How do you feel about your online college?

[bluebooger]

CLEPs and DSSTs are sometimes the easy way out

so many times I've come on here and read a post where someone is bragging about how all they did was use the InstaCert flash cards the night before the CLEP and then went in and passed it easily

that actually pisses me off when I read that

hey, if someone wants to exam cram and forget everything a week after the test I guess that's their choice
there are plenty of students at "real" schools that do that too

but I certainly don't think its anything to brag about

I would think someone would have enough intellectual curiosity to pick up a book or watch a couple of youtube videos

I realize people are busy, but are they so busy they can't watch a "crash course" video ? or read a "dummies" book ?

it's crap like that that gives independent study a bad name

I studied my ass off for the CLEP Intro to Psych even though I'm sure its one of the exams that's cram possible

brag about studying, brag about actually learning something, then brag about passing -- even if its just by one point
nobody should brag about exam cramming their way to a degree
