Ok I placed a request for more information in to University of Phoenix (UOP) in April 2009. I received a call from Tina on Friday who asked me what I wanted to go to school for and did I want online or campus. I told her campus. She immediately sent me a link to my email and told me to choose a log on it I would be able to see how the classes look. That was the first trick she was signing me up. Once I saw that I stopped the process. She called me back the next day and said why haven't you finished. I told her I was not sure if I wanted to attend she said thats fine lets just see what you are eligible for and what you will need if you dont get enough money or you need to many classes you will not need to go. I said ok It sound fair but the next day She called and told me that everything looked good all my credits where accepted and I would start on Tuesday. I was shocked I explained to her that I just received notice that I was layed off. She said thats no problem you need to go to school to help you get a job. That sound good to. Ok so I began with the orientation and then my first class. There is truly no screening for the students at least not at that time. I started with a small class. So the entire class was One learning team. Thats the worst part of the school One team member didn't understand how to use a computer at all she couldn't type and didn't understand how to do research. When an assignment was given she just copied directly from our tesk book and handed it to me hand written. The other person just came up with excuses and the other two just didn't do anything so everything truly laid on me. Once you got into the higher level classes they began to give exams which was fine with me, but the teachers where not all very good. Some never covered the material thats in the book some went on and on about there personal experiences. I did have a few good teachers that actually taught but when that happened usually a large amount of the students just didn't catch on and some kind of way they passed the class. That's when I truly got angry and started to look for another school. I can take two classes at University of Baltimore for the price of one class at Phoenix. If you want to teach yourself and babysit and possibly teach your supposed to be peers than this is your school but if you don't like getting stuck then go some where else. I havent mentioned that the classes are about 5 weeks long and you have at least 2 papers due a week. one team and one individual. Your first night of class you have a paper due before you get taught. Its odd but its true. The Fees are outrageous the books are all digital but you can not save them. It's just awful. Don't do it.
