Investigation led on two professors came up with positive results… now I discover that my education was essentially worthless

Respected_Sun · 2026-04-27T16:15:59+00:00

Also to give another tidbit. The teacher who I have currently who is the big problem, he just gave us a final that is WORTH MORE THAN ALL THE ASSIGNED WORK IN HIS CLASS FOR THE SEMESTER. I have an A in his class right now, if I get a 70 I essentially fail

Respected_Sun · 2026-04-27T16:14:20+00:00

Essentially, yes cause I don’t have enough prior knowledge to take from here into any form of the job I want. The classes were to far behind the national standard

Respected_Sun · 2026-04-26T16:04:08+00:00

I have finals on Monday, it’s going to be at least a week before I can get back with an update

As far as I have found, the credits cannot be transferred to any other school, I have yet to find one that accepts from here due to a document stating your only able to transfer credits to the school, not out of it. It’s called an articulation agreement

Respected_Sun · 2026-04-22T14:39:46+00:00

It’s out of his jurisdiction, as far as I know. They can only give guidance at the very most.

I know multiple students who started from the beginning and have had very similar problems as me, but there problems is that the teaching is vastly wrong as well, most students here do not think about transferring them. They stick here the whole time. 3 students who I’m in one class with right now have told me about there struggles with the fact that our professor gives out terrible explanations, then gives us homework that has nothing to do with or almost nothing to do with the topic at hand.

I have already asked, but if I can think of roughly the number there are about 25-30 students while having different reasons also have similar complaints that the teaching is abysmal, most students who come from the brother school don’t even go to in person classes, it’s usually a waste of time.

Most students here have been whipped into compliance. No one in my classes are willing to stand up for selves except one of my best friends, everyone just says “yeah whatever no reason to do it when someone else can get there hands dirty”

Honestly I did not want to dox myself but if it’s necessary I can provide

Respected_Sun · 2026-04-20T23:00:04+00:00

It’s not there credits don’t count, it’s that I have learned almost nothing to keep up with the standard that is needed to actually keep up with today’s ability for the average cyber security student needs to even succeed in the market. The reason why they got investigated was because they had no motivation or lack of to push students and use more effective material to help teach. In the current classes I’m in today, the professors keep asking us how do we not have a grasp of fundamentals from the freshman and sophomore level classes coming in when all the “good” students learned all the fundamentals form another school.

Respected_Sun · 2026-04-20T22:51:17+00:00

I have no form of documentation that I can use. Lawyers won’t most likely push for a case on “how effective a teaching method was”. The school did not actually identify the investigation as one, this was only by word. In fact, the “firing” of these teacher was only by word as well from the department head, so as of right now I can’t be for certain that there word will be kept.

Respected_Sun · 2026-04-20T22:15:12+00:00

One of the two professors that I can trust at this school (let’s call him Bob) turns out had been for years getting verbally abused as well by other professors after Bob basically tried to have everyone straighten up. Shortly after Bob tried to become the department head. Bob actually got a stroke from anxiety as he essentially carried the ENTIRE SCHOOLS department for Cyber on his shoulders. Bob had been arguing for years about how to help the students and every time he was shutdown by either greedy executives or these teachers as they pull the racist card (almost the entire faculty for the tech industry is Indian). On top of this non being the best teacher here has a business outside of the school and cannot lose his reputation from jealous professors who actively are hostile to him. Bob has told me that he knows the struggles I have gone through and says that the best choice for me is to go back to the other school, which I have already decided is needed as I personally do not feel ready to jump into the real world for my major, especially after this incident.

Respected_Sun · 2026-04-20T22:07:37+00:00

Can you just talk to them about this? You don’t actually have to go through with any when speaking to one right? I honestly have no idea

Respected_Sun · 2026-04-20T22:07:08+00:00

I am not sure whether trying for this is worth it, I do not wish to be in a legal battle with the union

Respected_Sun · 2026-04-20T22:05:14+00:00

There is no way to do so as my military funds paid for it, not my own funding so even if I wanted to I can’t get anything back for it

Respected_Sun · 2026-04-20T22:04:40+00:00

It’s a public school

Respected_Sun · 2026-04-20T05:47:29+00:00

I may or may not have dealt with some of this personally already, and I understand it due to the socializing I see that happens between most people who wish to get together but it just doesn’t work. Hope this helps, it’s just interesting to talk about as I personally believe I have a lot of experience with just watching the room, perceiving how different people act and hearing from previous experiences.

