I am a current student here in Denver and the product here sucks. We've lost so many instructors to the point we are down to 6 instructors (for the last 15 weeks) for over 110 students. At the worst point, we were down to 4 instructors when 2 of them took vacations. Half of the instructors are resident instructors, which do not have enough experience to walk through coding questions without them asking for help themselves. The queue for asking questions on coding blockers takes over 3 ...
I am a current student here in Denver and the product here sucks. We've lost so many instructors to the point we are down to 6 instructors (for the last 15 weeks) for over 110 students. At the worst point, we were down to 4 instructors when 2 of them took vacations. Half of the instructors are resident instructors, which do not have enough experience to walk through coding questions without them asking for help themselves. The queue for asking questions on coding blockers takes over 3 days to get a response.
The lead instructors stopped requiring us to complete all the course work due to the majority of students falling behind, further robbing us of coding experience in other technologies.
They have decreased our hours of operation because instructors are getting burned out due to being over-worked since there is a lack of instructors. Many of the students across several cohorts are experiencing learning issues b/c there is a lack of teacher/student interaction. When asking for help we are told to figure it out ourselves in order to prepare ourselves for the working environment, even when we have been stuck on a project for almost 2 weeks. It is a disgrace b/c this is supposed to be an educational environment and many of the students have been talking about walking out even when they are just 3 weeks into the course. The overall product here has been slowly deteriorating b/c Galvanize spent all their funding acquiring Hack Reactor, their biggest competitor, and can't afford to hire lead instructors from the development field. Instead of being honest, the lead instructor and program director have lied to us several times about the untimely departure of all the instructors when they tell us they just found out about them leaving just days earlier. Only to be secretly told through innuendos by resident instructors that they would be leaving 5 weeks earlier.
Not only can they not hire qualified instructors in a timely manner, they cannot resolve internal issues with course support programs, ie: advisory groups. They just scrapped it b/c instructors could not communicate effectively with the others. For $21,000, this course has definitely lost its value. It seems that they have become like the majority of colleges around the country where all they care about is the almighty dollar from student tuition and not care about the quality of education and quality of coders graduating from the course.
The only people I truly feel like they are doing their job is the career advisors.
