I've been attending this school online for over two years and the quality of its education has been declining. The professors are too reliant on its technology that they mindlessly feed information into each course with little oversight and care. I figure they're just interested in collecting the check - go adjunct professors!! Actually, it's a brilliant scheme. They have you purchase online textbooks with student access, so that you can complete online assignments through the publisher's site. Essentially, you are playing extra to take quizzes and exams online that are automatically graded with no instructor interaction. The classes push more peer interaction (discussion posts, which are the worst thing to be partake in the whole galaxy) with very little instructor interaction. A lot of lazy teaching is applied here. You actually learn a lot more from YouTube rather from the actual class you PAY for, and YouTube is free. Too bad they don't offer degrees. Sadly, I've invested too much time and money into this black hole that I have no choice but to finish. If you plan to attend, expect to learn on your own and try not to keep your expectations high. Basically, you're expected to buy an overpriced book, read it page by page, take a quiz or exam from a test bank, write papers upon papers on asinine topics that relate to some technology you don't care for, and at the end of the day wonder why you keep putting yourself through the same ridicules cycle of perpetual frustration and hopelessness. It kind of fills like purgatory except you chose to be there. Enjoy!!!
