Goodness good luck. I couldn't stand CC students when I was there as a student! No idea how the professors handle it. I know one guy that teaches 15 classes a year at CC... he says he enjoys it... he needs to be studied in a laboratory lol
Community colleges are accredited because four-year universities recognized that the classes they teach give equivalent education and standards of learning as they do. I went to an Ivy League school for undergrad, and there were plenty of professors there as well who knew nothing about teaching. I had to do most of the learning on my own. Guess what, it is the same standard as community colleges expect. Because it's COLLEGE! Because it is assumed you are no longer a child but an ADULT with capacity for learning! If you don't read the textbook... guess what, you won't learn! If you don't complete the homework... guess what, you won't learn! If you don't ask questions when you are confused... guess what, you won't learn! If you text during class instead of taking notes... guess what, you won't learn! Your grade must be a reflection of your learning. You signed up for a class because you agreed you will learn the material. Not plea for "extra credit" two weeks before the final exam! And for that matter, shouldn't "extra credit" mean extra learning? Not "oh-my-god I just realized I haven't done any of the work and put in no effort to learn anything, but I want a good grade anyway."
You should note that people go to ivy league schools because of networking which leads to better job prospects and basic employment. Not everyone with a degree is getting employed you know
+pkay dennis But you don't need to be an ivy league student for networking. You just need to know people in ivy leagues. That is how I went to Google and worked there while going to just a state college. But I took advantage of going to ivy league campuses and networking there.
TheWise One you lucky to get a job a Google to begin with Google in itself is an ivy league of corporations. Point still stands you need to get into the higher class
I attended community college a number of years ago, and, while it is not Harvard, it is more challenging than high school. Your academic participation in that setting needs to be on a more adult level, and you have to be responsible for everything that you do. Your parents can no longer be involved in your education, except for possibly being the ones to pay for your college experience.
I've been teaching in CC for some time now. A few years ago a student did not hand in a paper. After a week i asked her why and she told me she didn't have ink for her computer. When i suggested that maybe she should buy more she said with a straight face " That's my father's job". Then she had that gall to ask me why I gave her an "F" She registered for the class with me again a year later but dropped out when I wouldn't carry over her work from the previous semester.
I spent a year and a half at community college before transferring to a four-year school. I started 14 years after high school and I didn’t learn APA in high school...I was still able to do papers requiring APA format just fine. In Ed Psych, when half the students didn’t do well on their papers, the professor spent a good portion of class explaining why some folks didn’t do well.
I'm not sure how community colleges work elsewhere, but in our state no one can be hired as a part-time/full-time professor without at least a master's degree. More of my colleagues have a Ph.D., actually. I also think it's a bit misleading to compare those 11th grade classrooms to "most community college classrooms" unless you've actually observed *most* of them. There is a wide variety of structure & quality of instruction in community colleges, but that's true about universities too.
My community college general ed classes on the 101 level during the Fall/Spring semesters were little more than glorified high school classes, but Summer classes brought in students who were pretty serious about their work. Once I finished the Gen Ed classes and started working on my major-specific courses the atmosphere started to resemble a setting one would associate with college: Demanding coursework, no babysitting, and success/failure largely determined by the student's focus. Combine this with having my core/major specific courses only being available at night for the most part and all of the bullshit depicted by this video disappeared.
@commcollprof I got a 4.0 my first semester :) I only took science and math courses though, so I didn't need to write that many papers. Hopefully when I need to take my writing class, I'll pay attention to the formatting rules and avoid Tiffany's fate.
i went to community college. there was this lady in my sociology class who asked if she could use wikipedia as a source for a research paper. she asked in front of the whole class. lol she was serious.
Very true. My friend never worked in the field but many people teaching at CC have. Far more than you find in a typical BA or BS program. Actually, I had a prof at a CC that was very influential in my becoming a psychologist.
No doubt. I have a friend that teaches psyc & criminology at a CC. She had a student write a paper on gun control & crime patterns. The student got an F & contested the grade. It was graded as an F again. The student pulled the old those that can't do teach line & said "a real criminologist would pass me." Thats where I come in. I am a forensic psych/criminologist & I read the paper. I was stunned at how bad it was. Info was wrong,no citations etc. Stunning this was turned in for a college class
I'm sorry to hear that. Ours is better than the one my undergrad university had, but we are fortunate to be a community college whose funding has remained relatively steady despite our state's economic crisis. I know this isn't the case everywhere.
