Hey Suede,
It's me again! I forgot to include an important part of my previous message. It's a big scandal that has to be on your site!
The managers of the IT department, the library employees and some of the database workers have the right to access your logs, files you've saved in college, your username and password that's connected to your history and possibly photos chat history and calls. As an information technology, I paid no attention to having to insert my username and password. Then it hit me, how did the teacher know that some students cheated in the exam if she was just sitting on her chair in front of her computer all day? Does that mean they accessed our information WITHOUT any consideration for the rights we might have?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why did we have to use our username and password to connect instead of just joining the network or even only being given general usernames and passwords that aren't linked to our activity in and out of college?

Why did one of the lecturers take my friend's laptop
out of the blue and keep it with him for a few hours?
If you put all of these questions into consideration, there's no way you can say that it is to protect the student's safety and monitor their usage, it's used to spy into and lurk around their personal lives. It was indeed very creepy to imagine that some of the workers would just sit by looking at our personal lives as we come and sign up everyday into their corrupt networks.
My friend tried setting up a manual proxy while connecting to the network. We set up our own virtual private network in addition to toolbars that auto- encrypts the http into https in urls. (S means secure browsing). For days and weeks, workers would try to find the anonymous source of our information (since we were using the vpn to connect to the network!) It only proved our point that the HTC is a group of pathetic managers that barely control their creepy old geezers and hags that lurk in people's personal information!!!!!!!

Dear Suede,
Here's
additional information you might be interested in:
- the
colleges of technology are facing severe decrease in the number of employees,
which means that the class times for the teachers who stayed have increased
from 15 hours of teaching to 30 hours per week (due to lecturers quitting their
positions.) There is a lack in teachers that's estimated to around 200
lecturers around the country.
- the
issue kept developing until the beginning of the first semester. Students are
complaining from not being able to enroll into the majors they want to choose
because there aren't enough lecturers to teach these students.
- the
directors of the HCT unanimously agreed that there is a severe shortage of
faculty members in different fields. This is due to the bad decision-making
skills by certain persons in the college adminstration , since some steps are
taken without referring to other employees that are related to the issue that
occurs, isolating them and not allowing them to participate in decision making.
This caused many problems such as lack of lecturers.
-
according to emirates news, around 199 Mil DHS have been used to buy equipment
such as science and computer lab stuff, electronics, projection screens and so
on, but the colleges still face a huge lack of both human and electronic
resources!!! The termination of services for some staff without having their
replacements made a delay in delivering some of the stuff and completion of
procurement in various colleges in the country.
-
students at the HCT complain of several difficulties encountered during their
studies such as being treated improperly by teaching staff, constantly being
threatened with academic dismision for reasons that are not convincing. They're
suffering from the school system and some of the students with financial
problems are forced to buy a laptop and an ipad (for information technology and
business students) and a laptop only for all other majors including English
levels.

OK, any comments on the above?

Probably a good time to remind the last person to leave to turn out the lights
No, the lights were turned off long ago, and we are all working in total darkness. That way, nobody knows what is going on and we cannot see the devastation around us!
I believe this commentry to be falsification. I am working as a teaching faculty in the HCT in Sharjah and I believe this website I have discovered from my colleagues is a lie. Whomsoever tries to write their opinions here is becoming angry at themselves and not the colleges where they are work. Mr Oasis you are pretending to help others by writing stories from so called students yet in fact you are damaging society by your activities. You must remove yourself and leave the country alone. This writing creates poison feeling for all and you become an accessory to the damage. To what end does your hiding here actually help any of my students?
You must not have worked there long if you think this is false... another newbie believing all the lies you were told in your interview!
Students WILL be helped if HCT is ever cleaned up, nepotism ends (with the vc's gf/2nd wife controlling one of the major colleges), third world fake PhD holders who can't even teach basic courses are no longer hired... the place is a travesty now, not even a shadow of what it was under HH sh nahyan... such a shame.
I rather think that the comment of censure towards SO was made by an HCT goon, dressed up in faculty clothing.
Nobody who is working as a teacher at HCT can possibly write those words in good faith, unless he is very partially sighted.
Sent to me... a tale of management's support of faculty, at the behest of students.
There was/is a relatively new, but highly qualified newly minted AP known as the Jones'er. In fact the Jones'er is headed your way if you are in the Western Region.
After proving himself incompetent as a teacher in Fujairah i.e. rejected by the students for his sex talk, and inability to convey information about the accounting field, the VC has reassigned him. Some would say banished, except Jones'er was repeatedly rewarded with raises since his arrival, or so he bragged to his Chair, whose job he wanted very badly, as they had come to despise each other. As you can imagine, familiarity breeds contempt, as the Jones'er, a Christian man, has the wasta backing him in AD and Jones'er, as a management clown wanna be, lashed out in retaliatory spite over his relocation and near dismissal via email.
Not sure if tis true, just what was told...

Really it is just sad. On the odd day that HESN looks back he must be disappoint ed as well.
I remember the day I knew it was only a matter of time before they "got him".
It really gone downhill since the days of Sheikh Nahyan.
Indeed, the HCT rocket is still pointed firmly DOWNWARDS. Will it ever the reach the hardcore centre and finally explode? Surely it cannot be much longer!?
I think an analogy with King Jong Un and his ballistic missile practice would be more appropriate. Each one is designed to impress, but is actually quite pointless and without any real purpose.
The comment above describes HCT to the proverbial 'T'. Never before in my teaching life have I felt that I am taking part in a process that is SO 'pointless and without any real purpose'.
Does anyone else agree with me here?
Oh yes!
What is HCT's QS Ranking for the Arab Region?
My how the mighty have fallen.
2016 = 36
2017 = 45
2018 = 53
