Phoenix Statistics Biology

[Samster]

Anyone have experience with the statistics course (MTH/217) at The University of Phoenix? Or the biology course (bio101 principles of biology)? I need these courses with a letter grade. I am looking for something as easy as possible. To be blunt I don’t need to learn the stuff I just need to get the credits. I am willing to pay more as long as it’s something that works and is on the easy side.
I want to know how doable or difficult it is.
Really what I want to know is what do people have against the University of Phoenix? If I am not there to get educated and the price is not an issue do you guys still discourage The UoP?

My objection to Phoenix and many others in the for-profit space has been their (relatively) high cost, low quality, and predatory recruiting practices. There have been many studies that have shown that schools like Phoenix spend less than half of the tuition received on instruction. In other words, the majority of the dollars that you pay in tuition go to things like non-educational overhead, advertising, stock buybacks, and dividends. 

So, if you don’t care about the cost, don’t care about (potentially) low quality instruction, apparently don’t care about supporting a company that historically has taken advantage of low-income individuals and veterans, then, go for it!  Sounds like a great place for you!

“I don’t need to learn stuff I just need the credit”. Yikes man, this isn’t the place for that.

Oh sorry, let me clarify!
That is not my usual attitude. It’s just that I need the course as a prerequisite for grad school, and the material has nothing to do with my masters.

Univ of Phoenix is Regionally Accredited, some of their programs have secondary programmatic accreditation as well, they're not recommended but is an option for undergrad. I am helping a student there right now finish his Associates & BSBA, I've informed him about the Big 3/competency based degree providers and also the reputation of U of P, but because of his work benefits, he has tuition assistance/reimbursement, then there is the ability to transfer 90 credits, plus the fact that the courses are short, and they're running a buy/pay 3, get one free, he's staying put with them until the end. His next goal is an MBA from Purdue Global, the excel track version which is competency based should be "easy" for him...

A plus for you, (Phoenix Fan) is that, their courses are somewhat easy, they're very transferable, and it gets the job done, all in all, you're just transferring it into your degree of choice or just using it for prerequisite into a Masters or another Graduate program... If you need the extra assistance in which ever course, be it Biology, Statistics, whatever, you can do extra studying on your own terms to get more familiar with it. I would spend more time on courses that interest me and major in those fields, but you should also get the credit/retain the knowledge of courses required for that degree.
