I do attend the Tampa campus. From my knowledge I enrolled at a bad time since apparently all the good teachers left.
The first few courses that one will be taken are on the graphic design side. Although I felt like it was a waste of time to take these courses the teachers were proficient and knowledgeable.
There are three web courses. Intro to Scripting, Intermediate Scripting, and Advanced Scripting. All these courses have the same teacher but she is not proficient in web design at all. The courses are all the same exact thing and it is basically solely up to me to learn this stuff since she can't really help me past basic stuff.
There are two flash courses Intro and Intermediate. The intro course is extremely basic. All it focuses on is tweening and the various features of flash. Something a person can get down in an hour at most but they stretch it out 11 weeks. Needless to say there is a lot of down time in that class. The teacher is new and since the course is so basic I cannot judge his proficiency in flash. The next course is Intermediate this course will be all actionscript. The downside to Intermediate is they do not give you any projects in games,desktop applications it only focuses on building a site. This is a bad thing because flash is almost completely out for web design replaced by Javascript. They do not teach Javascript and there is no teacher in the school to my knowledge that knows it.
Photoshop (Image Manipulation) and Illustrator (Digital Illustration) were ok classes with an ok instructor. His assignments were absolute crap though. There are tons of projects and tutorials that truly utilize the programs. On top of that we had assignments that had nothing to do with the program for example I had an assignment in Digital Illustration that I felt was more of a photoshop assignment. His way of grading was equal crap.
more to come...
