I got this email the other day from a success coach at Excelsior College about a new coaching app:
"
Excelsior is committed to offering you a full range of support to help you succeed. As part of this, youâre invited to join other Excelsior learners in using uCoach, a free mobile app that helps you stay connected with your Success Coach through text. Youâll also get key reminders and insider tips to help you reach your goals. Sign up for your account today."
Has anyone heard of this or tried it? I wonder if other colleges will be launching similar initiatives.

They're doing everything but updating their circa 2005-2010 website.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.

I know neither of you are responsible, but I want to make some sort of glass houses comment. 2005 is still a decade ahead of where instantcert is..

If any part of the IC website is only a year or two old, they got ripped off big time, but I was talking about the flashcard "webapp" itself which is using 1990s technology.

Their infrastructure of keeping things running seems to be great, as they rarely have down times; however, who ever they have designing their layout needs to be let go of. Everything is so 90's ish. Its most likely someone who was educated on web design in the 90s, who haven't kept their skills up with the times.
But have y'all seen Charter Oak website? Its worse. :leaving:
