I came here about 8 months ago to get a revision of my IEP (Individual Evaluation Progress Report)…read moresince I have a learning disability and needed to get it revised to a more current one since I had my last one in 2001 to get special accommodations for school. I initially had one done by a doctor in Northfield that was for a legal proceeding that involved my grandmother and the social worker involved in the case (who's name won't be mentioned because this person is a bag of **** for a human being) who arranged it had initially told me to tell the doctor and his assistant to send her the bill until it culminated into a merry go round of phone calls to get the billing dealt with until she told me I had to take care of the $990.00 testing bill. God knows I didn't have a grand to pull out of my butt to up and pay for something that I wasn't initially responsible for. Please watch yourself with some social workers this is the game they pull to get things done on their end and you might get screwed by them so you want to keep any and all emails and document any text messages and phone calls that have taken place if you lodge a complaint against the social worker and the agency they work for. This is where I used my good intuition and called the Chicago Forensics Center since I had called around to different places and most of them wanted as much as $1200 for the testing and a copy of the report. I had tried to go back to the original place my very first IEP was done when I was diagnosed with a learning disability more than 30 years ago which was the University of Illinois, but at the time I had time constraints to get this done and over to my school. They screened me pretty fast and got me assigned to someone within a month which is typical after cases are reviewed according to need and services. I was assigned to an intern named Cori Harley who was great and she was the one who did my testing and as of this posting she will be leaving the facility since she's graduating at the end of the summer. Anyone who hires her will be getting a well trained graduate. She made me feel very comfortable and not weird like half the shrinks I had dealt with all my life who just made me feel very awkward and uncomfortable. They work on a sliding scale basis and you will have to provide some documentation to determine the fee for services. It's worth it for you to do if you need a revision of documentation if you have a previous diagnosis of being learning disabled or a first time diagnosis if you're an adult who wasn't screened as a child for a learning disability. I would recommend this place to anyone who needs services like this and want to be in a warm and caring, and non-judgmental environment. The place is very well maintained and washrooms are clean and kept up. The process can be long, but you'll get through it pretty quick it's best to do it when you're not working so you don't have to schedule multiple sessions to complete the testing process.

So I went to Wayne State Law School in Detroit, Michigan. During my tenure there we were what is…read moreconsidered a tier 3 law school. We had just gone through major renovations to update the law school, and I can say at the time, it was definitely an aesthetically pleasing building. But with all due respect, WSU aint got nothing on University of Chicago's school of Law. I didn't really get to see the entire thing, but here is what I will say. This place is absolutely stunning and an architectural jewel in Hyde Park. I was utterly amazed by the reflecting pool that sits outside of the law school, and is apparently a draw for young kids looking to cool off during the summer. The law library is expansive and beautifully crafted. I would love to have a board meeting in this space. It looks so classy and pristine. I can see why the school is ranked #4 in the country. Hopefully some of our clients can come speak to the students in the near future.

