I am currently attending UOP, as is my husband. we are both criminal justice students. I am a stay at home mother of three children and 26 year old. My husband is a full time construction worker. I remember first starting and saying to myself the course work should not be this easy- either I am smarter than I thought I was or this is just too easy. Now I am in my junior year and I feel at time I have to be at the top of my class. The majority of students I encounter cannot even work their spell cheker (which happens to be appropriately attached to the post box) much less figure out what a full length APA formatted paper is supposed to look like. And these are the student I will graduate with. I fear my degree will be useless. I have worked so hard and I will not be lumped up with a bunch of degenerates. Who is UOP aimed for? Teh students UOP is aimed to target includes those with time constraints preventing them from attending the traditional university. A moving and wonderful concept. However, truth e told the standards of grading averages has ever so diligently began slipping over the years and UOP has taken a huge chunk out of what an A truely is. I have had otehrs in my class I have said there is no way this person is going to pass- his or her DQ answers are not even aimed towards the question- what do hot dogs have to do with search and seizure? However, I will be shocked when I see the same individual progressing to my next class with me. Very disturbing. UOP does have to step up and ask their professors to stop dishing out A's to every dummy who at least participates in class. I know I will be attending a local University come time for my Master's degree and my law degree. I need a challenge no professor at U O P can give me...... I have to say I somewhat agree with you.
