They just want you to become self-efficient programmer. Coding Dojo boot camp is one of the best schools in Seattle in my opinion. I put 5 stars because by attending this school I could make decent clone of one of the popular website and right now I capable to build app in MEAN stack.

I was previously in the Marine Corps before attending Coding Dojo with a background in Accounting and Diplomatic Security and very basic HTML/CSS knowledge. Immediately we knew the school would require a lot of attention, time sacrifice, and time management. Most days would range easily putting in 12 hour days, 5-7 days a week. I didn't fully know what world I would be getting myself into but I knew from dabbling with Code Academy and enjoying it, that I wanted to become a full-time Programmer. The instructors/staff are incredibly nice and helpful. The instructors and TA's are caring and patient; they do their best to help you understand the material. Bending over backwards and sitting with you for as long as needed to help you understand what you're doing. I really appreciated when they would record the lectures and demonstrations so I can go back on the material for live examples and code with the videos. I have struggled a lot during the school but I see it as constant room for growth and that there is a lot to be learned in Programming and you shouldn't give up. Multiple assignments and class work a day plus algorithms will feel heavy and challenging. But I believe with struggle comes strength and some points you'll question it all. And learning and soaking in the material feels quick but you'll soon realize you know more than you give yourself credit for. The implementation of the "20-minute rule" for working on your own, then asking a TA is a great push to becoming a self-sufficient developer. Students will grow to need less supervision and how to find the answers instead of having the answers given to them. Coding Dojo helped give me the skills and understanding for walking into the massive realm of web/software development and that there is much more to be learned, and in many different languages. And if I wanted to learn a different language, it's doable. It makes me eager to continually and constantly learn as an aspiring self-sufficient developer."

Very well organized day which left a favorable impression. Then the epic C19 pandemic happened which essentially robbed him of the latter half of his junior year and all of his senior year of high school. The joys of the college application process. Fast forward to 2021: The Homie accepted his DigiPen offer. Yesterday evening I had a 75 minute Zoom meeting for DigiPen parents. This morning (8/25/21), I dropped him off on campus for orientation. His first semester starts next Monday 8/30/21. I am excited about the next chapter of him starting college, but tempered and grounded in reality. Following his dream will be full of challenges with a rigorous curriculum. Also tuition is exorbitant! His commute between home and campus is not great. I will start with a three star post with a bonus one for pandemic challenges. A future updated post will be made depending on the his personal journey. In the meantime this parent and UW-Seattle grad will celebrate his start at DigiPen, go Dragons!

I am going to challenge the review left by Leilani who is clearly a disgruntled parent. Remember…read morefolks, there are always two sides of the story and I along with SO MANY people would defend Nikki. The experience and skills Nikki shares with students is unrivaled. Her reputation is known throughout that industry and she is an excellent instructor. Nikki and her program has been recognized countless times in newspaper and online articles! And she's taken on jobs and worked on animals that other vet tech's can only dream of! Don't let the skewed opinion of one determine your perspective of the program and its instructor. If you learned the details of the situation that this parent is so miffed about, you might see a clearer picture. And don't forget, teachers are there to do a job and enforce the rules. How much of that situation does Leilani's daughter own? Guess we'll never know... Sno-Isle is an awesome technical high school regardless of the negative opinions of a few. They get what they put into their education and most regret not taking full advantage of the opportunities while they were enrolled. I've heard feedback, first-hand from former students. Who am I you ask? I am a former student of the automotive program I now teach...at Sno-Isle TECH Skills Center!

