University of the People Experiences

[nykorn]

As an example of the one assignment I can remember that was entirely about IB, we just had to go to the IB website, read their mission statement and education philosophy on their official website, and then discuss it. We may or may not have had to discuss if some historical educational philosophy like from John Dewey directly related to that IB philosophy / statement. I don't mean to be rude but I felt more like it was a form of corporate brainwashing (like when you read job advertisements where McDonalds tries to tell you it's a fantastic life-changing place to work) instead of a way of helping us improve as teachers.

My official academic advisor for the Master's... told me Uopeople can't send digital transcripts to any other institution...

I have just been informed by another student that this information is incorrect. To send a digital transcript: Log in to your main student account. Go to self-service forms > Request for Transcripts and Documents > Physical Copy > Click through everything as if you were going to order 1 physical copy, fill out your personal address, and then on the very last screen before payment there is a "hidden" option for you to send a 3rd party institution an Emailed digital version of the official transcript instead of a physical. The cost of a digital is the same as ordering a normal physical version ($15).
