Thomas Edison State College

Not consistent. Some of the mentors are good. most of the mentors take forever to grade assignments. If you want to ask your mentor a question for clarification on a particular assignment, good luck in getting a response. If you ask your mentor a question, as to what you are doing wrong on assignment, you receive a rude response back. Some mentors post comments and some do not. I actually dropped two classes because I was not going to allow poor mentoring to ruin my GPA. I wanted to transfer to another school but would have lost too many credits so I decided not. After I graduate, I will attend graduate school at another college or university.

Thomas Edison State College is a good college for independent adult learners. Most degree programs offered by TESC operate on the pretense that the student has atleast a modest amount of practical experience in the field of study. Therefore, one could say that Thomas Edison State College is an excellent degree completion or finishing institution. Many of my colleagues and I came to TESC with a variety of college credits amassed over the years from a variety of sources, but had not completed a formal degree program. While Thomas Edison State College is liberal with its acceptance of (regionally accredited college credits) its definitely not a mail it in "Diploma Mill". Thomas Edison State College is one of a number of New Jersey State Colleges and Universities and is fully accredited by the Middle States Association of Universities and Colleges (regionally accredited). While professor (mentor) excellence and effectiveness can vary from outstanding, mediocre to poor, I could probably say that about any college. I found the level of instruction to be very good, with only a couple disappointing mentors. Although the college does offer some program majors that it does not directly support with courses, those courses not supported by the college are generally readily avilable and easily the credits are transferred in. I enjoyed my two and half years at Thomas Edison State and have continued my formal education at Edison by enrolling in their Masters of Science in Management program.
