Here is the list of blog posts and very short descriptions I have done on my experiences at The Art Institute of Las Vegas:
Quality of Graduation Work: A reel/portfolio of a student who passed the graduation board this year.
Vlogs/Videos Against For-Profit Colleges: Educate yourself with some personal testimonies and news packages on For-Profit Colleges.
Not On Track: How I haven't been taught how to use equipment.
Pan and Tilt Your Way to Success!: Some basic things I have been taught multiple times in multiple classes.
Internships - An example of what I was offered, as well as some commentary on the concept as a whole.
Student Presentations: Extremely poor presentations by students can last over multiple class periods, and the instructors approve.
Policy Changes: An example of how the school changes things on a dime with no notification.
All the Small Things: Look at the total cost of your education, not just the ridiculous tuition.
How Did They Get This Far?: Students getting close to graduating and not knowing the basics.
Student Appreciation Day: AILV giving out food instead of a great education.
Housing Transportation: The school runs the shuttle when it is convenient...for them.
GT: Example of how the Guided Tours from Admissions have no clue what they are talking about.
Stock Drop: Look at how the Education Management Corporation's (EDMC - the parent company of The Art Institute of Las Vegas) stock is doing.
Bad Work = Good Grades: Why do I get A's on my projects if they don't deserve A's?
Faculty Equipment Knowledge: How does an instructor not know what he/she is suppose to know?
Unnecessary Class: This class should have been called "Study Hall" because that's what it was.
Plagiarism!: A look at one student who was blatantly cheating, yet he was never kicked out as he should have been according to the school's policy on plagiarism.
Late Work Policy: The school's late work policy and how it doesn't prepare students for the real world.
Am I Taking a Class or an Instructor?: Instructors teach what they want to, not what they are suppose to teach.
How Important Is Class Time?: One time, an instructor left one of my classes for a couple hours.
eBooks: eBooks forced on students with no option and the eBook I paid for that I have no idea why I have it.
That Dam Hoover Damn!: Just look at the picture :)
Online Classes: Not taught anything. Pointless. They push online classes because the reward is huge for them.
Math Lab: The shady history of math at AILV. Math was harder in high school.
Unprepared Class Sessions: Is a class properly taught without preparation?
Audio/Video Share: In some classes, instructors want you to put your work where literally anyone with access to a computer at the school can copy or delete it.
Confusion: "Logos are important!" "Don't worry about your logo."
Gradution / Finals Week: Wasting more time and money.
Exams: Why have exams if they aren't a challenge?
Instructor Ratings: Instructors know when they are going to get rated.
Three Year Degree: How feasible is it to receive a Bachelor's Degree at The Art Institute of Las Vegas in under three consecutive years?
The Art Grant: Is The Art Grant for the students or for the Art Institutes?
Angry Investor: You know something is up when an investor is suing the company he has invested in.
A Class Like Every Other Class: I had high hopes for this class, only for it to be degraded to be just like every other class.
Projects without Training: Does it make sense to make someone do a project when you haven't taught them about it?
Holidays - The Little Vacations: No class = no work or lecture!!!!!
Starter Kits: You want to waste your money? Get your supply kit today!
Former Anti-Productive Policies: How were these even policies?
Registration: A look at the sinking ship that is Registration Week.
General Education Courses: Take a look at the vast variety of general education courses!
Guards or Gophers: The school has a "security guard" who can only guard one of two entrances. Job responsibilities are also quite odd for a security guard.
Student Mentors: Shouldn't the student mentors be model students?
Faculty Shake Up = Excuses: Is a mix up in faculty an excuse to not follow through with education?
Housing Costs: Is the school providing housing for convenience or for profit? Is it worth sharing a two bedroom apartment with three other people?
My Last Four Classes: $6,000 in tuition for four classes where if I did gain any worthy amount of knowledge, it would have been by myself.
Picketing: A video and post about my experience protesting the school. The post has more information than the video.
Where's the blog about the Art Kits?
