A couple weeks after I turned 17, I decided to forgo my senior year at Trenton High School, and…read moreinstead I spent my senior year in the US Navy avionics program learning how to become an electronics technician in the naval aviation field. After my four years up, I went straight to Henry Ford College and began studying Physics, Psychology, Philosophy and Music, eventually earning a degree in Liberal Arts. Because all of the teachers there are top notch and highly recruited by many other prestigious schools, HFC administrators do a fantastic job of curating these world-class level professors whom share a passion for their subject matter and for teaching that subject matter to everyone willing to learn. My all-time favorite teacher, from all of my years in public school, and my time in Naval schools and even my time at UofM AA included, was the incomparable Peter Putnam at HFC. Mr. Putnam normally taught any and every English class that he could, and likewise I took every single class that I could with Mr. Putnam, who had a massive impact on my life and I owe him a tremendous debt of gratitude. Had it not been for my phenomenal education at HFC, I would not have earned an academic scholarship to the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, which would further my education and expanded my sense of who I was and more importantly, who I could become. The common latin phrase: "Scientia potentia est" which means "Knowledge Is Power" is a maxim that I have witnessed proven in my life, myriad times, and HFC helped send me on that path and I will be forever indebted to institution and my specific teachers. Dr. Azar was a treasure as well, and he also altered the direction of my life, again, for tremendous benefit to me, and eventually for my children as well. There are many different teachers & professors there that I could espouse, yet HFC is the organization that recruits these special teachers and deserves credit for creating a phenomenal center for learning. I cannot overstate what a superlative institution HFC is. They were the driving factor that helped me earn an Academic scholarship at University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, and not only will I be forever grateful, but there were many classes at HFC that were superior to UofM. I bleed Maize & Blue, through & through, but HFC made that dream possible. While I was at HFC, I felt that I should give back somehow, and they quickly set me up with their Special Needs department and began giving me as many struggling students that they could and I learned that I love tutoring and that I am exceptional at doing it. Again, I have to thank HFC, for revealing my character. I simply cannot recommend HFC highly enough, anyone who is even remotely considering it, just sign up and begin your world class education. Knowledge is power

I went to this school in the early 80's. My experience was not good. I had a few very bad…read moreexperiences with the professors here. In one case I was taking an art class and apparently the teacher did not like the direction of my drawing, so instead of telling me what I should do, he took my paper and pencil away from me and started doing it himself. After another bad experience in another art class I basically quit and never really did art again after that, which is sad because I really enjoyed it. Then in psychology class that I took, I had a teacher who decided that instead of teaching us about psychology, he was going to teach us about the anatomy of the brain. We spent the entire class learning about the anatomy of the brain and then towards the end of the semester, he announced that instead of a final exam, there would be a class and if we showed up we passed and we didn't I guess we did not pass. Well on the last day of class the teacher did not show up. So I guess the school just did some kind of average of our previous test scores for that class. Then in a sociology class I had a teacher who kept insisting that he was going to politicize us. We also had an older senior classmate in this class which I personally found refreshing, but the teacher treated this classmate terribly and I felt really bad for him. Thankfully I think that schools have progressed beyond this and now treat older students much better than that. I'm sure this school has improved over the years, so I wouldn't necessarily consider my review to be very relevant for today, however, I'm adding it as a cautionary tale for people who may accept improper teaching methods and not question it or decide to find a better teacher or class. Also, I've been holding this in a long time and I still think about it from time to time and how my future could have been different if my experience had been better or if I found a better way to handle it. Sadly, the school counselors during this time period were not very helpful either.

The English Department is dreadfully inadequate. I just received my degree in English in December…read moreof 2025 and my experience with the professors and Chair of the English department could only be described as dreadful. A full third of my professors had no business teaching reading to second graders let alone being a professor at the University level. Disorganized, poor to non-existent teaching skills, gross ignorance and a propensity to teach Gender, Sexuality, and women's studies class instead of an English class. Furthermore, I was told by the Chair of the English Department, Jaime Goodrich, that it was acceptable for a Wayne State professor to ascribe to flat earth ideology as long as they weren't teaching science. Overall, the quality of the English Department is subpar and a disgrace to the entire concept of education.

I was working towards my Master's in finance but opted to switch to another school. I even had a prof that made you request to see the grades results of your tests. Why would you need to attempt to conceal your grading if you are not being dishonest. When I requested to see my graded exam, for the feedback on some of the questions he simply wrote "incorrect". Given this was a math class it should be very easy to provide feedback as to what was incorrect. I didn't have a single professor who came anywhere near justifying the amount of money I was shelling out for tuition. When I withdrew from the course and the school owed me a partial refund of my tuition it was like pulling teeth to get my money back. I had to call and email three times and each time I was told it takes a week for them to process refunds from the time there is a positive balance and asked to wait another week (this was several weeks after the positive balance occurred). I had to pester them to actually have them request for the appropriate department to process the refund.

