Diploma Mills

(02-03-2018, 10:09 PM)posabsolute Wrote: I'm pretty sure this particular conversation has come up a lot over the years. The social expectation from a bachelor is 4 years spent "butt in seat" at an average university. When you tell someone you acquire your degree in another way you can get a range of reactions, from thinking that it is actually pretty cool, to someone being pissed off because he did put 4 years and now feel cheated off.

To be honest, I had a hard time understanding macroeconomics and applied accounting material over at study.com, I still passed the course and the exam on the first try. No way this would have happened in a normal class setting. All of this isn't stopping me from earning A's currently in my capstone.

This degree may help you in many ways, but you need to understand what you are getting and how to play its strengths and weaknesses.

I cannot stay around for very long due to time pressures, however, most people who are sensible are not putting their butts in a seat, but putting their work on their computer page. I have attended the University of Toledo, Southern New Hampshire University, and a few others before I had the opportunity to finish at this time. My daughter, who is attending Franklin University in our own town, is completing her MBA entirely online. She had also graduated from the University of Toledo and the only time she, one of my sons who attended, and I had to step in was for graduation. On another occasion when we lived in Toledo, my daughter utilized the library for a test. Whether you attended courses live via technology at Harvard (who does that now, too, with some courses as well as has classes entirely online), Franklin University, UT, or any other place,  or if your work is primarily  or completely online, it is still studies - sometimes, it is more intense. Thus, if anyone asks the question again, let them know that you are maximizing the use of your schedule by doing your work close to home in this new age of the Internet. For those of us who have vast undocumented knowledge, testing out is the best way to go. I am proud of you for your tenacity to finish your degree.
