THIS IS NOT AN ACCREDITATED SCHOOL.

I support free education. But this is nothing. It's google material posted together to seem like education. Education is based on the concept of "Guidance" through research material, so the student can learn. You are being shown cheap open library materials that are content subjects meant for Middle School, not even high school level reading.

They lie about accreditation. DEAC IS NOT AN ACCREDITING BODY. It's an organization that just says. "yes, this is an online school". They do not look at the curriculum or any other subjective content being taught in the classes.

Peer assessments is LITERALLY the blind leading the blind. Imagine being graded by a person with no education themselves, being from a nation that doesn't speak English, then expecting them to understand how to grade a person's paper or essay without knowing anything themselves. I have a Ph.D. I write at a higher level than undergrad. I've run complex international operations and have done research documents that are longer than their entire student-written discussion boards... Combined...

They claim their program is self-paced. It used to say, "Get your degree done in a matter of months or cut your attendance in half..." When you attend. You are locked in each week or material, you can't move ahead. It's 100% false advertisement. You will spend maybe 1 hour a week in each class to complete their work. Then spend the entire week doing nothing, waiting for access to the next week. THERE IS LITERALLY NO SUBSTANCE AT ALL to education... There is no challenge, there is no content that is current. It's all simplified nonsense posted together to seem like education, but it's hardly fit for Middle-aged youth. Not for Adults trying to learn skills for a career aspect.

Education is about challenging a person to think FAR beyond their current understanding of a topic. This "place" (which is not even a school) just gives a few basic details and leaves the student wanting more and needing more to use the information in a real world scenario.

$80,000 for an Associates degree, that explains it all right there. It's a scam online school with no real world training informatics to help students get work.
