My instructor Kat Azimi is extremely knowledgeable, helpful and very straightforward. She cares and wants everyone to succeed! Her classes not only help you understand the material you need to know for the state exam, but she also gives real life examples, answers all your questions and provides helpful tips on how to pass the exam at first attempt and jump right into the real estate world. This course is definitely worth your time and money and of a great value comparing to online only courses. Take it with Kat and you won't be disappointed.

I…read moreprobably could have done the self-guided courses, but I wanted to be in a classroom environment where the instructor would describe real-world scenarios in conjunction with the material that needed to be learned. Kat did not disappoint in that regard. She was incredibly thorough, knowledgeable and provided a wealth of information and examples to help reinforce the material. It was also nice to be in the classroom environment in order to hear questions other people asked that you didn't necessarily think of. Because of the in-person classes taught by Kat, I was able to complete the required hours needed to take the CA Real Estate Practice, Principles, and Finance classes and pass each course exam on the first try. I would recommend taking this class, and with Kat if you're in San Diego.

DO NOT GO TO THIS LOCATION!!!…read more I paid over $1000 for a GRE prep course and they completely messed everything up. They told me that 9 people were in the class, turned out to be 15. Also, a few of them were ridiculously...ungifted...and made the class unbearably slow for the rest of us. First problem: They did not give me online access to the practice tests which was a guaranteed part of the course. I set aside 4 hours to complete them and then couldn't get to the site! I contacted THREE phone numbers to try and get this resolved, and no one answered. I finally got a call back the next day and was granted access. However, I had no time and had to rush through the test, therefore getting a pretty low scores that was not reflective of my ability. THEN it told me that I would have to pay an additional fee to get my essay graded. No thank you, I said, and skipped that part of the test. Turned out, essay grading was supposed to be included in the price of the course. All the other students got theirs graded and I just missed out and didn't get that feedback. Called back again and they "fixed" the problem. Then my instructor mysteriously didn't get my score report on the 1st test so she couldn't go over my strengths and weaknesses with me. She told me that she would figure out what was going on and would go over it with me the next week. However, we were supposed to take the second test by the next class. How was I supposed to take the second test without getting feedback on the first? When the instructor finally went over my test with me, she decided to go over everyone's SECOND scores before she went over my first score - I therefore had to wait until long after the class had ended to get my first score back...when everyone else already had their second. I fell so far behind that I didn't take the next 3 progress tests. When I complained about this, I was offered no sort of compensation. They did not fulfill their contractual obligations and the only thing I was told was that I could take the course again if I was disatisfied. Well, yes...because I totally have that much free time on my hands between college, work, and applying to internships. I ended up buying a Kaplan book and scoring above the 90th percentile on both the quantitative and verbal parts of the GRE. I'm not sure if every location is as bad as this one - but it was bad. And their customer service was horrible. The instruction was ok - but overall I felt it was a waste of time. We would spend 5 minutes on 1 question to make sure that everyone understood - really you can only spend about a minute on each question when you take the test.

First, let me express my sincere gratitude to Clarissa Constantine for her individualized attention…read moreto my son's needs. He is a gifted student, which she recognized, and therefore focused her efforts with him on polishing his test taking skills. With just 3 hours of personal tutoring, which is a very reasonable investment of time and money, his practice ACT scores rose to his goal level. He ended up in the 99+%, with three of the four sections a perfect 36. Because he was enrolled (even in private tutoring), he had access to workbooks, practice tests and scoring summaries. Now, the downside. My son was initially signed up for a group class which was canceled. The website (run by the national PR), is very buggy and difficult. Even my hubby, with a CS degree from Cal, couldn't figure it out. I had to call for help A LOT. Zach took my calls, helped me out, organized the tutoring, and ended up saving me a lot of money. But, it was not without some pain and frustration. In the end, my son made his goal score, I saved money over the group class fee, and my son had access to all the tools he needed for self study. However, the benefits of those 3 private tutoring hours were tremendous. I highly recommend this individualized approach, which both allowed him to have free time to be a kid and reach his lofty ACT goals.

