Re: Art Institute fires animation teacher who won't pimp their useless e-books
At the risk of this turning into a debate thread I'm going to address your post, Dataday, then stay out of it for a while so the heat doesn't get too high. I'm not sure how long Tracy was teaching at AI, but I was attending AI in San Diego when they first implimented the e-book procedures. Unless he's been teaching for… -
Re: Art Institute fires animation teacher who won't pimp their useless e-books
You already have a bad ass art skills. You still want to go to college for it? @ reverendK: Eeep.. I had to pay 5k per year for 3 year program and 8k per year for the following 4 year program. Our math prof was kind enough to let us use the same book for 2 semesters. I think it was $150 for that book. Now come to think of… -

Maybe this is all wrong, and I know that, but so far, in terms of For-Profit Schools this is the standard procedure I have seen in every one of them, be the cheap 17K one or the full price 170K one.

Did he accomplish… -

Re: Art Institute fires animation teacher who won't pimp their useless e-books
LOL, ok that was funny... I dont know where or how exactly, but I think some are assuming I think negatively at Tracy as a person...this is not so. I dont know the guy, and from what i hear he is a great instructor. My opinion is based on the concept that if he truly cared about changing the policy and accreditation, then… -
Re: Art Institute fires animation teacher who won't pimp their useless e-books
Well good for you sir. Do let us know how long will take you to pay that debt off. According to the youtube video that you've posted a minimum cost of a book in college / univ is about $200.00 and up. Fallacy of my argument? lol. Ok read my statement again and tell me what I said because I had to re-read my post when I…
