Wow, this DeVrone character writes nothing but amusing posts! WalMart is a “800 pound Gorilla [sic]“, but nobody accuses them of providing quality service. Size does not correlate with quality, although where there is a correlation, it is usually the inverse – large institutions become bogged down in their own bureaucracy. Learn some inferential reasoning skills, for Pete’s sake!

I know this is an old post, but if I am reading it there is a chance others are as well. In my entire collegiate career (BS University of Wisconsin 126 credits, Phoenix College 24 credits I have never seen someone from administration sit in on a class to monitor it for quality. The only “quality control” I am aware of are the surveys handed out at the completion of each course.

If you consider being the 800 pound Gorilla in an industry a bad product then you sir are smokin’ something. UOP leads the for profit education world by leaps and bounds in the markets with proven business techniques. Not all instructors are created equal, but you must realize that the whole quality bit is really in your court. Just observe how the system is designed and you will get it. You are smart. Stay positive. It will all make sense when you least expect it.

Dude, they do monitor classes. I know that because I had a new instructor who did not know what he was doing. He was a first timer. However, I was unimpressed with the quality of some of the classes.

Hey, I work for another school system that offers an online modality. I can only speak for my school here. I have a friend that monitors all of the classes, including the instructor posts, reviews the curriculum, and a number of things that are required in the class.
Can I ask, if you are unhappy why do you stay?
