University of the People Experiences

[nykorn]

Anyone take U of People MEd Advanced Teaching that has an endorsement from IB.org?  I was wondering how their courses are like for that particular program, it's the only NA IB.org endorsed program I think, it's the only degree from U of People that actually interests me, the rest don't yet until they get RA if they do get it at all...

I am enrolled in it. From the 4 courses I took, there was nothing actually specific to IB except for that they occasionally have you read some online pages written by IB about how "great" IB is. As a person who used to be roommates with IB students, and who has seen a lot of descriptions of their schools from students who have a foreign parent and thus got sent to IB schools instead of the country's normal local schools, I know that the stuff IB actually writes about their schools is reaaaally not accurate. I have no idea why IB endorsed this except for publicity purposes.

You don´t have Group Assignment Instructions at the BSCS (and maybe they don´t have it in the other bachelor programs), so I guess they haven´t configured it properly.

And yes, UoPeople doesn´t send digital transcripts:

Not sending a digital transcript is odd but fine. What is NOT fine is telling a student that an unofficial digital transcript - sent by the student themselves no less - will be accepted by a university admissions office in lieu of an official digital transcript. (This advisor also did not tell me to order a physical copy, btw)