I am SO thankful to have completed community college, and be free of that worthless institution. Hopefully the other students at university will be of slightly higher intelligence as compared to community college.
When I was tutoring, I had a student at Citrus College. She had no idea what to do about College Algebra. I asked if she had read her textbook and she told me that she never read her textbook, she never read books. I told her that she had to at least read the book and she stormed away crying. That chick was an idiot and she had no business being in college, even at community college.
Folks, if you think the kids' sense of entitlement they sometimes display is bad? Look at some of the middle aged students that attend due to being out of a job. All day long they don't really pay attention in class, instead complain how there are not any jobs for them, inspite of the fact that there are plenty of them, just not the ones they happen to like. My dad, a 60+ year old machinist, was able to get an interview inside a week of applying. He tells me it's the kids in class that behave.
Recent research has proven that those who graduate from community colleges are making just as much money as those graduating from state schools, and coming out with less debt to boot.
i agree..i did 2years at a comm.college and sum ppl who went to a 4 yr may think its not a "real" college ...I KNOW ONE THING..I HAVE SEEN PPL FINISH COMM. COLLEGE AND GET "REAL" JOBS>>>LOL
I felt for Tiffany when she said that it was community college not Harvard. I have been in 11th grade classrooms with more structure and teaching skills than most community colleges. Lately, they are hiring their recent college graduates to teach classes. It's unnerving how unreliable education sources have been. All my feelings definitely changed when he said he had a PHD. I don't care who you are you have to respect anyone teaching who is a DR. Whether you agree with them or not.
(My dad made this video) and he told me that he wanted to make it for fun, not anything else He used a website which doesn't exist anymore to make it as well, so sadly no part two
Contrary to popular belief, not everyone who goes to a community college are idiots. I know that's not what the uploader was trying to suggest I just wanted to say that in response to the people who think they're hot shots because they pay 40k+ for their fancy schools and think they're getting a better education than everyone else.
ripperduck no. There are really fucking stupid students at CC. The smart ones don’t say anything, don’t bitch about the class, and are prepared and do the work. Or they are High School dual enrollment students
@03:28 just to stay on her parent's insurance---so true. Apparently, CC teachers need to realize this. Many students, especially young ones, also have jobs that are INFLEXIBLE regarding school schedules, and CC instructors are apparently ignorant and mention the "campus resources"---as if CC students really have that "academic luxury"? CC instructors just promote their "academic arrogance" and blame students for being lazy and unmotivated--which is true--but many don't have time/resources.
Wow -- you're whining over here too. You have access to the world on the internet if you use the information facilities properly and deeply. And have you ever heard of interlibrary loan? The specialists will get you any peer-reviewed professional articles you want if you give them a little running time. Of course, that means you have to know what you want and what you are doing, before the last minute. No matter what happens, none of it was ever your fault, right? Hell of a life priority.
HOW can u say CC is worthless and yout goin to a4 yeaar///it seems like u finished a 2 yr program and now transferring to a 4 yr...without the CC u wouldnt be going to the 4 yr...and think about all the money u saved BEFORE going to the 4 year...u should be more thankful of ur former school than bashing it...i love CC..they have programs for ppl who dont want to go to a 4yr and they can start working immediately after completion...
CC resources, e.g. the Career Center, library/writing center, career assessments, personal development courses-are a joke. Textbooks SOARING; managing even a 12-unit MINIMUM load-satisfactory progress for "financial aid" eligibility/auto/parent's health (transportation to campus--attendance required)-which CC profs/counselors push (good luck paying back loans in this economy-even if you do succeed--public transport unavailable to and from? Chronic health problems? Paying rent/bills? BUMMER!
Wow. Thank you for that video. I am a beginning community college professor, and you hit it straight on.
Goodness good luck. I couldn't stand CC students when I was there as a student! No idea how the professors handle it. I know one guy that teaches 15 classes a year at CC... he says he enjoys it... he needs to be studied in a laboratory lol
***** I am going to start saying Dr professor.
Thiswould be funny if it were a spoof. Unfortunately, this is what community college professors encounter regularly.

I love how he ends the conversation with just empty air quotes.

Are you still a CC professor?

Hmm...he forgot the letter "N." 😏
She doesn't seem ready to be in ANY college - community or 4-year university.
I am SO thankful to have completed community college, and be free of that worthless institution. Hopefully the other students at university will be of slightly higher intelligence as compared to community college.

If one of my students ever cited any wiki they would get a zero. I would not even allow my 11-year-old child use it for his 6th grade project!
One of my students managed to cite an article written in Portuguese, for a microbiology class
