Your experience at California Coast University? Interested in $21k doctorate.

Sorry I just saw this. It is not worth the time. There is very little education that goes on. I have written for numerous trade, technical, and scientific journals, yet I was told I do not write like a doctor. I spent another $10K to take a writing program to teach me how to write like a doctor.

Did I write that? Hahaha. I had the same situation at a different school. I have a number of publications under my belt also, but according to one professor who behaved like a complete unprofessional jerk just because I asked very polite questions about some feedback she left (you should've seen her email response, smh), I wasn't writing at a graduate level. Mind you, I already had two grad degrees both with 4.0 GPAs, lol. But what I've found is, once we become as educated as many of us are here, we can easily spot baloney in the feedback we receive. When we question it, we do it in a courteous way but we nail down the details in a manner where we expose the faults in the feedback. The professor knows you've exposed the faults, and it angers them.

Some people really shouldn't be teaching. If you can't explain your feedback or justify the points you've taken away, then just don't do either. Otherwise, you're, at best, operating in a gray area of ethics. At worst, you're just being a blatantly unethical douche.

I at one point had considered Calcoast for the EdD in Educational Psychology but when I researched further it seems they are a little behind on their distance education teaching strategies. I think you have to mail in your work and your quizzes. Plus, you have to go in-person for the dissertation defense. Those were put offs for me for a distance education program.

Everything is online.
