Is all TAFE this bad? (Rant)
I am doing a certificate 3 in business.
I am doing virtual classes, as the local TAFE offers nothing other than aged care or child care.
But I have found I have hated EVERY step of TAFE.
Online:
- to start off, we waste half an hour waiting for late people, and waiting for the teacher to fix technology... Again.
This is a waste of my time, people should be joining 10-15 minutes early, the teacher should be set up and ready to go.
I've nearly finished this segment and the teacher still doesn't know how to get her headphones to work.
- there isn't usually any useful information in these classes. We run through that answers after the due date, so those who didn't do it on time can copy her answers. The somehow takes 2 hours. The class is meant to only be 1 hour.
Quizzes:
- answers are case sensitive, so some answers start with a capital letter, some don't.
- Some of the answers are spelt incorrectly! How many hours I spent resubmitting the quiz until I got the required 100% was infuriating (ended up taking screen shots).
I brought this up at the next class... SHE KNEW ABOUT THE SPELLING MISTAKES! Said it had been there for years, but didn't bother to warn us about it.
Assessments:
- The only 'feedback' I get is crosses and ticks on assessments.
- There are no written notes or comments. I have to guess, what part they didn't like.
One I found out was that the logo was on the left of the page, she wanted it centred.
Website:
- Most links are outdated and don't work.
- It's extremely hard to find anything, I find it's not user friendly.
- They get frustrated that we can't find the obscure link somewhere within TAFE.
Or the one sentence on the government website, she wanted us to copy. It's a big website!
