University of Phoenix-Online Campus Top Questions

I have nothing bad to say about the school I am attending.

The worst thing is that there is no interaction with other students. When you are doing a team project you have to wait for a team member to respond to you which can take days.

The lack of face to face class participation.

While I believe that the University of Phoenix is a great place to get an education, the one drawback is that you do not get to see who you are interacting with. Inflection and enthusiasm do not translate well over the internet, but if you are self-motivated and can do without face-to-face interaction, you'll be fine. There are phone calls, but again, you never get to see who you are talking to. It may seem trivial, but these people are so helpful that being able to see them would be great.

The worst thing I can think of about my school is the recent change that was made by removing the syllabus and course calendar from the Class Materials section of the website and having the instructor responsible for posting it after class starts. This leaves little preparation time for assignments that are due on the first and second day of class, especially when a student is also working full time.

The worst thing about my school is that it's main campus is in Arizona, so I have to communicate with my professors and advisors over the phone or though e-mail instead of seeing them face-to-face.

Nothing

While my work schedule requries online learning, I wish I could be in a classroom again. I feel I am missing out on great discussion in an online learning environment. I miss learning from people one on one, in person. It's difficult to have student camaraderie and interaction.

I don't consider there to be a downside at this point - that may change, but I doubt it.

The worse thing about my school is probably the cost of it. It is quite a bit more expensive than attending physical classes at my local university, however the degree program and the flexibility are great.
