I have no issue with the school using a grader. I guess after taking classes at Straighterline, I grew accustomed to the concept.
The reason I opted out of Patten on my first try was that I found it frustrating (not to mention unhelpful) to have a professor who keeps offering to help but canât give you much guidance on the final exam or the project. So I left.
After trying a traditional online class I realize how much I dislike required forums and being graded for "class attendance." Doing a project and taking a final seem more pertinent to mastering the material.