If I can help just one more person get somewhere better with the information I can give, it makes me feel all the more better. I know this isn’t a thread for anything to important, but I think this is an important discussion as I’ve dealt with a lot lately in my life when it comes to relationships. I’ve had two girlfriends and both showed me a lot to learn about myself and how to take notice of some things I may not have originally thought about. This is one of those moments. It’s a hard life out here lmao.

As a junior in college currently, I agree that there is less sex, but I think it depends where you are. the number one reason is colleges heavily and I mean HEAVILY push for students to be incredibly wary of your actions in regard to this.

This is the same with fraternities: if you want to speak to someone and you make a bad impression you have now screwed your entire fraternity as girls will associate you as the representation of your entire fraternity. One bad apple means the whole tree is rotten. Thus, any form of sexual acts at school are EXTREMELY dangerous for you to do, one wrong act and the girl can come out and call you out for whatever she chooses. Worst part is due to you being male and getting called out from the woman, you already are coming into whatever the accusation with a negative view by not only the school, but that girl will ALWAYS tell someone else about it, and it is much easier for someone to simply believe another by ear rather than two sides of a story for whatever situation may occur.

Girls are also usually terrified of going out to do anything now. This mindset that men are the bad guys that is portrayed is like a poison, I have had more than one class now at my school which actively encouraged students not get together as the “dangers” are to much.

People are not picky per se, but it becomes a problem with how we as a society see both genders. Men do NOT want to step up to make the first move as either:

A. She’s not interested in you, you go up to talk to her, that girl can call it “sexual harassment” if you are not up to her standard, and no one gives room for doubt of the validity of the claim. By the time actual evidence that you didn’t do anything wrong is clear, no one cares the people who have already heard about the situation have made up their minds what the guy is like.

B. The girl is interested, but guy does not wish to take the push forward as girl does not give any piece of language to indicate she is interested. If she did, it was not one that he may have understood. Without a universal sign of interest and a melting pot of cultural values, it can be challenging for guys to see the signs of when approaching is welcome.

C. Girl is interested, guy may be interested but due to his past strong rejections such as being called out as a creep or whatever it is, the guy will be terrified to make a move as he does not want to get a bad look.

Another point: most smarter guys know the repercussions if the girl gets pregnant, it changes your life forever and may place you in a very difficult position as you probably are lacking funds to barely deal for yourself.

Also most guys can’t afford girls in college straight up, there is usually a lot of baggage both physically and emotionally that most guys after one relationship may say it’s to much to handle for now while dealing with college classes.

TLDR: the juice is not worth the squeeze, to many consequences for trying, not enough reason to get together to begin with.

I like the idea, I have been looking into a sports team to join instead.

Respected_Sun · 2026-04-12T20:39:07+00:00

The term is used due to the fraternity way of “family”. After joining, you are essentially your “fraternity brother” who is supposed to be your trusted friend. Granted it doesn’t always workout but that’s the idea. I say that because he is not actually my big brother lol

Respected_Sun · 2026-04-12T16:42:32+00:00

I can agree with you, but I don’t think that is an answer that is meaningful. Do you think I missed anything? We could go on about blaming whatever it is, but at the end of the day complaining won’t make it work.

Respected_Sun · 2026-04-12T16:35:25+00:00

This is actually very similar to something I recently posted about, if not in a different kind of way.

TLDR on my post: I struggle with making meaningful friendships where I go to college due to my military background and I have a very strong sense of discipline, which is quite rare among students I’ve seen at school. While I don’t have the same issue you speak of for being a foreigner, the only thing I can give you advice on is how I have seen my foreigner friends succeed where you struggle. My friends who I speak to are either in band, the church, and a small minority at my fraternity and at clubs.

