I just need to vent a bit. And I also know why I am here.
I know none of us are here to expect Harvard, and most of us knew what we wanted and just want to get it over with and move on with ourlives. We all wanted accredited school, low cost, time-flexible, and man isn't UMPI yourpace sweet in that.
But man some of the courses I've finished felt like it was put together in one semi-drunk afternoon. The content was either a series of youtube link that was 7 years old, a link to a blog on either investopedia/betterup/atalassian. Like, thanks for choosing and vetting(which I admit has some real value) my youtube feed for me?
And also there is just broken content: In one of my liberal arts classes which I guess most people tranferred from Sophia,
we were supposed to analyze U.S. murder trends. There’s literally a slide that says "Chart" with a broken symbol of image where the graph is supposed to be. That’s it. No graph. Just “Chart.” It's one than one classes, and I stopped sending email to those instructors after the second one.
Okay now I feel better, and to be fair, not all classess are like this I’ve had a few gems, like one of my accounting classes where the instructor actually gave incredibly thoughtful and detailed feedback. You could tell they cared and wanted us to learn something beyond just checking boxes. So it’s not hopeless—it’s just wildly inconsistent and lack a universal quality control.
Sorry for anyone who read this and I might wasted 45 seconds of your precious life. I just needed to vent and now I am already feeling better.
