A Good Education Lasts A Lifetime Aug 07, 2010 // Anthony IsabelNo Comments »Even before the 32% California State University (CSU) tuition increase and the 9.3% increase imposed on University of California Students (UC) students: getting the money to pay for college was hard enough to come by. The tuition increase weighing down the majority of college students in California would be more easily tolerated if students did not feel as though they are paying more money for a lower quality education. University budget cuts have led to the cutting of professors’ salaries and hours, which in turn led to class cuts.
With fewer classes being offered most students are unable to take the classes they want or that they need to satisfy their major requirements. The first day of any class usually consists of a desperate herd of students crowding around a professor begging to be given a spot in their class. It then becomes the professor’s job (much to his/her dismay) to determine which student(s) story is too desperate to ignore. Usually, a lucky five are given spots and the other forty are sent off to go and beg/harass another professor(s).
As if the reality of students scrounging together tuition money and still having to win a bogus lottery to be enrolled in the necessary classes isn’t aggravating enough, the fact that students are getting less knowledge and interaction out of their classes because professors are having to shift how and what they teach is enough to make anyone pull their hair out. With over crowded classes and a lack of teaching assistants, professors are forced to reduce their lecture halls to simple testing zones. A course consisting of nothing other then lectures, a midterm and a final exam is a waste of students’ time; because most college students cram for testing and forget what they’ve learned after their exams are over. The knowledge a student keeps with them over time often comes from group projects, paper assignments and in class discussions.
The harsh reality is that if students want to attend a CSU or UC campus they must endure the ridiculousness of its confines. Although here at EZ Business Loans we cannot erase the numerous issues California college students face, we can offer them the money needed to pay off their tuition via their parents’ small establishments.
