Fraudulent School and Staff
Well, I have a degree from UoP. I have my AA in Criminal Justice. My experience? My professors were minimally involved in my education, but having been home schooled most of my life, I was used to doing most of my work on my own. My financial and academic advisers? Like most of you, they were impossible to get a hold of. I would call for days and days, leaving messages every time, and hear back maybe 3-5% of the time? The only time I got real help was when my mom died at the beginning of my program, and my dad died toward the end. Then I was allowed to drop the classes without charge and take a couple of weeks to mourn and bury my parents. That is the ONLY positive thing I can say about the whole experience.
The work? Easy. Hardly what I expected from a college. The only classes I had trouble with were my math classes. My fellow students? I proved that one of my classmates had ripped off about 40% of his work from a website, and he still finished that class with us. Here's an example of the quality of work I saw from most of my classmates-
Q. Why is plagiarism wrong?
Most common answer?
"Because it is stealing." -_-' Really?! That's the best people can come up with? And somehow they managed to take 150-200 words to say it?!?!?!?! My answer to that question was about 350 words long and talked about robbing people of new ideas and how new ideas can lead to discovery or new ways of thinking. It took me no more than 10 minutes to come up with my answer. And the spelling errors! The lack of punctuation! It looked like something my 8 year old niece would write!!! So not only were the answers worthless, but they couldn't even be bothered to spell check!
I graduated with a 3.6 (Yes, I failed my math classes, but to be fair I really, REALLY suck at math!!!) and have a lovely $25, 000 (35 counting interest) piece of paper that employers think is worthless. I wouldn't go back to that school for anything.
