Since the start of my education here at Raymond Walters, I have noticed many things. From the simplicity of the landscaping to the one-on-one professor to student environment, this campus is worth paying to attend. When signing up for classes, I thought little about different professors. Education should have close to the same quality, no matter who is teaching the course. How wrong I was!I learned the hard way that you should always ask other students about an instructor before registering for their class or paying your tuition. Truth be told, some teachers are not meant to teach the subjects that they are instructing.
Walking into a class and seeing a teacher who does not look fit to teach the subject at hand is one thing, but to go through two weeks of the course and be certain they are in the wrong department is a completely different matter.
My biggest question is to the college itself. What criteria do you use to find a professor to teach a certain subject? Hopefully the answer has nothing, or little, to do with how much they may expect to be paid.
No offense to anyone in particular; I just think that this problem should be addressed in the long-term to make sure that the professors teaching the students who pay quite a bit of money to sit and listen are learning the correct material.
I will not sign up for a professor blindly anymore, having learned my lesson once or twice. Everyone may not have experienced this, but you may eventually, if you are not careful with your choice of instructor. I would suggest using this advice to your advantage to avoid such a situation.
There are many reasons I am writing this article, but I assure you, the least of which is to vent. I hope to inform the student body of all colleges and universities that when they’re registering, they are doing so for more than a class.
