Excelsior College - The Same Education at Triple the Price

[sanantone]

I often disagree with the people who laud the use of adjuncts because they are usually current in their fields. I like having professors who are current on the latest research. The adjuncts often don't have a lot of time for their students because they work full-time jobs.

Colorado Testicle University did have live chat sessions, but I didn't find much value in them. I did find some value in the taped lectures in an English Comp II course I eventually dropped since TESC was going to give me credit for a writing course I took at Western Insidious University. But, it seems like I'm very different from most people. While some of the lectures in my PhD program can be a little intriguing, I have no use for them. What I've discovered in a couple of courses, though, is that lectures can allow you to just completely skip reading the textbook because the exams were more based on the lectures than the readings. Unfortunately, this led to watering down of the subject matter. If they ever offer online courses, I will enroll in them in a heartbeat.

I do have to admit that I did like Pearson's My CJ Lab, but when I had to use it for a course, I was only paying $54 per credit hour.
