A brutally honest testimony from a soon-to-be former student of The Art Institute of Pittsburgh Online Division, or "Ai Online". PLEASE, if you know anyone considering attending an Art Institute school, show them this video and save them the misery and suffering of ruining their lives financially. Don't be taken advantage of by this chain of supposed colleges. Their courses are set up not to teach you, but to hand you an A+ just for showing up to class. They will not teach you what you need to know to land and keep a well paying job and at best, their terrible job placement is only going to get you a minimum wage job. Their graduate employment rates are heavily distorted and dishonest. Their degrees have no respect on the job market and they will ruin your life with insurmountable student loan debt. What you are signing up for is not an education - you're signing up for indentured servitude and financial slavery. This video, despite its intended humor, is a rallying call to students that have been victimized by The Art Institutes and the company that owns them - EDMC (Education Management Corporation). Please contact us here on YouTube with your story so we can add it to the complication of testimonies. There are far too many of us out there and if we simply band together we can fight these criminals. The Department of Justice is currently suing EDMC and we all need to speak up so that if the fraudulent company is brought to justice, we students might be paid damages for ...

Spectacles - This method is best explained by examples. Suppose a teacher of accountancy wanted to teach students about building society accounts, bank accounts, shares, and other ways of saving money. She asks her students to study materials on these accounts in order to complete an evaluation matrix. If the evaluation criteria are well chosen the students must study and understand the different methods of saving very well in order to make their judgements. The judgements the students make show the teacher whether the learner has understood the method of saving. Groups can compare their judgements by placing them on a class grid provided on a flip-chart, board, or OHT. They enjoy this, and the controversy this creates can help clarify misunderstandings. Students could then be given a scenario, and asked to make a judgement as to the most appropriate method(s) of saving for a particular person. Like the other methods described in this document the aim is to get students to learn content (in this case, methods of saving) without direct explanation from the teacher. However, using this method, students will also develop their evaluation skills. Other examples include: •Learning about childhood diseases by evaluating them against criteria like 'method of immunisation' 'ease of immunisation' 'likelihood of permanent effects' etc. •Learning about computer printers by evaluating them as three star two star one star or no star against criteria like cost, speed, etc. This ...

Today, Margaret Evans demonstrates, in easy to follow stages, how to capture a colourful and loose impression of a still life flower study. In the creative environment of her studio, Margaret tackles a pastel project with a difference! Using a bouquet of flowers as her subject, she sets out to create a fleeting and colourful impression of the flowers instead of focusing on an accurate portrayal of what is laid out in front of her the results are quite simply stunning.
