I would recommend this university for online or classroom learning. The only negative experience I had was with one professor who was bias towards me. I never found out the truth. I was upset but it was a learning experience. Instructors should look out for the best interest of the student and be helpful, not harmful. The group assignments are challenging, especially when one connected believe they are always right and the best.
I completed the international version of UOP Masters program and a Bachelor in Engineering at a traditional School. My work involved a lot of travel both domestic and international so it was impossible for me to attend a regular school. The coursework was challenging and most of the professors have experience working for big companies.
Most of my classmates were working professionals and some of them have one or more masters degrees. The school is expensive but is not easy, I spend between 10 to 15 hours each week reading,writing papers and answering questions.My overall experience was excellent and is paying back.If you are a working professional who can't attend traditional schools online school is the best option.
Its been 5 years since I've been enrolled in this school I tried going back and they told me I had to 1500 to go back to that school.I was like wow they hold a balance for that long just to try to enroll back to this school I was so disappointed and was so ready to start back I was able to do work without any problems.
My title truly ecompasses the University of Phoenix. I think the people that enjoyed their experiences at the University of Phoenix are people who either gained a degree in a field where a generic education sufficed, or they never attended an actual university (and may not even have a high school diploma) and believe what they achieved is actually an accomplishment. In reality, the professors aren't qualified to teach most classes, have very little teaching experience, and provide very little useful material to your career.
Additionally, make sure you look into the cost per class prior to enrolling. Often, it is far more expensive than a better qualified university.
I don't understand why all the complaints unless you are having issues doing your part of the team work. I have completed a Bachelor's degree and Master's degree at UoP and NEVER missed one team assignment. I admit that I had been the leader often but I like to be that person.
Finally, in my last class my grandmother passed away (she was like my mother as she took care of me when I was a child). I had to make a trip to Europe and had my individual work done but my team assignment I was unable to do. I ended with a 0 on my team assignment so my GPA went from a 3.72 to a 3.56. This was my fault and goes to show that instructors are fair.
Turn in your evaluation forms on your team as you should and let it rest. That person will get what they deserve and No, you will not be told. That is against educational laws. GREAT EXPERIENCE!!