1 Star (if any) For ** ABUSE & THEFT of COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL **:…read more Henry George School in Chicago used my copyrighted content without permission, notification, or compensation (i.e., copyright theft) apparently as a misguided application of the Henry George 'common good' philosophy. Chuck Metalitz and film curator Bob Matter (who also appears to have some association with Facets in Chicago), recently ripped off my hard earned movie, 'BookWars' - which I'm still actually paying off in terms of production costs. They screened it and advertised it publicly at their venue, the Henry George School in Chicago, without notifying the copyright holder/producer or offering any payment. But there it was: publicly listed on their website calendar with a full description and synopsis. (*note 7/9/2015 - it looks like they have removed/cleansed the listing from their website; in any case screenshots of the listing are available as proof, if need be) A cached version of their original page can be found at http://www.gigablast.com/get?q=hgchicago.org+bookwars&qlang=&c=main&d=168821233413&cnsp=0 besides an archived version on my own website. Even so, it's striking that they would spend more time trying to cover their tracks - i.e., remove the evidence from their website - than actually undertaking outreach proactively to copyright holder to license the work, or even to ask for a waiver, or to settle the situation after the discovery of the theft. Had they been courteous and up front about their inability to pay a full screening fee, I would very likely have reduced the fee very very significantly, as I have done in the past with other pro-social and grass roots venues. Instead, Mr. Metalitz was defensive, disrespectful, disagreeable, and moreover demonstrated an air and attitude of entitlement to IP - Intellectual Property rights - that I found incomprehensible (besides being unfounded in law and practice) I only found out about the screening through a random google search and then saw the ad and page (see above). Mr. Metalitz indicated at first that he had a right to screen the movie under the 'classroom fair use' clause; it was not in fact classroom fair use though, as per https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/107 . As a filmmaker defending misuse of the work on occasion, I've had to become fairly knowlegable about fair use. Mr. Metalitz himself admitted that members of the public attended the screening, which clearly defines the exhibition as public performance - and copyright holder is entitled to compensation. Mr. Metalitz then proceeded to suggest, with links to an article he cherry picked somewhere, how IP (intellectual property) does not actually belong to the copyright holder, but is a common good, to be exploited at will by all. Despite repeated civil outreach, his colleagues Bob Matter (the film curator who presumably was responsible for selecting the movie and arranging the screening) and another mystery man named Bob Jene, avoided any of my inquiries until I contacted Mr. Matter through the website of the lawfirm where he works, Freeman Kevenides Law Firm. Thus identified, Bob Matter finally replied, stating that he would explain the 'misunderstanding' (but hasn't yet). Curiously, he also mentioned that Mr. Metalitz 'permitted' him to reply to my inquiry - is this a sort of cult? Separately, Mr. Metalitz grudgingly agreed in the end that I was entitled to some fee and made a minimal offer which I don't find agreeable, especially after the onerous process of identifying the theft/misuse of content, then tracking these guys down and discussing this with them and proving that I had a right to recoup my investment. Note: there are plenty of other films listed on their website, not sure of those are legit or not; in any case, filmmakers take note and, if this affects you, contact the Henry George School in Chicago to discuss. In short, I think these guys (the Henry George School) have taken the philosophy of their namesake way too far, and it's now a case of the serpent eating its own tail. The proponents of the Henry George philosophy are now cannibalizing legitimate, small business owners' creative works which were 'fairly made', and this is specifically contrary to the original philosophy of Henry George himself. I'm not an exploitive landlord: I'm a hard working media maker who put a lot of my own money, time and effort into producing this work (the movie they stole, 'BookWars') which is still being paid off and from which I'm entitled to recoup. It's ironic that the Henry George School offers a local tour apparently in Chicago called 'THEY STOLE IT', outlining the co-opting of real estate etc in the area. Sometimes the shadow is, indeed, darkest beneath the lamp...

The last thing they told me was that financial aid would be disbursed after May 22nd. What the hell does that mean??? It's June 19th! AFTER May 22nd for all I know could be next year! I checked my student account this morning, and they've already charged me tuition for the July session, of course. They are money hungry.! I am just trying to finish my program as quickly as possible and I want nothing to do with this place. Overall, if you're paying for school out of pocket, go for it. The education is great and you'll never deal with Student Central. But if you're depending on financial aid to cover you educational expense, RUN! They are so inconsistent and every day, they will give you a new excuse.

She is a caring, encouraging and challenging teacher who engages the students and, through examples and exercises, brings out ideas and actions in writing that were buried deep. Susan creates a sharing environment where ideas (good and bad) are explored and, through discussions with classmates, pushed to greater levels. Through video (movies) and a novel, Susan illuminates the course principles and marries them to our ideas. And, even better, classmates come from different backgrounds armed with different inspirations, skill levels and ideas. All are welcomed and all can incorporate the class room teachings into their writing, regardless of story genre. Susan and her classes will get you writing and, best, pushing your writing to levels unrealized. You will be a better writer. Susan and her classes get my highest recommendation and are worth the investment of time and money if you want to be a better, productive writer.

Her feedback helped me narrow down my characters' motives and conflicts. Another thing, I truly appreciated the workshop experience, where the class took turns reading a selection of each other's submission aloud and provided constructive feedback to the writer. I felt a real sense of community in this class. This was such a supportive environment. Everyone worked hard on their submissions and explored the struggle and joy of bringing a character to life. It was exciting to see what my classmates wrote every week and discuss the development of their characters. The party at the end was nice too. This course was definitely worth the investment.
