Academic Quality and Integrity…read more The objectives/learning outcomes for each part of the course were clear, precise and specific. No, there is no course [assignment] calendar, no written instructions for assignments to refer to for clarification (all instructions for assignments are through word of mouth), and no grading rubrics or definitive timeframes for when assignments are due. Each assignment is assigned verbally in class, and students are expected to remember what it is with no written instructions, which is very stressful. Preparation is key to obtaining success here. Also, expecting the unexpected and having a willingness to be flexible. The course syllabus does not provide documentation of the assignments for each week like a typical syllabus would or even posted assignments or expectations in the populi app. Homework is assigned sporadically and it seems "made up" as you go. The required tests and quizzes accurately measured my attainment of these learning outcomes. No, the quizzes (assignments) did not accurately measure my attainment of the learning outcomes, because I took stacks of notes throughout my time at the school and made hundreds of flashcards of key terms, etc., but they never helped when it came down to the quizzes, because the multiple choice questions were unique to the book (when there was no access to the reading material), contained grammatical errors that impaired comprehension of the questions, not receiving full credit for correct answers (marked incorrectly), no follow up on the correct answers to the questions, and given grades didn't earn (full credit) with no assertion to the correct answers of the questions. These did not evaluate performance fairly. The study guides were copied and pasted with an identical test to memorize the test questions and answers. I would recommend my instructor as someone who helped me learn. No, I would not recommend Mrs. Brown as an instructor. I only feel as if I learned from my her as far as the lectures and hands on skills were concerned, but the lectures, most times, did not transfer to the course assignments, quizzes, and tests, because the quizzes and tests were strictly formatted to the book, and we would have to go through the book with a fined tooth comb (open book quizzes) to find the correct answer, that was not given during the lecture. I feel as if I learned from my instructor most regarding the hands-on skills such as taking vital signs, EKG lead placement, blood draws (syringe, butterfly, and venipuncture), urinalysis (UA), suture removal, 2 mL injections, entering patient information in an electronic management system utilizing billing and coding functions, and casting and cast removal. The courses were well-organized, logical, and consistent. No, only as far as the book (chapter sequence and content), slides/lectures, and critical thinking questions were concerned, which were all a part of the Kinn's the Medical Assistant curriculum. The other instructional materials were also the only organized, logical, and consistent part of the courses. These included the PDR (Physicians' Desk Reference) book, ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases) Code book, and CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) Code book. The online/threaded discussions contributed to my learning. No, and they, along with answering the critical thinking chapter questions, were never graded or followed up on by the instructor which required an initial discussion post and three peer responses. The instructor demonstrated in-depth knowledge of the subject. Yes, but that knowledge did not translate to the quizzes, based out of the book, and to any of the tests, unless an exact study guide was gone over in class (rote memorization of the answers). The instructor used various instructional methods to reach the course objectives, such as group discussions and individual presentations. Yes, we had many discussions about medical situations or content that was taught from the book that turned into very specific, but not entirely helpful or educational rhetoric was offered as most discussions got off topic about specific medical procedures in the student's lives. We did individual presentations on medical procedures, used "Canva", "PowerPoint", or other resources to create assignments, mock interviews, mock pharmacy/prescription labs, suture removal on fake skin, casting, use of a mock electronic health record, and a "field trip" to a medical center in which we made observations about the history of nurses and had an appropriate corresponding assignment in which we received appropriate feedback. Would you recommend this school or course(s) to a prospective student? No, I would not recommend this school to any student. This school was so problematic, I wouldn't recommend anyone to attend it. I just wanted to complete the academic part of my education and my externship and forget about all the drama and unprofessionalism

KC swim academy is the swim lesson division of Team Unify- a club swim team. During the summer…read morethey offer swim camps M-Th x 2 weeks 30min each. During the school year they have weekly lessons on Sunday. Group lessons are $22 per lesson, and there are a max of 4 kids (but most of the time my kids were in groups of 2 or 3) also if there were 4 kids they usually had 2 instructors per group for the younger kids. I really like the fact that they did not use any swim 'backpacks' like the lessons we had at the YMCA. Suzanne is the director and is so nice and helpful. Most of the instructors are high school kids that swim on the team. They have recently added infant survival (and I believe it is one of the few places in the city that offers it). If you have an infant - I would highly recommend these lessons. They will be an expert swimmer by 3. If you kids are toddlers, you might consider private lessons first. I found we got a lot more out of the group lessons after a few private ones first. We had our lessons at the Shawnee Mission East HS pool, but I think they offer them at a few others during the summer. This is a very well run group and if you have a kid that swims and you want to improve his stroke, they'll do a great job.
