ENEB Master Thread

[KSoul]

Is ENEB going to note on the transcript that the degree was earned under the new scheme? My concern is for those of us in the USA, where our degrees aren't fully recognized by FCEs yet. What value our degrees do have will be totally lost because of this, if ENEB doesn't make it clear that the people who choose this new (temporary?) option will have a notation on their transcripts that they didn't complete the traditional program.

If I'm off-base, let me know. I hope I am off-base. A two-hour multiple choice exam of 50 questions screams "diploma mill" to me. I am not okay with this. ENEB should either 1) offer the test per course; or 2) pause admissions until they're no longer overloaded; or 3) raise the price of the degrees to slow down enrollment. 

But, employing degree mill tactics is not the answer. When word gets out about this, all of our degrees will lose value and come under additional scrutiny. We need to band together to let ENEB know this is a bad idea. Because, dollars to donuts, if this "scheme" is successful it's not going to be temporary. ENEB is greedy, and always trying to squeeze more money out of students for an optional this or that. I'm okay with that because their "extras" haven't affected the quality of my degrees. But, I fear that this new thing they're trying to do will negatively affect the quality/reputation of all their degrees.

ENEB is going to have to come up with some way to make it plain that this new option doesn't have the same respect and weight as the traditional/classic option. Otherwise, all the work and sweat that went into us completing the traditional/classic degrees will mean nothing, because they won't be distinguishable from the new ones. I am so pissed right now. 

I appreciate your post and find it thought-provoking. In the past, some members of this forum have focused on finishing their degrees as quickly as possible. My father was inspired by one such member and was able to complete his degree with support and encouragement from the forum. After that, he learned of other members who had completed their master's degrees in just one term and was again motivated to do the same. He finished his first master's degree in one term and his second in one month due to credit overlap.

My story is similar in that I was also inspired by early stories of members completing their degrees in record time. I believed if they could do it, I could. Although my story has been shared on this forum, I won't recount it now. The critical thing to remember is that even if some people finish their degrees quickly, and others take years to do the same, the degree is still respected per its RA/NA/evaluation by all who earned it, regardless of how long it took. 

Regarding your comment on the exam structure, I share your sentiment. However, I choose to be happy for those who can successfully improve their situations.

I completed both of my degrees in a total of 6 months. But, I still wrote 17 final project papers! I'm not against completing the degrees quickly, but taking a two hour multiple choice test for an entire degree is not quick; it's almost instantaneous! There's no comparison.

The concision on this post and using the word instantaneous for how wild the option is cracked me.