I have no patience for the disorganized, and my interaction with UCSD's Staff Association led me to…read morebelieve they are disorganized, not in all respects, but at least in regard to their staff scholarships. I would give their events a much higher rating. I have had a great time at the staff picnic the past two years and the UCSD Idol competition is a great, fun idea. However, more important than the events, they offer staff scholarships to their members. The events coupled with the scholarships, I'd give them 5 stars easy, but my recent experience with them forces me to give them 2. I joined the UCSD Staff Association as a requirement to apply for a scholarship. The scholarship form clearly states: "The application deadline is Wednesday, June 27, 2008 at 4:30 p.m. Late applications will not be accepted." I called them the day before the deadline to see if I could drop off my application in person, instead of relying on campus mail. I was told the deadline had already passed - a month ago! I faxed my application, along with all required documents, and the documentation with the 06/27 deadline to them, and was told "Sorry, we cannot make any exceptions to the deadline. Somehow you found an older application online with the old deadline." Apparently, they recently changed the person who heads the scholarship program, and the form I was using was put out there by the old program officer. BUT I found the application on THEIR website! They should have taken it down, or made sure they changed the date on everything. I found two forms with the 06/27 deadline, and not one with the updated deadline! Regardless of the deadline, they SHOULD HAVE accepted my application, since it was their oversight. This scholarship is only offered once a year, and instead of making an exception, they said "You can always apply next year."

I just spent the last 2 years at this fine institution. IR/PS gets 5 stars for one simple reason:…read morethose 2 years have been two of the best years of my life (so far). Why? 1. I learned a lot. Before IR/PS, statistics were foreign to me and I had no idea what econometrics was. Now I (somewhat) know what a confidence interval is, and am familiar with regressions. Woo hoo. Thanks to IR/PS, I know what a public good is, and am familiar with the principal-agent relationship. Crucial stuff right? I should know what a debit/credit is, but frankly, the accounting professor sucks big time, so I still don't know what the hell that is all about. Oh well, nothing is perfect. 2. I partied a lot. Sure, I did a fair amount in undergrad, but i had plenty of opportunities to socialize while at IR/PS as well (just look at all the yelp reviews I've written the last 18 months to get an idea). I'll tell you this much: us grad students know how to drink and party as well as any undergrads. Well ok, definitely compared to UCSD undergrads. Hmm, yeah.. That only means we partied more than once a quarter. Just take my word for it- we found ways to have fun. At least those of us who didn't get caught up in the competitive bullshit. 3. The professors. They're all bright, most helpful, and many friendly. There are only a couple that I'd deem subpar (simply due to super boring lectures. one exception is aforementioned accounting professor, who wasn't boring, but sketchy as can be). 4. Last and most definitely not least: my classmates. The cool thing about this program is it attracts such a wide variety of people. You have us management people, who have a curriculum akin to a MBA program, the econ people who love quantitative crap apparently, and the non-profit people who are a lot more noble and optimistic than I am. Oh, and the politics and policy people. Not sure how to describe them (guess my generalizing skills are lacking tonight). Anyway, all these different groups are brought together at IR/PS. Result is an eclectic group of cool ass mofos. I can't think of any classmate who didn't have at least a couple interesting life stories. And I know I'm going to miss them all when i say adios to San Diego. Well besides the half that will end up in DC with me. So if you want to have an enriching two years and are interested in international relations, I strongly recommend going to IR/PS.

