There is no way I would ever get a degree from a school with such a bad name.

Reviews say "Horrible"...

1: Some instructors are lazy: they generate LJ feedback via chatGPT, there is no instructor graded stuff besides LJ on some courses. Comparative programming for example, we do not even have programming assignments to submit. All you do is write discussion forum entries, get graded by peers, and you grade other entries of which some are either purely written by chatGPT or its written is a very difficult to understand english. (I can literally see if its chatGPT generated from looking at it. Conclusion: While some instructors really invest their time, some literally do nothing.

2: Peer grading: What the ? You get graded by your peers, they might say "Good job, everything is perfect" and still give you 7/10 or 8/10 or even worse. A lot of peer submissions sometimes are incomplete. For example, the PA has 5 Questions, peers only provide 1 Answer. Or the answers are purely generated by chatGPT. You might think, what do I care? Well, this gets boring and demotivating. So, grading poor work is a pain in the [insert word], and being graded by some of the people is also tiring. Constructive feedback is always welcome.

3: Content and books: Some are 30 years old. Some books are are scans without without OCR (You can not ctrl + F and look, you pretty much have to read the hole chapter to find what you look for).

4: Website is so broken and slow. Even moodle is buggy too.

5: Sometimes things on Self Quizzes or Graded Quizzes are not even covered by course material. And sometimes, graded quiz questions and self quiz questions are not even related.

6: Did not get regional accreditation and might not get it for a long time, which makes the degree useless for immigration purposes.

How the hell does a school get RA accredited with "peer-grading"? Did they pay off the accreditation institution?

DF Moderator Review...

I am really unhappy here.

My instructor mentor said I am not to:
* Dock points for plagiarism.
* Dock points for blatant chatgpt [Insert Name Here].

I got in trouble for not responding 3 times. My mentor requires a response Monday, Wednesday, Friday to students. But, all my students posted on Thursday/Friday. But, because I didn't post on Monday & Wednesday to "respond" to students it doesn't count.

I am to coach all students on AI use and plagiarism when found. About 35 of my 42 students are doing this. This is a lot to communicate to back/forth and of course its denied. Even when I show them their coursehero or studocu document they copied/pasted directly.

The peer reviews are bad. Half the students are going through and marking every discussion board as 0. So now I have to go and "adjust" everything.

My mentor is bitching at me every day with 4-5 emails that are 10-15 paragraphs long with a fake degreemill PhD for not "doing enough".

I was told by my mentor I should put student papers into ChatGPT and let it grade so I can be faster.

Apparently, me, actually highlighting, leaving actual comments, and real feedback on essays, etc, is not acceptable to this university. The mentor suggested I copy/paste responses for similar work and not cater to individuals.

No wonder most grad schools don't take this degree anymore.

This school is a mess. A huge mess.

Since I am an IT Hiring manager for a billion dollar company I am officially rejecting all applicants with a "degree" from this school. This is a joke.
