UoPeople WASC Accredited 2/14/2025

However, I still think for the price, the school is an ABSOLUTE bargain, (especially if they keep it after RA), it literally changed my life and opened so many doors for me (which I think it is their original mission).

How is it a bargain when you can get a degree from UMPI for $1700 which is an established well known school? I know which one I would rather have on my resume and it is not the commie named one.

Erm if you're comparing it to UMPI YourPace for 1 session, UoPeople would still be cheaper if you were transfer 90 from sophia, with 30 credit remaining 117 bucks each for each 3 = 1170 (+ Sophia cost). So that's not really a point to contend, I dont' disagree with you on the name as stated earlier.

Are peer reviews really so big problem (besides most students annoyed by them)? I only did one class, no clue about rest. But peer reviews formed only small part of the final grade, so I didn't even bother asking professor to regrade low marks that were result of cultural differences (the well known 5/10 - great job, people from some countries simply have different cultural patterns engraved). Does the influence on the grade increase later on?
University of Texas I believe has or had peer reviews, there must be others as I have read these complaints elsewhere too.
There are RA universities that don't have any proctored exams.
BSc degree with 75% credits transferred is $1415 (less for those who enrolled earlier, they don't increase fees for old students). UMPI for $1700, not everybody can devote the time or has preexisting knowledge etc. to manage it in 1 term, also they don't have eg. CS degree (yet), not sure about others.

I still refuse to call them "Peers", they are "other student reviews", and it has been absolutely hell. In fact one of the main reasons they failed their WASC acred last visit was their stubborness (while really it's just financial interest) to keep them, they had to scale them back significantly.
1) Other "students" 3+ will reply and rate your discussion post (every week), most of them will say something very nice and yet give you a 7 or 8 (it's kinda a stupid model really cause you are asking yoru "competitors" (eventhough there is no competition) to be fair to you. (this is about 5%-10%) of the course grade.
2) Other "students" will rate your assignment every week, this is actually a huge problem cause instructors don't, assignments are the core of the courses and most "students" are not equipped not linugistically or progammatically capable of doing so.
Furthermore the rubric sometimes could NOT be vaguer, and heavily APA focused even in UL CS classes, and is structured like this:
:Rate 1-5 the student APA adherence:
Most people would give you 1-5.
3) Your OWN GPA suffers if you spot a plagisiarizer, cause you get 90/100 for your own assignment grade and 10/100 you get for grading another 3 students assignments, so if I spot a plagi, I 0 them on all answers (as the uni asks to), but then the others don't, ergo my score deviated a lot so I get a 5/10 grade for grading.
This got so bad in my latest years that the Uni removed the plagiarism complaint tool alltogether, and asked us to complain to our instructors instead. Obviously this overwhelmed the already underpaid instructors, and mostly destroyed their response relationship with you (and the few other class "nerds" like myself) that didn't like this.
4)   ok I'll digress here cause this is dredging up a lot of repressed vietnam level memories xD.
