July 4th was my last entry.
I've been attending Linn State Technical College in Linn, Missouri.
My emotions on this college are mixed. I wouldn't recommend the networking program (CCNA Track) to anyone, as the instructor is not very accommodating to working people; ergo, the instructor wouldn't let me make up a test.
As I do contract computer work, and sometimes have to work overnight, I may or may not be able to get to my morning classes, depending on the distance; my particular class was at 8am. I withdrew from the class after multiple negotiations failed to get anything better than a terse, short-tempered response to me in front of the entire class. The networking instructor also does not like to be confronted when it is evident that 'they' believe 'they' are correct.
I made it clear at the start of the program, as well, that as my wife works from 6pm to 6am at a factory, and that as I need to pick her up, that I might also be late for class. This didn't sit well with the instructor from the first day.
Long-Story-Short Summary: I Require Night Classes
Other instructors have been more accommodating, so an individual's mileage may vary at this college. However, they have no night classes, and some classes begin at 6am, depending on the course. Linn State Technical College in Linn, Missouri is reasonably priced, but lacks a staff that could be a bit more caring and flexible with its student body.
End Result: I am not going back for a second semester. Instead, I am pursuing the option of online classes or night classes at another local college.
