Other than that, my experience at the school was good. It is important to call the fire department and/or the Dean (and everyone at the school) if they are doing something that poses a safety hazard. The school is usually careful about screening faculty, but obviously sometimes they will get one that should not be teaching.
The same faculty who was locking students in the classroom was asking some of the students personal questions such as how much money they were making, where they worked, and so on. Secondly, your instructor does NOT have the right to ask you any personal questions. Other than that, the overall experience at the school was good. It is a SAFETY HAZARD to lock the door and to lock students in the room. If that happens you need to complain to the dean and call the Fire department and report this. It is illegal for your faculty member to lock the door from the inside to prevent late students from coming in and to prevent people who need to use the restroom to come back in. I would have given the school a 5 star rating, but the 2 weeks of class with that faculty member (before she was fired) made me feel unsafe. You cannot lock students in a classroom so that people do not have access to come in. She locked the door so anyone coming in late (or people leaving to go to the bathroom) could not get back in. One instructor was fired half-way through the class because she locked the classroom (so no one could exit from the outside) which was illegal because it posed a safety hazard in case there was a fire. When each class is only 5 weeks, it makes it difficult when there are multiple instructors teaching the same course. Most of the faculty did a good job, though I ran into a few that didn't appreciate the fact that they had a job and didn't bother to show up. I did my Bachelors degree at a local Univ of Phoenix campus. If you want some credibility with your peers when your school comes up, it's better to say you went to a real campus classroom for a few years. I would not recommend a 100% online degree. So if that's an issue, spend a few more $ and go to a state school (sometimes wish I had done so). Overall, a good experience, but it does suck sometimes to evade where I went to school. More so than any of my previous colleges. Not only in knowledge, but in general teaching skills and in many cases, personality.
Also, about 20 percent of the teachers were off the charts awful. If you have the $ you're accepted, which sucks. And there are a LOT of people at UOP that are not college caliber. Team projects were constant and they're only as good as the people assigned to your group. All that aside, there were some negatives. can get you a commission in the military, so it's good enough. Unless you're planning to be a doctor or lawyer a degree is a degree as long as it's accredited. I needed an accredited degree for my job and mission accomplished. I graduated with a 4.0 and straight As for every class, so I have a sense the coursework compared to other schools is simpler as I'm normally a 3.5 student. Classes were convenient, shorter in length than your normal college, and I normally walked away a little smarter than when I started. I had two years at a variety of traditional, state colleges prior to wrapping up at UOP. "I completed my bachelors degree on campus with UOP and found it to be mostly a pleasant experience. I work for a well known Health Care Provider and my degree helped get me a promotion five months later after graduating." UoP was great for me and helped me become a better manager. I'm sure you've meet students like that and they never went far, even in their careers. They either didn't care and never participated in class discussions and wanted to leave early all the time and complained about life. Those that I've seen drop out or fail, it was no surprise as they were not committed. Let me just say, overall UoP was great for me because I wanted my degree and took it seriously. Online isn't bad, it's just not as good as being together. The true connection in being physically together is better than a "Face Time" or "Skype" education. I don't think the online experience is the same as attending on campus and physically being there with your classmates and professor. For profit and non profit both have advantages and disadvantages.
I went to a CC and attended a State College and didn't see this type learning environment to this degree. Overall, UoP creates thinking and shared real world experiences with your professors and other students in teams. Where professors fall short, the curriculum is what you can fall back on as the material is relevant to real world applications. Some professors are good and there are some not so good.
I graduated with a 3.8 GPA and it wasn't easy. Some students only care to just "Pass" and others succeed with success when tremendous effort is put in. As others have said before, you get what you put into the program.
