The University of Phoenix dba or aka Apollo Group out of Phoenix, AZ, advertises you get your degree in three years or less. Not so. They pick and choose what credits they will accept from another college, usually about 3 to 6, the remaining requirements to obtain a degree are required to be taken from the university.
There are no accommodations to complete homework if you do not have access to a computer you are out-of-luck. Books are on-line and have to be read nightly about three or four chapters nightly, if not more. It is crammed studying, rather hard for working people, unless you are a government employee that has access to computer and can use work time as study time. Students are taught mainly by other students, called team-members. Your grades and education rely on how well your team responds to your needs, are they intelligent or whether they even care if you succeed or not.
Students cheat in that psychologically, there are those students who speak to the professors privately before and after class, relating as to how vast their intelligence level is. The student/s basically promote themselves to achieve the best grade possible and step on anyone that gets in their way.
Instructors (not all) encourage student competition by way of public humiliation during presentations. One instructor even gave her own personal derogatory comments at the conclusion of each student completed a speech, further encouraging disparaging statements from the students sitting and listening to presentations.
When applying for admission no explains that since all your credits will not be accepted, a potention student does not know how much money to budget for in borrowing or requesting for financial assistance.
Books purchased are costly. Office help shows a bias as does the study text. The study text uses the NY Times as their principal source of accurate, unbiased information. The curriculim data (required reading), encourages a liberal view of the United States of America, promoting a type of brain-washing, to forego traditional family values and embrace a more united world concept embracing that which is not of original Americanism.
The more consertive school of thought is demonized and discouraged. Rather than providing issues and discussion, only one view is continual throughout the various courses of study. "Save the whales" but allow people to starve (school of thought). Hug a tree to save the environment but keep using your gas or desiel guzzling automobile. It is enough to make a person puke! Any self respecting American citizen with an ounce of patriotism and love for our Country would throw up (or maybe sue a few corporations), on the filth being taught at this university.
I think that the school is so money based that everyone is doing it for the money and disregard any loyality to the country that gives them the freedom to print and teach young minds to turn their backs on America and God. For example: in printed text "if you cannot prove there is a God, then God does not exist."
Once you are tied in you have to keep with it dishing out enormous amounts of money to complete the degree process. Every change or mode of obtaining a grade is money based; everything at the University of Phoenix is $Money$based. It is a multi-million dollar enterprize. Come on people how much learning can you cramm in to some of our brains in three hours a week class time. Maybe it works for geniuses but not for average Joes like most of us.
