Teaching quality of community colleges: funds and teachers

The funding of community colleges mainly comes from the government budget and social donations. The American people pay attention to practicality. Most four-year universities are far away from residential areas, and private universities with good locations are too expensive, so community colleges at home have become the first choice for ordinary Americans. Children in residential areas attend community colleges, which are co-sponsored by donations from community parents. Parents will naturally care and donate. Coupled with direct government funding, generally speaking, the hardware facilities of community colleges are not worse than those of comprehensive universities, and because they are in residential areas, the safety factor is higher. Many colleges, such as Foot hilland DeAnza College, Orange Coast College, San Mateo College, etc. Located in the rich area, it has abundant funds, and its scale and facilities are not inferior to ordinary universities, or even better.

As for teachers, because community colleges mainly undertake undergraduate basic education and vocational education, they usually teach in small classes, with about 20 students in each class. Teachers are very concerned about students. We have noticed that most professors and admissions directors in community colleges are very familiar with our students, and almost every student can be called by his first name. Since there is no research task, teachers in community colleges can concentrate on teaching. Among these teachers, there are many retired professors from famous schools. In addition, community colleges in the United States are densely distributed. If the teaching quality of the community college is not good, parents will drive for five more minutes and send their children to a better community college nearby. Under this kind of competition, community colleges dare not relax their teaching quality.
