I started attending this college since it was cited as a Military university that was suppose to know how to work with military individuals. Nothing could be further from the truth. i had to explain my transcripts several times, i had to resubmit all of my paperwork several times, i had to explain the TA program to them, I had to work from the ground up on this application process. Once in, things did not get better as for each class I had to go through the entire process again. The introductory class for all students is a requirement that is a complete waste of time as the material is neither useful nor any different from the information provided in the online manuals. Even worse is that this class is worth no credit but I have to pay for it regardless. Out of the four classes I took, three of the instrucots would not answer class questions and provdied syllabusses that were so hard to understand the entire class was asking questions on how to proceed. One instructor even had a errors throughout his syllabus that he didn't note until halfway through the course. Still others classes saw more value in promoting their own book than actually teaching any information. All of the class work was busy work in all classes. I informed faculty and administrtion of all problems encountered and they couldn't be less concerned. I'm leaving this college to get a better education elsewhere and one that is less of a hassle.

commentSour grapes..nothing more!
responseEvery statement made is totally false and without merit..to include the intro course not having any credits..it awards 3 hours. AMU is extremely knowledgeable about all military TA procedures and the student basically submits very little, the university does most of the work for them..sounds like this person would like others to believe they went to AMU..but obviously did not.
commentAlso, you can apply for a waver to the intro class.
responseI'm responding to the comment about the introductory course. The point of the introductory course is for you to sit down and really think about what you want to get out of your education and to prepare you for the course you will take on the way. If you thought that the class was a joke then obviously your treating your education as a joke. From personal experience I can say that there is purpose in the class. It is there to make sure that you are successful in reaching your goals in obtaining your degree. If you had taken the class more seriously maybe you would not be dropping out of the school. If you have ever attended a brick and mortar university you would know that most of them also require that you take similar course. I had to take one called "University Life" at the university where I received my bachelors degree. The class was created with the same intention of making sure that you were prepared for the college experience and would make it to your goal. AMU does give you 3 hours for the course.
commentI have yet to see any derogatory comment on StudentsReview backed by any substantive merit. The general consensus is that those who are not happy had a self-induced bad experience and refuse to take responsibility for their own actions.
