    The math tutoring provided is during a limited schedule not accessable to day time working students. Though (some of)the math instructors are paid by the students through tuition, they do not TEACH the students and the calculus text used by the instructor has the worst rating of texts thereby making it impossible for the students to teach themselves. This results in unnecessary wasted funds and frustration as well as withdrawels from required courses. I guess those who CAN teach get jobs providing free and equitable education and those who CAN'T get jobs as "instructors" stealing from students at Community Colleges!What has become of accountablilty?Potential math students Beware!!