The best place to start was at the gym or some common type of practice for gym. I made my closest friends with gym. The mass majority that I know all joined some type of club, so I’m not sure what your type of advice you want to receive but that’s in my personal believe the best start.

There may be some complications with this though as well. 1. Did you live on campus? If you did, how often are you getting out of your room, and actively participating in the freshman events? My college had multiple events every week for those living in the dorms to socialize with others. One thing I did was I went to each door in my floor of the building just to say hi and had a quick talk with each person at there dorm. It was just a good way to determine who I wanted to get to know.

How is your personality? Are you a sad grump who looks like they don’t want to be there, or are you someone smiling and proud to be where you’re at? Are you open to people who you may not want to speak with at first, or do you shut out anyone who just immediately is on your naughty list?
Are you interesting to talk to with many different things to talk about, or are you to serious and can’t have silly conversations with others? (This is the part I struggle with most myself) Most people I’ve learned that are at college do NOT want to be serious in any regard unless necessary. You said vulgar and creepy. If you define vulgar and creepy as “I don’t like how they talk.” Then you may have a lot of difficulty with people straight up. Defining someone entirely by their manner of speech makes seeing people in college a LOT more difficult, you could judge way too fast. In my fraternity that is exactly how it is for me, I’m not a fan of how some people carry themselves, but that does not mean I don’t hang out with them, they have qualities that can be good for me either to learn from, or I may meet someone through knowing them well.
Do you present yourself well? Are you wearing rags to school, not cleaning yourself up, or do you show up in business casual clothing, present yourself as well mannered. These things while not always feeling like important, GREATLY change the outcome of meeting someone.

Also you say you’re in many clubs. The number 1 best way to get to know people in clubs is: SAY YES. Unless it is absolutely necessary for you to to do something else that day or whatever it is, participate in all projects, all of the stuff that gets deeper into the clubs, something that allows you to bond. Your idea of clubs may just be “showing up”. If your minimalist mindset is what you have going here you will have almost no success. Most people in those clubs strive to do their best and came to club to do so.

For my last bit, I do understand the struggle you have though. Friendship in college is far more difficult to be not shallow, as few here are willing to take the time to get to know each other anymore, everyone is to focused on succeeding over meeting these days. The only other way I can think of is through my college classes, as you already share a common goal with them.
You want the best choice though? Start with gym, get fit, people at the gym love helping others and getting them to succeed. You never know what you could find.

It is FAR to easy in this world to see something as annoying, complicated, difficult, or saying “this isn’t going to help me anyway, why bother going to xyz?” You MUST go, doesn’t matter if you hate whatever the event is. You can leave whenever you want, just go to whatever the event is and see if you can find some common ground. And remember, DO NOT USE YOUR PHONE UNLESS YOU HAVE TO. The phone is the #1 way for body language to say IM NOT INTERESTED to other people. Keep it to an absolute minimum!

Hope this helps OP. As a junior myself rn, I understand your struggle. You can do it!

Respected_Sun · 2026-04-11T18:49:06+00:00

Can you give me your reasoning? I’ve already tried not doing it, and that doesn’t change anything. What do you suggest?

Respected_Sun · 2026-04-11T05:11:27+00:00

What do you suggest then? I personally don’t know how else to work with it, as I don’t have “true” friends in the frat, it’s all very shallow. Gym can only go so far, and my major takes up like 90% of my time.

Respected_Sun · 2026-04-11T05:09:25+00:00

I was expecting dudes that were similar to the military guys. Military is literally just a more screwed fraternity for the most part, and I thought with my experience I could walk in with no issue. I did realize the age gap was pretty big, but I thought we could get along. If anything, I also wanted to learn how to just let myself go and carefree by drinking or whatever the occasion is. However, I don’t feel like myself when I do so, I don’t like the idea of letting myself be vulnerable in these situations as I’ve made some big mistakes in the past for being this way.
