Memo to ITT Tech Recruiters: "Comments to Avoid"

I am not making this up. The following excerpt is from a document for recruiters, available for any ITT-Tech faculty to read.

Language to Avoid: "Students will learn how…”

Reason: We cannot and do not guarantee that students will learn anything. It requires their involvement outside our control.

Alternate Phrasing: "Topics presented include…” or "Coursework covers subjects like…” or “Program instructors present…”

This is true. I got the same memo when I worked there. Teaching and Learning were words to avoid.

The REAL story is ONE student turned in a noodle soup recipient and got an A on the assignment.

When I worked at ITT a group of students turned in recipes copied and pasted from an internet cooking site for 1 whole quarter and only attended class once every three weeks - every student passed with a grade of A.

Well, that is probably "ok", since you can't always expect miracles. Here is some text excerpted from one paper:

An I all so now how a forward...As well this was the first time I learned how to Souder on an electrical bored. An all so know whey filter are used in power splices an whey one is batter than a another in different variables. I died Souder for the vary forest time (An was like an art in some ways how not to let it bubal but to make shore it was more like a indent that went all away around to make a tiet bond).

I beloved with this information I will be able to apply move on to devise 2 and be able to move on in my schooling an ITT. An this will help me reach all my gales in life.
