The Academy of Art University

I am studying Computer Arts (New Media) and as all the students that have taken the INTERACTIVE DESIGN 1 class with an Instructor called Dan Eriksson everyone hates him. Moreover the shock that I got was when my friend told me he was taking a class called INTERACTIVE MEDIA 1 (different than interactive design) the Instructor Dan Eriksson WAS TAKING the same class with him. And the funny part is that he coulnd't keep up with the class. BUT!!! the worst part is that he himself is teaching the same class in two sections. How would you feel if your instructor was teaching you let's say FLASH MX but he is taking a class on FLASH MX from another instructor and getting a hard time trying to figure out what is going on???

you decide how bad it is...I personally don't have anything against our college and I have to admit that there are some really nice instructors who know a lot of things and are worth of my money. But there are some special cases that makes this college have a nasty reputation among students.

I am at my second semester online at AAU and I am planning on dropping out of this school once the semester is over. I feel this school doesn't really care about the students they want your money and they want to put you deep in debt. My first semester they lost my transcripts twice and now in my current semester they said my financial aid and my loans wouldn't cover all of my classes and that I would have to drop one even though I was just taking 4 classes since they were required for me to take since I am on academic probation. Both my advisor and financial aid office at this school have not been at all helpful. I have been crying all weekend long trying to figure how i am going to pay for my supplies and how I am going to pay for my loans at the end. This is a stressful disorganized school that has left me feeling unhappy and bitter and I cannot wait to finish the semester so I can move on to a better local school in my neighborhood.
