Student/Alumnus Reviews of Schools for This Career and State
Pellissippi State Technical Community College • Knoxville, TN
Studying Network Engineering Certificate Program (completion in 2001)
• 7/9/2011
"I feel the school could have offered better job placement assistance. Contacting instructors and advisors is very difficult."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | no | There are much better institutions offering more services to students. The school no longer offers the program due to a lack of enrollment. |
| Program Reputation | 4 | Even though it is a technical community college, there isn't a well know program for the IT field. The institution appears to pride itself more in the non-technical fields. |
| Program Quality | 4 | The classes were not informative when compared to the examinations. Job placement programs with the college were non-existent. |
| Instruction | 7 | The instructor appeared to know the material well, but did not deliver it in an effective fashion. Class time was not well spent to ensure students were actually learning the material. |
| How Difficult | 5 | When compared to other classes the difficulty was not that much different. The workload was moderate to heavy depending on the material presented. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | The mix of lab and book exercises are well balanced. Lab exercises are geared to be directly related to real world experiences as opposed to textbook examples. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 1 | There was only one class time available for the program I was enrolled in. Time to make up for missed classes was not given. |
| Academic Facilities | 5 | The school has 24 hour library access. Labs are equipped with the minimal equipment, most of which is aging to the point of being non-functional. |
| Social Life | 2 | The school has no athletics program. Organized social events, parties, etc. are discouraged. |
| Placement Services | 3 | There is no job placement service available. Career services are available on a minimal basis for additional costs. |
| Alumni Network | 1 | There is no alumni program at the institution. Once you have completed the programs, there is no further assistance or programs available without re-enrollment. |
