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

Susan

The only thing I really do not like about my school is the only break we get between classes is two weeks during Christmas. If you want any other breaks between classes you must request them.

You are online, so there is no one to explain things right away if you have a question. You can get help, but it takes time. Also, there is no one there to get you motivated, remind you about your homework, etc. You have to be a self-starter, but that's how real life is. You need to spend a few hours a day on the computer, and sometimes that is not easy to do for some people, for one reason or another.

Since I attend an online program, the worst thing about it is that I am not able to talk and meet with my fellow classmates face to face.

Timothy

The worst thing about my school is primarily the debt we are left with oweing the Gov. after school is paid with what we are granted for loans from FAFSA; the education to me still seems worth it.

Pamela

A student needs constistant computer and internet access.

Brian

The worst thing about completing coursework online is that the course work is completed online. The online experience would occassionally suffer from internet server outageous that occur near the due date period of many assignments; or, for the resources necessary to complete those assignments. Furthermore, many students fail to take the coursework seriously enough to put forth their best effort despite completing assigned tasks below par as stated according to the syllabus. Lastly, several instructors would prove inflexible in their interpretation of the syllabus or accepting alternate interpretations to the syllabus.

Rita

I really don't think there is anything bad about my school. I just started this last year. So far everything is ok. This had been hard for me because I have been out of school for over 30 years.

Jennifer

Not talking to your instructors face to face.

Jonathan

I don?t consider anything worse about my school. If I had to pick one, I would pick that even when you are in the hospital, most professors would not accept late work at all even if it is a day late. I was in the hospital for sinus issues and posted my assignment the next day, and the professor would not even take it after I spent about 3-4 hours on the work. Being online and not in the classroom, many teachers do not know what is going on physically.
