Community

With the recently new show about community college, I want to talk about my community college experience. I thought there were some good teachers at sscc, but overall I was dissatisfied with the experience. There were too many high school students there doing the PSO program. I didn't think the classes were challenging enough. I made a good effort to study, and carried a 3.5 when I was there, but didn't think things were hard enough.

I really liked one of the teachers I had there. My english I and II teacher was excellent and I recommend her to everyone that I hear is going there. The history teacher I had there was good also, and the math teacher I liked also. Most of the other staff did not really impress upon me that much. The chemistry teacher I had there was okay, but I think the other person they had doing chemistry was better.

I finally decided that I should be expecting more from my college life, and was getting what I payed for at sscc. I knew that I was going to start at OSU for my sophomore year and took some what turned out to be junk classes at sscc. This kind of came back to get me. I ended up staying at OSU an extra quarter to get in all the classes that I needed to graduate. If I had planned or done things better, I might have graduated on time. But then I wouldn't have been at OSU when I was and had what might have been the best year of my life. I didn't have a job lined up for when I should have graduated so the only thing I was out was the whatever money I spent. I had enough scholarship to pay for the year so that wasn't an issue.

Part of my beef with the local community college is the PSO program. The schools need to be more authoritative about what classes the students are taking. I think the students are signing up for to many cake classes from the easy teachers. The high schools should mandate which classes and teacher the students are taking.
