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?
