University of Phoenix-Online Campus Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about University of Phoenix-Online Campus? Why?

Paulla

LEARNING TEAMS. While I understand the need for team involvement with school, because I attend the online environment of University of Phoenix this concept is LUDICROUS. It's extremely, extremely frustrating having to work on project with people you cannot talk to face to face.

Pamela

Being a professional college for career oriented people, the expectation of some instructors can exceed the bandwidth of students based on their professional responsibilities.

Michelle

The expense is the worst thing about my school. I feel that I enjoy my learning experience, but attending a 4 year college is expensive. I want to be well educated however the expense is difficult to manage.

Kira

I consider the lack of teacher and student interaction to be the worst thing about my school. I am a hands on learner who prefers to be taught by my intructor; however, our intructors don't teach us they focus more on asking questions. I've noticed as my classes get harder, the teachers are even less likely to "teach" us a subject. The classes are all about reading the chapters and answering the questions from the text, so it can be difficult to get the benefits that being in a classroom can give you.

Kristin

It is not always possible to get immediate, direct feedback from your instructors. To ask a question, you must submit it online and wait for the instructor to respond. This means you must plan ahead each week and be prepared to not always complete the task at hand in one sitting.

Lori

Attending an online campus is different than a traditional one. It takes longer to get responses from classmates and teachers. However, there are many resources available to help with your studies, such as online tutors, access to counseling, university library, labs, and so on. To attend an online school you need to be an independent student who can complete their work without someone hanging over your shoulder.

Melanie

The worst thing about school for me is not having the time to go to a classroom. I really like going to school. So I am hoping the online format will be a good substatute.

Terry

The financial advisor telling me two weeks before the next class that I have out of pocket costs. And asked how much more I need to complete my degree I get no answers. The tuituon has raised several times since I started 4 years ago. I feel it should have been locked in instead of forcing me to run out of funds before I get my degree.

Paquita

I feel as thought their is nothing negataive to say about this school at this point.They are very realiable and consistant.

Stacey

I think the only thing that can be challenging is not being in a classroom setting.
