I have just started taking pre-requisites for their Computer Science Masters program online. I was aloud to register for some upper level courses as i had taken their pre-requisites at another university. Towards the middle of the one of the classes, after it was too late to get a full refund, my professor told me that i was ill prepared for the course. I was also told that the likelihood of me failing was high. I went from having an A to a D in one week. Instead of helping me or being open to what i was trying to explore within the course, i was dismissed. None of my assignments were late. None were incorrectly submitted. None of the code that i wrote contained bugs or compiler errors.

When a student does all the work, has taken the necessary foundational courses, and is willing to learn and is still failing - the problem then lies with the teacher, not the student. Especially if that student currently holds a Masters Degree in a related field of study, thus has the aptitude and the capacity to learn the material.

I have since withdrawn from the program and will be gong to another school in the future.

IF you took the foundation courses and still failing the class, no matter how much you're "still willing to learn" you aren't trying hard enough. The problem isn't the teacher, it's you're inability to master the material you need to succeed in the course. No one cares about your other master's degree.
