Unfortunately once again, I am going to have to leave
a negative review for this school. This school
decided to end my class for me today, when they wanted
to on their terms, with no regard for my individual
circumstances.
After a few weeks of struggling with one sick child
child with a bedwetting problem, another child with
after-school activities, a verbally abusive husband
recently placed in a wheelchair, and no help with any
household chores, I fell behind in certain aspects of
the class. To be very specific, what I fell behind in
wasn't reading my books or following the assignments,
it was the interaction requirement where students are
required to post reviews in response to book readings
and content-related questions. They consider posting
an attendance requirement.
This posting requirement is insignificant in
proportion to the rest of the class content, and my
grade was still an A. People make up ridiculously
inane comments just to get points for interaction. In
fact, there was a woman in a previous class who could
barely compose a sentence, who was stealing other
people's online works, and posting without references.
Complaint after complaint yielded no results, and I
was disciplined for sending her an email accusing her
of plagiarizing, and they still gave her credit for
the class, I'm sure. I posted a review about that
woman previously.
The administration this evening provided me with an
excuse that the DOE requires them to keep track of
attendance, and that near-death circumstances are
required to be able to reinstate a class cancelled due
to attendance. I was told the system automatically
does it.
They do not track login/logout and do not consider it
attendance, therefore they refused to acknowledge that
I was still reading my books and perusing discussions.
I know that their refusal to reinstate my class had
nothing to do with DOE, and everything to do with
placing this ridiculous policy above my worth as a
human being.
Now I have an employer who is never going to pay for
the class because it wasn't completed, and the school
won't reverse the charges, I'm sure. I'm not paying
for the class, because I can't. I went to them to
improve my life, and instead they left me with a huge
bill that I'll never be able to pay back.
I'm posting this everywhere because I want people to
know they don't care about the work you do, or who you
are. They care about policy, your student number, and
that's about it. I would avoid this school. I've
gone to other colleges and never was I locked out of a
class due to attendance (and this I wouldn't even
refer to as attendance), in the midst of completing
it.
I had planned to finish the posting requirements today
though late and accept a late grade, but they
destroyed my opportunity to do that as well. A
student can choose to have mediocre grades and
attendance and accept a mediocre grade if they want
to. That is none of their business.
I know there are a lot of different complaints on this
school, as I have a colleague who is attempting to sue
them right now regarding a similar issue. I'd watch
it if you plan to go through them as they will cost
you a lot of time and expense.
