University of the People Experiences

[SweetSecret]

I took classes there. I had one of my favorite teachers there in the MBA program, but also my least liked... because of lack of any significant interaction. The first one was amazing though and I actually ended up taking a class that I didn't even need, but has been dumped into during their automatic registration. I did not appreciate the peer grading system for various reasons. The fact that the school has students internationally has both good and bad points. It makes group projects even more challenging, but it's also great for networking. I would definitely be willing to do volunteer teaching there and the future but unless a person is really struggling financially I would say to go elsewhere for graduate classes. My overall experience at ACE was significantly better just by the lack of peer grading, video content, and their quality of forum content among students. I definitely appreciate what UoPeople is trying to do though.
