So I have been neglectful in posting to this, but I am now in my last class. The CIS course, and we are in week 4. I will be turning in my last UOP individiual assignment tonight. I should feel relieved that I have finally made it. Even exstatic that I will soon be receiving my degree. But the truth is that I still feel like I have wasted money, and time.
I have the following advice for those studnets who are considering attending UOP. Do your research. I am not saying that it is not appropriate for some people. I am not saying that there are not good experiences, and good instructors. I am saying that in my experience those cases are rare. So you need to do your homework and make sure you know what you are getting into. Ask existing students to see homework samples. Ask to sit in a observe a class or two. Bounce between classrooms.
Then compare that to other schools. Find the hardest school you visited and go there. It will be hard, and you may not have the perfect GPA, but you will learn more. And that is the point.
