My professor is Auguste Nioupin.I am currently attending Biology 2101 Lab AP. I am attending the Tuesday and Thursday classes. I have ADHD and Huntington Chorea Disease, I communicate my disability with every professor at the very beginning of class. I disclosed this to my teacher and he stated that as long as it was on file with the HCC Disability Office that he would honor it. However, on February 5th it was updated with the proper department and I sent an email over to him with the updated accommodations. He has never responded to any of our class emails. He has changed our test twice, the third time will be February 25th. That would include 15 chapters for one of our very first exams. I come to class early to study for my test because my grades are important to me. He operates in the manner he wants with our homework, no communication or integrity. He is supposed to honor extra test time with Lab, Quizzes and exams. He has not. He updated the aLab portion to 70 percent of our grade and 98 percent of our test are composed of diagrams, but with a 30 minute completion timeframe. Cynthia from Disability Services sent him a message and the only thing he adhered to was giving me another attempt on the lab. The entire class is falling behind because of his test requirements , we spoke with him in person because he doesn’t respond to emails he said he would go in and add extra test times for us all, but he didn’t keep his word. Every test that he rescheduled he communicates through canvas 20 minutes before class while we are all studying. I feel unseen, devalued and as if I don’t have a voice. I am trying my best not to sue. I have been through so much just in one semester alone. My resolution is to get the extra time I need, drop from the class without a penalty for my financial aid for doing so, he should be held accountable for not honoring someone with a disability and changing our curriculum at his leisure. My teacher said that my percentage has to be a certain amount. I am over an 80 percent and I have not missed any assignments. I have also spoken with the chair in Biology Mr. Opara. He just takes up for...
Read moreThis is for ALL campuses. HCC as a whole. I ended up leaving here and going to lone star college instead. HCC is very unorganized, the advisors would tell me different degree plans to the point I ended up wasting my time taking classes I didn’t need. Advisors rarely pick up the phone. I’ve left countless Voicemails and emails and either received no response or a very vague reply. Seems like they never know what’s going on and I end up having to speak with 15+ people (I wish I was being dramatic with that number) when I need help with getting my courses and education plan together. I got fed up and completely ditched HCC. And I’m glad I did.. lone star has been the easiest smoothest ride EVER. Very prompt. things are already taken care of before I even get a chance to ask for assistance. Not to mention I’ve never had a problem with them not answer my emails. And when they do they are very thorough and to the point. HCC needs to take notes from...
Read moreKimberly and whoever was her manager on 3/8 were not helpful at all and now I’m at risk of not being able to start classes. They told me they closed at 5. In the middle of me sending over necessary documents, they told me at 4:50 that I had to leave because they were closing. I have done this process at another HCC location a few years ago and it did not take long. Whoever was working above Kimberly told me that I could send the documents online and it would process the same which was a bold face lie to get me out of the building. I understand it’s the end of your work day but I literally left work early to get this done. I will never come back to this location again!...