The first issue I had was the phones kept ringing like no one wanted to answer them. Then they complained when they had to answer them. I set up multiple appts to get into a consular only to show up and the person wasn't there. Or because I was a mid 30 yr old at the time requested to leave because they thought I was out of place. After multiple attempts I finally got thru to the consular. They began to belittle my choices of technical degrees and started pushing them like it was a business. I'm sorry but since when do you have say in what I can and can not take? That would be their college pushing classes like a business instead of what the student wants to take. I had tons of credits from a couple other colleges and they said none of them would transfer in and I'd have to start fresh. Another money gimmick grab by the college. I had a clutter fuck mess issue when trying to take the placement test for english/math. I wondered over paid and came over to the testing center and I had set up an appt with them. The rep had belittled me and challenged me for even being there and complained about it. Twice I had to wonder back to the consular to inform them of the issue and he had to come over and yell at her to let me take it. That was another red flag. I had completed thru lvl 250 at bellevue college and their test was so poorly constructed that they said I would need remedial classes because they were not sure. Okay that's a red flag. I completed thru 98 (at the time) for math at bc and they said I'd have to start in remedial classes. I know I scored high on their test but something was fishy about it when they tried to place me in remedial classes. Yea that boosts my confidence as a could be student. As I tried to become an active student by the third red flag issue I decided to go to bellevue college. The rep said I needed to collect a ton of paper work so I did and came back. I repeatedly got requested to leave because my age deemed me "Out of place" and after the second time I told them look I'm trying to apply if you people do not want me here I shall not attend. You lost a could of been student that day. Over the years I have taken certificate classes/courses and never had this much of an issue with their college. But this was also back when it was a technical school not a college. When rtc became a college that's when it all changed into a clutter f* mess. Do not attend here. I price compared with bc and bc is about 30% cheaper than rtc. Don't believe me? Do the math. Parking is a bit of an issue with the campus. There's never enough parking and when I did my technical classes earlier in life parking was always full. I had to neighborhood park at your own risk and walk over or park at far end of camapus and walk over to the class area.

I'll start off by sharing a positive experience I had at The Studio Seattle, which was getting to…read morelearn from Hailey Henderson. Hailey is as excellent of an instructor as she is an actor. She clearly loves teaching and is incredibly knowledgeable about acting theory and applications. Hailey has high expectations for her learners and is also deeply compassionate, a perfect combination for creating an effective learning environment. I am immensely grateful to have been able to learn with her. Hailey is the primary instructor for The Studio Seattle, whereas Andrew Tsao is the artistic director and founder. Andrew was going to cover the last several weeks of classes in my Acting Foundations 2 class series, and prior to this he co-taught a class with Hailey. In this class, Andrew had us participate in exercises where we would be improvising interactions with a scene partner. These scenes were meant to be highly realistic- we were playing ourselves and had similar relationships to each other as we do in real life. Our objectives and given circumstances were given to us individually, without our scene partner's (or the class's) knowledge. In one scene, Andrew had one of our male classmates play the role of a sexual predator towards not one, but two of our classmates. When his scene partner responded to his unwanted advances authentically, by attempting to distract the perpetrator and leave, Andrew told her that she was responding incorrectly and that should/would in fact "fight". He also told her that her "avoidance" would be a hindrance to her as an actor. In another scene, part of the given circumstances was that one of my classmates had had an abortion. I followed up with Andrew expressing my concern that not one, but two extremely sensitive topics, particularly for women, were chosen for these exercises. I stated that that the nature of the exercises required us to be ourselves, thereby increasing the level of sensitivity and creating a high potentiality for trauma/re-traumatization. I acknowledged that while actors do work with difficult content, we get to choose and consent to this, which was not an option in this situation (since we did not know our scene partner's backgrounds or objectives). I stated my expectation that content will be more thoughtfully chosen for these exercises moving forward and that learners be made more fully aware of their options. Andrew's initial response acknowledged that he could have been more thoughtful in ensuring everyone was aware that they could opt out of the exercises. He did not address my concerns over the nature of the content itself, other than implying that more experienced actors would have been fine with the content (I have since heard from multiple other acting instructors that this is not at all the case). I responded by saying that I appreciated his effort to improve transparency around opting out of exercises moving forward. I again stated my concern over the content itself, particularly as it relates to women, and expressed skepticism that more experienced actors would have been fine with the content. Overall, I felt like my concerns were dismissed. Andrew responded by disinviting me to continue attending classes at The Studio Seattle. Based on my experience, I'm of the opinion that Andrew Tsao is not interested in feedback as it relates to the safety of his students, particularly women. For this reason, I would caution any woman/female person against taking classes at The Studio Seattle.
