Good Experience

This has been a good experience so far. Staff has been very friendly and helpful, unlike the university I last attended where I was just a number among many other students. Thank you Somerset community.

This has been the best college experience I have had. Sometimes the online classes can be tough, but you take away what you put in.

Great tool for students

It’s a great tool for students to use. The app helps you with everything from email to financial aid information.

ECTC

I have been apart of this school for 2 years and I have had a few issues come up and I’ve always ended up getting the help needed and problems solved. Any questions or concerns have always been answered. I have been an online student the entire time and classes have always been great. Advisors and professors have always been awesome as well. Professors will help and work with you is long as you communicate and just tell them the truth of what’s going on. Overall I have never felt like the school was a negative or something happen to make me not want to be apart of the school. I have loved furthering my education with this school and campus.

Insane

So there’s nobody to talk to to fix the app is what I keep getting told what I call In to the school (BCTC) and complain about it. It will not stay logged in on my iPhone and iPad so when I switch between the two I constantly have to sign in, and then when I sign in sometimes he’ll act like it’s going to go through but then it kicks me right back to the sign so I Gotta do it again and then I’ll act like it’s going to go through and then I’ll kick me back and I do this sometimes three and four times before it actually goes through and then if I have to move over to my iPad I get to do the same thing all over again yay fun… The only reason why I use this app is so I can do my schoolwork otherwise I would not use this app at all! And I don’t understand why there’s so many different ways to get to one thing but you have to navigate a certain way you can do both things on my path and blackboard but if you go through my path there’s some classes that’s why you Gotta go and other classes you have to go through blackboard it makes no sense it should be either or or one only!

Response from developer

Not staying logged in to multiple devices drives me crazy too. Submit a request at https://support.readyeducation.com/hc/en-us/requests/new If enough students request this, I hope we can get this changed by the developer. Send an email to KCTCSapp@kctcs.edu so we can discuss how the app, Blackboard, and My Path are working differently for different classes. I want to know more. Also in email let me know who you are talking to at BCTC so I can make sure they know how to request support. FYI - My Path is being updated over the weekend. Let us know what you think!

Notifications

Too many notifications on stuff that doesn’t matter to me. I got it just to check a few things for my classes on my phone but I keep getting notifications for public chats of people needing help in classes I have nothing to do with. I could prolly block it but idk how so it’s my fault not theirs. Just a heads up. Good for checking your classes stuff tho.

MCTC

The help I have gotten at MCTC to obtain my degrees had been amazing. Even though we have been under COVID restrictions for over a year the staff has been extremely helpful through virtual means. I would recommend this college to anyone, of any age that wants to further their education. The professors I have had are as knowledgeable & helpful as any at a big university and the one on one teaching has been exemplary.

Not used for its intended purposes?

This app is not to post about your coco after tucking your kids in.
This is not where you post pictures of your dog.
This is not where you find romance.
This is for education.
I absolutely cannot stand the amount of people using this app as facebook or tinder. I am paying tuition and that money is going towards an app that I can’t post a genuine question I need help with for college because it will get lost in random irrelevant posts. Ive looked past the illiteracy in posts. People do not need to be wasting educational resources on this. Add a social tab for those posts if you must. I was under the impression this was more of a forum than instagram.

Great Experience!

Great communication vehicle for students. As a non-traditional student, I can’t believe how much easier it is now to communicate with fellow students compared to when I first went away to college a number of years ago!

Great app!

The app is so convenient and easy to use! As an employee it is easy to find the employee tools and paper work needed! Thank you for making our job easier!
