As I have said, professors were great for the most part. A couple of the small 2 credit courses were treated like 2nd jobs and then they would nail you with a 10 page paper. When I had my beginning programming class, it should have been a finalization program to give you a taste of the terminology and creating motion. The professor was a complete perfectionist and would look to mark points off, without giving advice on what to do right. He was honestly out to fail people. What's really bad is that he was the only person who taught the class so people would get failed again! That was the beginning of the end for me.
Great flexibility and lots of opportunities to get assistance with assignments and tutoring. The lectures were interesting and the professor's seem to actually care about your succuss! I was quite impressed with my whole experience.
One would probably think that because this is an online school, there wouldn't be as many job or intern opportunities, but that would be further from the truth. Most companies that I have either applied to, or have talked to is quite impressed that I am able to attend a reputable online university, and is able to do really well in it. From this school, I have gotten several job interviews, and a lot of good possibilities for the future. There is also a career center that set students up with professionals who is dedicated to helping them get internships, job interviews, and hopefully help find jobs. I am very satisfied with it with this University.
