I am currently in a 4-year bachelor's program and may graduate on Dec. 2012. My entire education has been a nightmare. My financial aid has never been right, and the advisor never returns calls or fix anything needed. When enrolling, I got a call everyday non-stop until I finally said okay. I automatically completed applications for grants and student loans, not having a clue on how they worked and just thought is was a process of enrolling. Anyways, as of 10/13/10, I had my daughter and could never rest from school or I would get kicked out of class and it would mess everything up. So I stayed in school and done all assignments before I went to the hospital. I even asked my primary doctor to induce me because I had to work around my school so I got induced so I could complete my entire 5 weeks worth of homework, and still working a full time job.
I scheduled to have my baby right before class night so that I could skipped 1 day, which was all we were allowed to miss and that next week, I was in class and should of been on bed rest after delivery for 6 weeks and was also anemic. I went to class to participate and still continued on even as of today. I have even seen classmates in class with a staff infection and not released out of class by the teacher, and sat there so he/she wouldn't fail. They don't take anything into consideration.
So now I have a new teacher who has never taught a class and I am one of the students in her new class. She has no clue of what she is doing and I have neither learned anything nor other students, which have complained to advisors as well as me. She not only could not teach but did not grade me accurately and I have asked 2 times to review and she is brushing me off, and my advisor said she would have to be the one to fix that and she is not trying to do that. If I do not pass, then I would have to pay cash for the class again.
Is phoenix just trying to get more money? I know for a fact some of my grades are not right but she still fails to implement the way she graded. She grades very low considering the only point given for the assignment and now I am about to fail and in order to continue, I would have to pay out my pocket. The teachers across board do not grade the same. Out of 3 years, every teacher grades on how they want to. Some teachers would give you your full grade when you didn't even do it right and say, 'Well, you tried." Then others grade you horrible when the classes are only 5 weeks long and not covering all areas to begin with.
I may not get my education as planned and my grades don't look good when teachers grade differently. I can answer 1 question and one teacher will say for effort, I give full points even if wrong and the other teacher will fail you saying that you've done it wrong but you not getting points for effort. If I fail, it will cause Phoenix to have to get $1200 out of my pocket before I could continue, which I don't have and then my graduation will be put out even further.
