School of Higher Education Reviews ? BSc in Construction

kevin310 · Postby **kevin310** » December 30th, 2011, 9:49 am

Thinking about starting the BSc in Construction Project Management . I'm sure we have past students of the school on tuner. What are your thoughts ? Would you still sign up if u knew then what u know now ?

I want to get certified from a foreign university , without leaving the country. After checking around, this was the only school i found that offers courses in construction/civil engineering. I'm too paranoid / lack discipline to try any online courses. Thanks in advance

dont know anything about the course itself, but I would advise that you go to an actual school forget those online crap, there is alot more you learn that regular book work when you are in and a part of an actual school/class environment, you also brush up your people skill and prepare yourself for the harshness of society by dail interactions etc etc

All bullocks. The man running the school is probably a old money grubbing thief, but the course legit and government recognized. I know a few project managers from oil companies and government who did the course.

i did it.
its not an online course
you sit in an actual class room and get lectures from qualified ppl
its worth it since you get your bsc from Heriot-Watt University (google it nah)
you even get an official graduation where the deans from the university come to Trinidad to hand you your degree personally.

is McDonald a smart man?
YES but he is helpful and will not bar you if you do not pay, he actually has a heart, (not like sbcs) and you are getting what you paid for since this course is not offered anywhere else.

Because in the real world degrees from utt and costatt mean nothing, "graduates" are usually no smarter than someone selling air fresheners by nestle.

They come to interviews, can't answer simple common sense questions like "tell us your personal strengths and abilities"...

They go onto say "well, i have a degree"

FAIL

I attended UTT , i understand why someone would say that about a UTT student. But you can say the same for any other educational institution . UWI included , i have co workers with first class degrees from UWI and they need to be trained from scratch. I mean simple things like pythagoras theorem. Everyone is different , and i am sure that this does not apply to the majority of university students. I have no shame in admitting that i forgot half of the things i learnt at school . But dont we all ? Can you blame a student if a syllabus is structured in such a way that student have to cram to pass an exam, instead of really understanding what he is doing ?
