The scheduling and offering of classes is by far one of the top issues students have with the school.

***No, sorry, I’m not rating or reviewing the instructors at the school.  The problems with the school are beyond that.*** One thing that looks great is the fact that instructors at the school get rated during their classes.  Unfortunately, it has the utmost potential to be subjective.

Is College Worth It? Definitely not most of them!

In high school, I took one semester of Pre-Calculus.  It was the highest math I reached.  I don’t think I ever received less than an -A in any math classes.  I ended up only taking the one semester out of two because that class switched over to a long-distance learning… Continue reading
