I attended online school through Emporia State University
out of Emporia, KS.where I received my M.S. in Educational
Administration. I had quite a bit of collaborative work
and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. I have often stated
that I learned more doing my masters online than I did in
my undergrad at UCF. I LOVED IT!!! It was hard work and
one must be disciplined to learn in this modality.

That being said; guess who I work for now? You guessed
it! University of Phoenix. To be honest with you ...I do
not know how some of these students get through it. The
university has very high standards and some students treat
it like elementray school. One of my classes has dropped
down to 11 students from 20. Why? Because the university
does not allow for truancy. Students simply will go to the
chat room and post a checking in post and expect to pass.
WHAT???? I don't think so! The school drops them before I
have to break the news that they will not pass! I guess
you can say that I know within the first 2 weeks who will
be successful and who won't.

These websites not only give UOP a bad name, but every
university that offers online learning as a choice. And
most major universities offer this learning modality as a
choice these days. So stop trashing UOP as it is a great
school that offers onsite and online learning. No matter
your choice in institutions, you do not just get a diploma
for paying the tuition. YOU MUST WORK FOR IT!!!!

I apologize for any typos as my fingers get ahead of my
brain sometimes.
