Worst school I have been too or have even mentioned to from others. I had to repeat 48 credits from a National accredited school in Florida. There placement tests are fake to get more student into prep courses. I encountered a math average question about weather. Showed 4 of 5 and said the average for the week was set. It asked you you figure out the missing day. Easy question times average by five and minus out the remaining four. Ones performing the test told me best guess answer to math problems. Then they have you sign up for classes with no tuition payment chart, email or anything that tells you tuition payment date. Last semester I received an email that told me I had to pay within the next two days or I will be dropped. It gets worse I have taken every writing, history, government, humanity and social science class at the school. I signed up for comm 2 and get a teacher that fails everyone of my papers. I had a 3.8 g.p.a. before Miss Buttler's class. I had my papers graded at a professor at texas a.m corpus. They told me they are B and C exams when I was given F and low D grades at Del mar. I was given a 68.5 grade which means I have to retake the class. I showed the department head and council my findings and results. They still sided with the grade saying not enough evidence to even change my grade to a C. I will be taking my results and findings to the news organizations in the area to shine light on the injustice and abuse of power from a teacher that her response to the issue is in my opinion. Grammer and writing has rules just like math has rules She even marked correct spelled words as mispelled just to lower my grade. I will be pushing to have everyone involved fired and I hope this helps others that have be a victim of this injustice and abuse of...
Read moreThe issue I have with Del Mar is that the political science departments give no voice to conservative thought. They push a liberal agenda. Every speaker that comes to del mar is a liberal. Delores Huerta somehow believes that the Texas border crossed her in order to raise thoughts of a border being illegitimate. She also talks bad about our Texas Senator Mr. Cruz which is very offensive. She brings up being stranded on a desert island and asks would you rather be with a farm worker or a lawyer. Fine, statistically speaking, a person is more likely to be accused of a crime they did not committ than to be stranded on a desert island so then who would you rather have? Then they bring in Dr. Dyson...huge liberal...need I say more? They had another Dr. who spoke raising the question of why Texas does not accept college id's for voting and pondered why not...all the while he should know that illegal immigrants are not allowed to vote, but are given id's when they attend college which bare no differences than any other student id. I wish I had been there when this speaker was speaking because most of the people there listening seem to be brain dead and instead of reminding him of the law and challenging him they lifelessly listened to his non-sense. I challenge Del Mar College to hire some core conservative political science professors...I challenge them to invite some conservative speakers but I bet they are too...
Read moreAlright. Bringing my review down a star. If I could bring it down another star, I would.
This school is an absolute mess. Instructors bombard you with work, regardless of if you're a part-time student, or a full-time student. Signed up for part-time, because my advisor recommended it to me, due to the fact that I got a full-time job, a wife, and a dear little kitty to take care of. So first semester was a breeze. THIS semester, oh boy, has this instructor been a headache. Constantly moving due dates, giving harder tests, gives vague videos that do no explaining how to solve the problems. The staff always has an attitude here, still, and still, they seem to always send me in circles and tell me to look on the website for my answers. They don't seem to know their own academic calendar, either. This school lacks motivation and communication to help students pass. Everyone here is lazy. They expect you to already know everything here.
All in all, save your money and time, do not go to this college. You're better off going elsewhere. Don't cripple yourself with student debt with lazy people. Fight through it if you're...
