My experience at a community college was quite different. The physics professors were known to kick people's asses but you learned a lot, and the math courses ->calculus were really good. However, not all classes had the same level of rigor. I took grammar course at the community college, and all we did was watch videos of flying saucers with the instructor going on and on about the conspiracy cover-up. WTF, it was a grammar course. So a mixed bag.
- nvarsj 9y agoMy physics professor at CC was an ex surfer whose son was a famous world class surfer. He would spend most classes telling us about surfing, mixed with warnings to never go into Physics unless you loved it because there was no funding. We did lots of fun labs, but nothing too rigorous. He was an amusing guy. My worse teacher was for CS. He was supposed to teach us about assembly language, but he had absolutely no idea what he was doing, and it was obvious to everyone. He would just babble nonsense for hours every lecture, trying to pretend he understood. The class revolted and petitioned to get him expelled from the college! I think he was one of the most senior lecturers there, he might have even been chair of the CS dept. Can't say I'm surprised, I think CS teaching quality is poor outside of 4 year schools.
