This instructor states to read the chapters at least 3 times each to be prepared for the test. What she says to really study for on the test, it ends up not being any questions concerning that subject. Our final covered 2 books and not one repeated question from our old tests, quizzes or first final was on the second final. Next week is the withdrawal day for the last semester. She has already told the borderline students to withdrawal because there is no way that we can pass not even with 100's on the last test and final. This means that a class of 14 will end up with 6 finishing for the entire program. That is depending on how their grades are at the end. Oddly, this class is taught IV all the students that have this instructor for lecture and labtime which is still lecture time are all passing. The IV class that has another instructor for lecture time during our labtime are failing. It is just strange that the class that has the teacher all the time are passing, the class that does not are failing except for 2 students. I am not complaining about this teacher intentionally, but fair is fair. It does not hurt to return a phone call or answer emails. If we cannot go to our teacher that we have paid to teach us and prepare us for the world of nursing then who do we go to. Of course all the other instructors cannot help us with anything other than lecturing because they are not the head teacher or the head of the nursing program. Our teacher is both, the teacher and head of the nursing program. They plainly let us know that from day one. Yes, we are screwed from day one of class. The first semester was fine but we had another head of the nursing program. At the end of that semester that head of the program resigned and the teacher moved up to the position. That is when things went completely down hill from there. So many students have gone to the Dean and above about this teacher that it is not even funny. We have gone individually as a group and nothing happens to her. Last semester, we were making 90's on the test and this semester that highest grade on 2 tests is an 80, highest quiz grade is a 76. Does this seems okay to you.

This instructor is also the head of the LPN program. I have gone to her about study options and her only reply is that I may be studying to much. If direct questions are asked she does a 360 not to directly answer a question. We do not have assess to our tests and quizzes. Only under supervision can we view our class materials. I feel as though I am not learning anything under this instructor. This is a shared concern from the other students as well. The instructor comes into class reads from powerpoints and then she is ready to go. No homework, no extra credit nothing. We have labtime that is used for lecturing. We have no one at this community college to help the students and it is very unfair to us. We are not constantly complaining about this instructor but we are losing money and time from our careers as well as families.

I have spoken with her, we have gone to her as a class. Then it seems as though we are constantly picked on because we spoke up. I just hope and pray that I make it out from under her this last semester. She reminds us that she is the instructor and we are the students and she knows best. It seems as though the Dean and all the rest of the faculty all back her. No matter what we say, we are wrong. If I do not make it this semester I will have to start all over at another college. If this teacher was transferred, I think more and more people would be interested in the LPN program at this community college. We pay all this money for 6 hrs a day for 4 days a week. Yet we only are in class maybe 3 hrs a day, with one day completely missed due to all the other obligations that the teacher has to do in her life. She is by far the worst teacher that I have ever had. The students definitely are not a concern of hers and we are not top priority. As the teacher always states to the class that she has her degrees and we have ours to get. Encouraging words I know.

i am in my third and final semester of a lpn program. we have 14 students in class. the concern is that only 2 students have passed the tests and quizzes. they barely passed with an 80 which is what is needed to pass the class. if the other 12 students do not come out with an 80 we will all have to wait another year, that is if our gpa's don't take us out first. the questions on the tests and quizzes have two possible answers, and it seems as though the answer is what the teacher says is the right answer. even if the question is found in the book with another answer the teacher will not give credit. half the class is contemplating withdrawing and just giving up. the class starts off with 40 students and only 5 or 6 graduate each year. the students that withdraw all blame the teacher. should the entire class withdraw or try to pull threw and risk our gpa's? this instructor will not return phone calls or answer emails. so many students have complained about this instructor that it is a shame. the rn program has at least 40 or more graduating each program. the lpn program may have 6 graduating a semester. this instructor has taken some courses away from other instructors because the students are passing. does this mean that we should not be nurses because we cannot pass the teachers tests and quizzes. any help would be nice before we all pull out our hair. need help badly

Hey, I am my third and final semester of a LPN class. We have 14 students in class. The concern is that only 2 students have passed the tests and quizzes. They barely passed with an 80 which is what is needed to pass the class. If the other 12 students do not come out with an 80 we will all have to wait another year, that is if our GPA don't take us out first. The questions on the tests and quizzes have two possible answers, and it seems as though the answer is what the teacher says it the right answer. Even if the question is found in the book with another answer the teacher will not choose give credit. Half the class is comtemplating withdrawing and just giving up. The teacher start off with 40 students and only 5 or 6 graduate each year. The students that withdraw all blame the teacher. Should the entire class withdraw or try to pull threw and risk our GPA's? Does this mean that we should not be nurses because we cannot pass the teachers tests and quizzes. Any help would be nice before we all pull out our hair. Need Help Badly
