Sorry I just wanted to know if that was the principle behind regenerative braking, I didn't think the professor would base a quiz around that. :(

The classes I took at community college were small and you could interact with the other students and professor. The majority at university was a powerpoint reading with 400 people. University is a bullshit scam and also more expensive. Getting a degree from those schools is retarded and you'd be better off reading wikipedia

both

one of the advisers ignores student calls and emails constantly and it's pretty lovely. a lot of the time i just sit and listen to students complaining about how they dont have enough time for their full community college workload but they don't even have a part time job or a kid or anything it's just like wtf else are you doing with your time god drat

The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.
i still tutor for my old cc online and i think the students get progressively dumber every semester

the community college i started at didn't actually have that many lovely people there, it was just the only show in town and you literally had to get on a plane to get to a state university so a lot of people who could've gone to regular college have to settle for cc. plus university of hawaii fuckin gouges you and it's cheaper to go to to a mainland uni even after airfare lol. not everyone is willing to leave though

a couple years ago it became an official outreach branch of UH so they could charge students $10k a semester even though it only offers like three different four-year degrees. it worked out for everybody in the end imo

in my experience, it tends to be college with fewer course offerings, lower accreditation standards, and abysmally more-lax employment requirements. you can still get top-quality profs in cc, but their bottom-of-the-barrel can be as bad as "the provost's cousin who got his ged last year is teaching accounting full time"

yeah it's really sad and pathetic. Americans really, really, really need someone to lord over and feel superior too. I went to a dumb state university and my job prospects are no better then any of my friends who went to community college. Except they saved a ton of money and even got to live at home if they wanted since the CC's are usually close to home. Unless the person interviewing you attended the university you went too, or it's one of the big well-known Ivys no one gives a poo poo where you got your degree, Bumfuck State University is the same as Bumfuck Community College to some rear end in a top hat in HR who's from 4 states over anyway.

Their education seemed to be about as good as any other college or university. In this poo poo economy anyone going to CC's is the loving smart one, but logic doesn't really factor in to Americans need to be smug assholes.
