I have been a student of this college for over a year. DeVry University does not properly teach their professors about certain procedures of the school. Professor Anthony Hamilton is a horrible professor and does not have a passion to actually teach his students. I am a student who have graduated as Cum Laude' undergrad. Since attending DeVry until recently, my GPA was a 3.93. It has went down and I am not at all motivated as I was before with continuing this school.
The class I had with him was a class in which I ordered a book and the book was NEVER used in the class to the point when a student could not even refer back to the book. The professor wanted the student to read his dissertation from when he was in college and other items he felt that he wanted to insert into the class.
I first inquired about appealing the grade through the professor and I have emails in which he insisted and tried to persuade me not to file an appeal. During this time, I was contacting other people and then when I finally got the information to appeal, the other administrators who got involved did not care, they prolonged time for weeks at a time. Over a 2 month period, my appeal was denied saying that I did not appeal the grade in the correct time period and manner, even though I didn't get the information I needed, initially. There was absolutely NO urgency on my behalf...AT ALL. I felt that this was a good school, who are concerned about their students, but I have seen otherwise. I am down about this college now and I am just trying to make it through.
I will never allow Dr. Hamilton to teach me again. The best professor DeVry has is Mr. Joel Bunkowski. He is awesome, down to earth and his experience working with people truly show in all...
Read moreI have been a student at this campus since August of 2013. I am now a senior and have recently found that I will not be able to complete my degree on campus as the remainder of my courses are only offered online. That would be fine if they were general education common to all degrees offered but these courses are for my major concentration. I have also found out in recent weeks that this is the norm across the entire DeVry network of schools where they will offer some degrees at various campuses without giving the students the ability to complete the course through on campus instruction. If you are like me and need the interaction of a real human in order to understand the subject being taught don't attend this school.
Update: I have learned from a recent visit to the campus that some of the classes now offer a hybrid online/in person type of instruction. Apparently, while taking certain classes, students can interact with their professors via webcam thus attempting to fill the void for the students that need a real person to be able to understand the subject matter. So, after learning of this I am going to return to DeVry and attempt to finish my degree. I will update this review as...
Read moreAs I have completed the medical billing and coding course the Academic advisor put me in a class that I was not supposed to be in. I was supposed to take another class before that one . then the financial department can’t get their stuff together and get everything I need to know from one person to the other I’ve been around around for the last weeks on my final disbursement check and one said it would be cut within two weeks of classes then the other one said no . I had to sign a paper and then it will be cut on the sixth or seventh week . so then I called back and now they decide to take the money from my government financial aid to spend as they see fit instead Of me being in charge of my personal financial stability .for that and I have completely screwed my financial department of my schooling all to pieces.
