Re: University of Phoenix
Posted by Graduate Student on 2/14/07

    The University of Phoenix established some negative rumor through
    producing students, in the early years, that were considered by local
    businesses, here in Albuquerque, to be improperly trained/not
    qualified. I heard these rumors and chose to ignore them and attend
    the university. It truly is hard to have an opinion that is not
    biased when attending the university. I feel that the online program
    is very difficult and rigorous, maybe to the extent there is too much
    information flowing (no retention). I am now attending the ground
    campus which has been a tremendous learning experience, through the
    good and the bad.
    The public opinion, from people I have met and friends, is still not
    up to par with other universities and institutions. Yet, there has
    been a shift in their credibility through more stringent programs and
    vigorous activities.
    I am reaching the end of my tenure at the University of Phoenix and
    have experienced one unique class, that has been disorganized and
    chaotic. I believe that a syllabus should not be changed three or
    four times due to the whims of the professor. I believe this is
    actually, a breech of contract (against the law), and above all,
    unprofessional. Due to my boisterous ways, I may not graduate because
    of my complaints. Is this wrong? Keep in mind, the University of
    Phoenix is a "for profit" university and has different guidelines than
    a public university.
    We'll see, yet a contract is an agreement between parties establishing
    a guideline for a course. The question is, should ANY university be
    allowed to change a contract between student and professor midstream?