I've been going to Baker College in Allen Park since Fall of 2005. I know what you're thinking…read more.. Why don't you have a degree and a real job and less time to Yelp? Well, I didn't play my cards right my first two semesters. I was stuck in high school girl mentality: boys! texting! ipods! not doing homework! So, that bit me in the ass and I had to drop out during my second semester. When I started back up, I had a better mentality and subsequently got better grades. I started back up going half time but I'm finally going full time to get this damn degree and I've really enjoyed my time there. Baker College is located on Outer Drive, near the Fairlane Green shopping center. It has expanded since I first started. The older building has two levels along with the administrative offices (first floor,) the library and Learning Center (both on the second floor) and some classrooms. The newer building, which has three floors, has the student center, bookstore, and cafeteria along with many classrooms. The parking lot has expanded but you have to get there early to get a good spot. Rumor is that enrollment doubled from last quarter, so it makes sense to get there early. I attend night classes for a business degree in marketing. The classes run from 6pm until 9:40pm with a 20-minute break in there somewhere, depending on which classroom you're in. Baker runs in 4 quarters, not 2 semesters. Each quarter is 10 weeks long, so consider this accelerated learning. By the time you remember what classroom you're in that night, you're taking the final. Each credit hour costs $195 at Baker, whereas U of M Dearborn charges $339.25 and HFCC costs $130.00 for non-residents. So, basically, you're paying somewhere in between to go to Baker. I've noticed that my classes generally don't have midterm exams, so that's a plus. I find most classes going toward my Associates degree are pretty easy, but that could be because I've only taken 100 and 200 level classes. Baker is NOT a school you go to before you transfer to a university. This is really important to include in this review, because there's a common misconception that Baker is similar to a community college. Their credits, in my experience, do not transfer very well. You go to Baker to get a Baker degree. Baker is tough on attendance. From their attendance policy: The student will be administratively withdrawn for excessive absenteeism if any of the following criteria are met: The student is absent for the first week of the course. The student is absent for two consecutive weeks. The student is absent for more than 40% of the course. So basically, you have to show up at Baker to get credit unlike many universities. The staff in all of the offices tend to be very helpful and friendly. The cafeteria staff are students and usually in good spirits. The students themselves tend to be very easy-going and friendly too. It's a close-knit school without much elitism. These are hard-working people trying to get career degrees and are typically really eager to talk to other people. The instructors I've had over the past few years have been really great. Mostly every teacher I've had is employed outside of Baker doing what they're teaching. It makes it so much more worthwhile when an instructor can put terms into real-world experiences for students. It seems all the instructors at Baker are pretty laid back when it comes to their teaching style, which is nice. I really enjoy learning here. So, I've been going to Baker for a few years now and I've seen it develop into a pretty awesome campus.

It doesn't matter if you've already taken math, you have to transfer your credits or prove that you can do the math. As far as tuition goes, it has gone up since you wrote your review in 2008. It is now $210 per credit, but this is disclosed when you sign up for classes. It's not like they hoodwink you into coming to school here..it's your CHOICE. Tuition may be higher here than most colleges, but it is an accelerated school. We only go 10 weeks while most go 16. I'll pay the extra money to get my degree quicker. Lastly, some of the health programs are limited enrollment because there is a shortage of clinical externship sites available to the school. The externship is required by the college to graduate. It isn't Baker's fault if employers choose not to work with them. I myself am in a limited enrollment program. 67 applied and I got in. Because we have limited clinical sites, I have to move out to the Jackson area to finish. If you are serious about school, you will do what it takes. Also, if you do your work, get great grades and come to every class, chances are you will make it into your program.

Just watched a commercial for WCCCD HVAC program and I had to post my experience. First of all I…read moreonly needed two classes to complete the program with a 3,8 GPA. Everyone who was close to graduation were to meet with the person that was over the HVAC program to determine what classes would be available to allow us to graduate by the Winter seamster. When the schedule was released the two classes I needed were available at the same time, at two different campus. Nevertheless I was trying to break into a new career, I ran out of time and money and didn't get my degree. As for the HVAC program, the classes were offer at three campuses, and WCCCD has a lot of good equipment to learn on. But WCCCD only have a couple of highly qualified instructors that are great in the classroom and the lab. In my option the other HVAC instructors fail short of my expectations. Most of the instructors couldn't turn on a heating or AC unit. The program looks good on paper but If you want a better education facility I highly recommend Washanaw Community College HVAC program.

For starters, my girlfriend had never been out of the country prior to this visit, so she was instantly curious about this campus when we saw it nearby. Moreover, we were playing Pokemon Go the whole time and were excited about the multitude of new PokeStops available.

The buildings are stunning, and exude historical significance. Overall, I'd recommend visiting the University of Windsor campus to take in the beautiful scenery.
