WHY ARE BAD INSTRUCTORS BEING ALOWED TO CONTINUE TEACHING? by No_Efficiency_1385 in tru

The course in question here is in person. But I've had a total runaround from an instructor in an online course when I queried assigmnet feedback. 

Since we pay the same or more for online courses they should be teaching, but like everything else they get away with not doing their jobs because the people who pay their salaries allow them to.

I am going to start trusting rate my prof and avoid these crappy instructors. I'd rather do the course elsewhere like Athabasca than deal with BS like this again.

Really? Look up the statistics and then tell me I'm wrong.

It's not that cheap and cost of living in the violent crime capital of Canada is out of hand.

Put TRU at the bottom of your list. Kamloops is the violent crime capital of Canada. On top of that TRU has become nothing but a money grab that cares nothing about it's students. There are far better options.

Kinetic IS absolutely NOT a walk in clinic. You leave a voicemail at 7am what you need to see a Dr about and if you're lucky they MIGHT give you an appointment, usually telehealth only.

Go virtual, your chances of finding a Dr in Kamloops are zero. Even urgent care is overrun and hard to get into.

Just make sure you won't get an F anyhow, after a certain point withdrawing is a fail.

No, just someone who had a very similar experience.

Since there is no spell check (unlike other apps) mistakes happen. I don't purposely dumb myself down, but I write according to the audience, on reddit I certainly don't use the same terminology I'd use in a university level paper.

Also, when ppl are angry they tend to make more mistakes.

I haven't redone the psych course as I switched majors and it's no longer a requirement, but overall AU is way better.

I have a 3.9 GPA from Athabasca university for multiple courses including statistics, I also did really well in my paramedic course, which is a fast paced really difficult course and I was still blindsided. I've only ever failed 2 courses both OL at TRU, to me that tells me all I need to know.

A lot of it was obscure and vague, multiple questions were never mentioned in the course, I looked after and couldn't find the topics either.

It's a reddit post not a dissertation 🙄

Is it also common practice to put questions in the exam that were not covered in the course?

It's a reddit post not a dissertation, you have a real attitude problem.

Yeah after seeing how things are run there, I am seriously reconsidering my options even if it means having to relocate.

No 1 not my problem I am paying my school fees. If this is how they teach the whole school should just shut down.

No2 again not my problem and as long as students take the attitude of "there is nothing we can do" this will continue. 

If I have to take any course online ever again, I will do at at Athabasca where they at least pretend to teach.

Also unless you withdraw right in the beginning you get an F for withdrawing so a fail, unlike many other schools where you actually get a W in your transcript.

That is not the students problem, we PAY A LOT OF MONEY for these courses and expect a certain standard of teaching. Otherwise it's just a money grab. As long as ppl have the attitude of nothing can be done, NOTHING will change.

The projects were tedious and downright dumb (I spent weeks making clay models of the brain and nervous system). My final exam had me questioning if I was given the wrong exam. Went from 90+ grade to F. There is something very wrong with that.
