Not satisfied with your class, make UOP pay for it…

I talked to my academic counselor about my class, which ended Wednesday night, and after talking to her about how the class discussion ranged from Porn to sex offenders to South Park to Boob Jobs and then back to Porn, we decided that it was in my best interest to take the class again. As part of their “satisfaction guarantee” I can retake the class with a different instructor, and UOP pays for it.

 Imagine what would happen if all of the studnets who were unhappy with their education complained like this. UOP is losing out on $1200 when I take this class again. If half of the students in my class did that, UOP in the KC area would start to take notice. That instructor would probably not be back, because he hurts their bottom line to much.

If everyone is going to bash UOP for being a “for-profit” school, I say we use it to our advantage. The best way to hurt a normal school is to jeopardize their academic reputation. But when the company is out for money, the best way to impact them is to hit their pocket-book.

If you don’t like your class, tell someone about it. Talk to your academic counselor often and early. Give them specific examples of what was discussed and why you are unhappy. If they have to start scheduling make-up class sessions for all of these students, they will get the point across to their management.
