Via several emails correspondences from students of for-profit U.S. based schools
For-Profit schools are hiring scammers as teachers.
Have you been scammed? Please email this blog about your experience.
We are not naming the school nor school teachers as it has been shut down, and the students being taught wrong have won court-cases to get their money back. Several students got refunds from school that closed down.
Here's how to check your teacher:
1) Does your teacher have a thesis publicly available? All Masters and Doctorial degree graduates have their thesis publicly available. Why doesn't your teacher have one?
2) Does your teacher have a portfolio? It is disgusting that a concept art teacher doesn't have any. Yo can give your teacher some recognition, if your teacher is on credit list of published games.
3) Does your teacher know what he's teaching?, or droning away at the PowerPoint slide?
4) Does your school have a track record, or are they they overpromising?
5) If your school teaches a game development component, do check out your teachers. Are they really teaching you, or if you google their names, are they scammers who don't know this and that?
This blog will never apologize to the schools, nor to their teachers. For brevity, this blog did not name the three schools that closed down.
This blog took down posts about certain schools, and awaited for court decision for student refunds, and/or remedies, upon request from the students of those schools.
This blog did reply to several students and, to take the matters to lawyer where their school teacher or teachers did not teach them correctly, or were absent, or their deadlines came and went, without proper supervision.
For students of those schools, your best remedy is to take the school to court to recover your school fees, or live up to your (student debt).
For the scam teachers, you have time to mend your reputation.
Where's the damn concept art in your portfolio?
Where's the damned participation in game jam?
Where's the damn animations?
Don't you feel shame teaching something you don't know of, where you don't have any expertise in the field you teach?
This blog is pleased to report that, scams on the Unity3D community is on a mend, with, customers being less stupid.
Is it worth trading your career for years of regret?
Some advice for those looking to make games:
1) Look for the freelancer's business permit. This is an easy give-away. All of the scammers on this don't have any. Even after 5 years, still nothing.
2) Look for the freelancer's portfolio. Another easy give-away. All the scammers on this, don't have any. Some of them are banned of Art Station, Sketchfab for putting models on their portfolio, that they don't own.
3) Look for their track record and past history. Do they have problems, or are they constantly trolling the Unity forums looking for victims?
4) Stalking and harassment. What is the troll or scammer doing? Are they harassing their victims, telling them to shut-up, or constantly posting slander about them?
For some people, like (names redacted) some of them have been scamming from since 2011. Is it worth 10 years of their career progression to constantly scam and scam Unity3d?
Some of them are on a mend, they refunded their customers, their names were taken off this blog.
Some of them, became worse and worse, constantly harassing their customers, constantly finding new bait or suckers.
