Even though many of these were posted in 2014, they will give you an idea what to look for if you are interested in The Art Institute of Las Vegas or any higher education institution. Essentially, all I’m asking is that you take a really good look at where you are “suppose” to go to learn some things.
Here is the list of FIFTY ONE (51) blog posts and very short descriptions I have done on my experiences at The Art Institute of Las Vegas:
The Art Institute of Las Vegas
Non-Profit, Same Price: They have turned non-profit. They haven’t turned the cost on students.
Quality of Graduation Work: A reel/portfolio of a student who passed the graduation board this year.
Vlogs/Videos Against For-Profit Colleges: Educate yourself with some personal testimonies and news packages on For-Profit Colleges.
Not On Track: How I haven’t been taught how to use equipment.
Pan and Tilt Your Way to Success!: Some basic things I have been taught multiple times in multiple classes.
Internships – An example of what I was offered, as well as some commentary on the concept as a whole.
Student Presentations: Extremely poor presentations by students can last over multiple class periods, and the instructors approve. Could this be Art Institute wide?
Policy Changes: An example of how the school changes things on a dime with no notification.
All the Small Things: Look at the total cost of your education, not just the ridiculous tuition.
How Did They Get This Far?: Students getting close to graduating and not knowing the basics.
Student Appreciation Day: AILV giving out food instead of a great education.
Housing Transportation: The school runs the shuttle when it is convenient…for them.
GT: Example of how the Guided Tours from Admissions have no clue what they are talking about.
Stock Drop: Look at how the Education Management Corporation’s (EDMC – the parent company of The Art Institute of Las Vegas) stock is doing.
Bad Work = Good Grades: Why do I get A’s on my projects if they don’t deserve A’s?
Faculty Equipment Knowledge: How does an instructor not know what he/she is suppose to know?
Unnecessary Class: This class should have been called “Study Hall” because that’s what it was.
Plagiarism!: A look at one student who was blatantly cheating, yet he was never kicked out as he should have been according to the school’s policy on plagiarism.
Late Work Policy: The school’s late work policy and how it doesn’t prepare students for the real world.
Am I Taking a Class or an Instructor?: Instructors teach what they want to, not what they are suppose to teach.
How Important Is Class Time?: One time, an instructor left one of my classes for a couple hours.
eBooks: eBooks forced on students with no option and the eBook I paid for that I have no idea why I have it.
Are You Sick of The Art Institute of Las Vegas Yet?
That Dam Hoover Damn!: Just look at the picture 🙂
Online Classes: Not taught anything. Pointless. They push online classes because the reward is huge for them.
Math Lab: The shady history of math at The Art Institute of Las Veags. Math was harder in high school.
Unprepared Class Sessions: Is a class properly taught without preparation?
Audio/Video Share: In some classes, instructors want you to put your work where literally anyone with access to a computer at the school can copy or delete it.
Confusion: “Logos are important!” “Don’t worry about your logo.”
Gradution / Finals Week: Wasting more time and money.
Exams: Why have exams if they aren’t a challenge?
Instructor Ratings: Instructors know when they are going to get rated.
Three Year Degree: How feasible is it to receive a Bachelor’s Degree at The Art Institute of Las Vegas in under three consecutive years?
The Art Grant: Is The Art Grant for the students or for the Art Institutes?
Angry Investor: You know something is up when an investor is suing the company he has invested in.
A Class Like Every Other Class: I had high hopes for this class, only for it to be degraded to be just like every other class.
Projects without Training: Does it make sense to make someone do a project when you haven’t taught them about it?
Holidays – The Little Vacations: No class = no work or lecture at The Art Institute of Las Vegas!!!!!
Starter Kits: You want to waste your money? Get your supply kit today!
Former Anti-Productive Policies: How were these even policies?
Email Communication: “Send an email, but I may not respond.”
Registration: A look at the sinking ship that is Registration Week.
General Education Courses: Take a look at the vast variety of general education courses!
Guards or Gophers: The school has a “security guard” who can only guard one of two entrances. Job responsibilities are also quite odd for a security guard.
Student Mentors: Shouldn’t the student mentors be model students?
Film Student Woes: Why do film students have to do so much extra work when exchanging skills?
Faculty Shake Up = Excuses: Is a mix up in faculty an excuse to not follow through with education?
Housing Costs: *****Student Housing may be coming to an end after Summer 2018********
My Last Four Classes: $6,000 in tuition for four classes where if I did gain any worthy amount of knowledge, it would have been by myself.
Picketing: A video and post about my experience protesting the school. The post has more information than the video.
Why I’m Doing This: Self-Explanatory!
