I can’t believe how many students and parents did not choose to just go the community college route this year. I wonder how many regret it.
I was seriously expecting to be barraged with phone calls from our local community college begging me to teach a class. It didn’t happen.
Actually, come to think about it, I haven’t read or heard anything in local media about enrollment being up.
I wonder if that will change dramatically come spring semester.
community colleges usually offer much smaller classes than many high-cost colleges
some CC’s are so good that their graduates do better in upper division studies than universities’ own frosh-admittees do
with some exceptions, I always recommend students get their Associate degrees and all the units they can transfer into the university. Smaller classes mean more professor help is available. Example: local community college biology class has 28 students (range from 20 to 35). local university same class has 900 students in a big auditorium.
which students get to ask their study questions ?
