FYI, looks like you're implying TESU for a 3rd bachelors. They won't admit you after 2, unfortunately.

Thanks!  Smile

It would be my 2nd, but that's ok right?  Huh

So I was able to transfer in a few classes (honestly, it should have been more but I didn't feel like fighting with them past the four round of "but these are the same exact courses!" emails) and I was able to reduce it from 13 courses (which is a LOT as far as a masters goes) to 8. I am looking at this program as a way to get professional development points for my teaching certification renewal. At $200 a class, its worth it for that. The international students' perspectives are definitely the highlight of the program. The written assignments and discussion board posts are peer graded (so essentially 60% of your grade) which I have an issue with. I have had points deducted for several things that should have received full marks, but in order to get a re-grade by the professor, you have to defend your rationale - so essentially write another paper saying why the first one was worth a higher grade. There is also a 0 tolerance policy with late work, which I find absurd (even if you're in the hospital, you have to take the 0 for your assignments). Basically, I am not concerned with trying to graduate cum laude and I am happy to take the recert points, plus the fact that I will be able to teach at an IB school is a major perk for me. Would I recommend this to anyone who had other viable options? No. Would I recommend this to anyone who was in a similar position as myself, sure.
