Naka-sulod ko AMA, 2 sems.
I forgot what year (2000-2001-2002-2003).
I am not sure sa programming but the accounting courses, my instructors sa AMA were great! I wish I could still remember the names of my teachers. I don't remember any need to study or any memorization.
The basic accounting courses, journal, balancing etc gamit jud diri sa ako work diri sa states. When I had my training here overseas, it was like refresher na lan kay basic ideas and terminology medyo familiar naman ko.
I know one or two products of AMA Programming.... they're in Singapore na. It seems mao na ang uso destination of AMA programming grads.
I think programming is not for everyone. Some people are natural. They only need the basic principles (mao na some instructors you may find nga lisud sabton, kay it's really tricky for the mind). Natural programmers don't even need to study. It's like an art of painting/drawing. Some people can, and some people can't.
When they choose programming, it enhances their abilities. But those who expect to learn the skills through going to school (universities or AMA), they'll have to work extra hard.
I suck at programming. It's never for me.
~I'm also a Carolinian. I would say na, medyo may edge ang studyante kun given na pud ang facilities and solid foundation sa school na iya pasukan. Of course, kun wala 'chure' ang student, wala gapon.
