NCLEX in 85 questions so while these reviews may be scary to a new student or someone looking around, it is worth it. It may feel unnecessarily hard but when you are done, you will be thankful. With that being said, take the good and the bad and consider everything. DCN is one of the few programs in Colorado that doesn't require an entrance exam if you have a previous degree which was a big selling point for me. I also want to say that Dr. K is the new dean at DCN and she is amazing! She does care about you and if you approach her with concerns she is understanding and checks in often. She always made me feel welcome into her office to talk.

The staff of Spartan College Denver truly care about the student. I have seen them work tirelessly to help a student find housing, get a job, limit student debt and at times be a shoulder to cry on for students who may be going through a difficult time. To the staff and faculty of Spartan College Denver, students are never a number. Student success is how they define their own success. From the Dean of the college all the way down to the instructors, it is a team effort to make sure the each student of Spartan is successful and ready to take on the industries of Avionics and Aviation Maintenance. Take it from my many years of experience with several colleges. If you want a career in aviation and also want a school that truly cares about students and student outcomes, this is where you need to be. You can read review after review but until you see for yourself, these reviews are meaningless unless you witness it firsthand. So do yourself a favor and schedule a tour, meet with Career Services, Student Services, Admissions, and the Instructors. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.

Only after enrolling do I find out through a professor that they are phasing out all in person classes for the business school. Even so - they still take my money. Additional fees are charged for students who are enrolled "in person" yet only 2/10 courses are even offered in person... That number is soon to be 0. So I am effectively paying in-person fees but not being offered in person courses... On top of that, they claim recent budget cuts are the reason for their CUTTING SECURITY in the building. Students are left without security more often than not, and the ID access system they have is faulty and malfunctioning due to an overload of volume. This school is a fraud. Go to CSU Global instead. It's cheaper, and the online courses are much more in depth.

Let me start by saying that I have been to Mines as a student (undergraduate & graduate) and a…read morecorporate recruiter. Coming from this perspective, I have obvious positive bias towards this institution. Also, whatever you get out of your education is what you truly put in. Personally, I believe that Mines is a great institution that helps future engineers achieve their potential. From my experience, Mines has provided a lot of the skill sets I've needed to become successful in my career. Also, the programs at Mines are ever changing and evolving for the better. When I was taking classes, we definitely had a little bit more of a textbook structure. However, I see classes now incorporating more hands-on assignments and topics. Interestingly, I see classes moving towards topics that will truly be used in industry. I do believe that the education that you get from Mines will help you develop the skills you need to learn and be useful to a company. Opportunity. I definitely credit Mines will all of the opportunities I've received in my a lot of my life. Mines has helped me obtain funding, internships, connections, and jobs. Outside of this, there is a lot of opportunity for studying resources and help. If you aren't doing well, there are so many resources to help you do better. It is up to the individual to make use of these resources for their benefit. With all of the help that Mines offers academically, I believe that anyone can pass if enough effort is put into it. People do have to work and go to school. If you understand your limits and your financial ability, plan accordingly to what you think you can accomplish. Don't spread yourself too thin and only take on what you can chew. Honestly, the staff has been incredible to. If you give any normal person respect, I would believe that they would treat you with just as much respect. Respect is earned and given accordingly. I have received so much help from professors and administrative staff. They do want you to succeed. They are willing to help. But, be polite. Volatile conversations don't typically get you anywhere. This has just been my experience at Mines. I tried to address some comments I've seen in some of the other negative reviews I saw. Mines is a tough school, but it can be done. With hard work you can become successful. But, it's up to you to seize your own success and to pave your own way.