Fantastic graduate education for sure. Professors have impeccable academic and applied ("real…read moreworld") credentials. Very rigorous course load; 98 credits in 2 years, which is more than twice the load you'll get at GW's Elliot school and similar East Coast programs. In short you come out of the program with a superior skill set and knowledge base that puts you on par with any graduate from SEPA, SAIS or the Kennedy School. So why 4 instead of 5 stars? Over emphasis on the management aspect. Curriculum wise this is not a bad thing, however the majority of career services alumni connections are in the private/consulting sectors. I worry about IR/PS's ability to compete in the job market with the big name east coast schools in the realm of foreign policy, human rights, civil society, think tank work, etc. Name recognition. It's an unfortunate aspect to being located in SoCal, but the local invites good collaborations with Mex and Pacific based institutions (ie. US-Mex center, Center on Pacific Economies, etc.) A few things you should know: Quantitative heavy work load, if this turns you off (it shouldn't in this field) then look elsewhere. Language requirement is rather lax. Limited field work in the area (internships, volunteer work etc.) Alumni connections seem to be west coast oriented. So, go to this school if: You love the Pacific Rim, love quantitative work, want an exceptional degree, want to enjoy a diverse student body (interest wise/country of origin wise), love the So-Cal sun. Just don't expect a job to be waiting for you at the Council on Foreign Relations upon graduation...though you will have the necessary training.

He spent 1.5 hours each time talking about his wife and showing my daughter Photos of his vacations. He also told us he was fired from his teaching job for punching a student. After that we were only able to schedule tutors virtually because no one was available in our area. The tutors we're going to school and working so the times were very inconvenient. We used 16 hours of tutoring. They charged me for the three hours of the tutor that wasted our time. We had agreed to 36 hours in our contract. Don't waste your $$$$! There are local tutors that charge $25-50 an hour in person tutoring at your convenience not at the convenience of students with limited time or with bad teachers!

First off, Maureen is the best! She helped me to identify my strengths and rectify my weaknesses…read morefor the MBE, essays, and the performance test. I signed up for the 1-on-1 sessions with Maureen in addition to the "mastering" set of zoom group classes, and I also got her PT, essay, and MBE books. The books were half as thick as the standard prep materials but chock full of templates and examples, all of which help you to figure out what the examiners are looking for! The "mastering" group classes are on zoom, and include mastering essays, mastering CA pt, and mbe minutiae. These were definitely worth it to get acquainted with the different approaches to certain topics, and common MBE slip ups. As for the 1-on-1 sessions, some weeks included more essay practice, and some weeks had more PT practice, but all of it is tailored to you. MBE practice is constant throughout the whole prep, and the amount of practice sets will ramp up once the first two weeks or so has passed. The workload can be mid to high intensity depending on the schedule you adopt, but overall as long as you follow the initial schedule Maureen provides you with it will definitely be manageable. Also she keeps it real with you. If you ask her if she feels whether or not you'll pass she will be straight up with you to let you know where you stand. And if something popped up like you had to go to the doctor or something she will work with you to reschedule a session. Last note, the black letter law quicksheets are a lifesaver when it comes to memorizing the rules!

I wish I could give this place a higher rating as Maureen MacManus is knowledgeable in her method and approach in teaching. It is also evident that she tries to stay up-to-date with the latest information for the CA Bar. As background information, I signed up for the 10-pack graded essays and the "Mastering Essays" class. In the "Mastering" class, she thoroughly goes over an essay and her method of how to approach it from start to finish. She also provides access to old recordings of other essays she has gone over as she chooses different essays to review each bar cycle. The website is a bit disorganized and hard to find specific things. The recordings are not labeled to let you know which essay is being covered so you just have to click through them. With the already limited time I have, this is a bit frustrating. My biggest gripe is the turnaround time for the essays. While Maureen does provide meaningful and detailed feedback, I have had to follow up on an essay that I submitted two weeks ago. This is an inconvenience as the test is fast-approaching, and it would be helpful to know what I can change and practice this approach rather than practice it incorrectly several times. Moreover, I did not even receive an apology for this. I just got a "here is your essay" message. From the comments and date stamp on my essay, it looks like my esssay was graded within a week. So I assume it was just lost among other assignments to be returned, but I find that this is still inexcusable. I think I would be forgiving if I was at least given an apology instead of a short email.
