Tammy probably get paid by University Alliance. The instructor I'm having here, is incompetent. He has a Ph.D. but on a different subject(discipline), that is not related with the class he's teaching (e.g. PhD in geography, teaching IT security). Instructor knows no better than the online students, based on very poor(lack) of communication. When students ask further questions about the subject, normally it's ignored, until another week passed by, and forgotten. Not much activity in this class. Out of 8 classes I took, only 2 instructors match the videos. If you don't like this education, you have the option to be kicked out, right in the middle of degree. The classes are not transferrable to other universities as no one would take it. I'm victimized.

In the Florida Tech Online / University Alliance scam demo, there's a video of a professor lecturing. But that's not what you get. The ones on the video called "original professors", but the ones you get are not the one you see on the video. And yes, they're not experienced (novice) type of professors. Feel cheated!!!
You have to want it!

You have to use turnitin to stop plagerism period. Any online school will use a program like this if they are worth going to. Yes the class load is hard sometimes but I would say no more so than going to a campus. If you want easy go to a degree mill, if you want to learn from a good ranking school this is it. My major is CIS and I feel my professors are doing a great job and know what they are doing. I get email as well as message board feedback right away. If I have a question I can contact them for chat. After books and classes my charges are aprox 1300 per term. I believe its around 460 per credit hour. Be prepared to work and learn, that is if you want it bad enough!

At first the online university sales lured me to enter, but ONCE you get in, they provided us with low quality professors that knows NOTHING about their subject. Well, not all professors, but about 50% or so. They just want your money. Not only that, the faculty people have attitudes to treat online students like a tyran/dictator. Once you get in and in the middle of the way to get your degree (after paying thousands of dollars of tuition), they easily told you get out if you don't like their courses (of course there's no refund here). I wish theyd go to h***.

I called for information last spring saying I was interested in enrolling for fall. I was pushed and prodded to enroll right away. I was told most of my credits from ECU would transfer "no problem" - to go ahead and get started with the required courses and then all that business would be worked out. NONE of my credits transferred - NOT ONE of my 86 credits transferred. Then I was told if I wanted to appeal that I would have to write the school on each course taken and provide a comparison from the course catalog of both schools myself. I thought that was what the transfer review office was suppose to do. That's what I was told in the beginning. THEN - one of the two courses I was enrolled in had NO INSTRUCTOR for the first week. We were all freaking out not know what we suppose to be doing and not hainv gany idea that the instructor had quit. AND the other course I had requested to test out of but was refused that option - think that was totally money driven. And then to take that course I was told I needed software I didn't have and that would cost me over $200. THEN when my computer crashed I called but I couldn't get them to let me drop the courses via phone. Now they are trying to get money out of me that I refuse to pay. I learned nothing other than Florida Tech Online and University Alliance is a BIG SCAM. Beware.
Too much work

In accounting classes we have to write an essay every week to post on the message board and it was graded. They give excessive homework in accounting every week. All their instructors are contracted out from other schools. If you have 25-40 hours a week to study for just one class, it is a good school, otherwise find another on-line school. I will say this good thing about this school:They are ranked one of the best university in the country according to US News and World Report.
Beware.

This school is sneaky. I have recently withdrawn from this school because there are hidden legal issues. For example, I dropped from the school because I was scheduled to take a literature course. After signing up a paying for the course, I found that all paperwork had to be turned it turnitin. com. This may not be a big issue for some of you, but I do not like having to release my legal rights to the papers I create and that is exactly what turnitin. com requires. This 'college' does not inform you of this up front and it is nowhere in the student manual. Stay away!!!
