One of my kids as well as two of my co-workers attended the University
of Phoenix. They are typical of UofP students in that they were working
full time and could only attend at night. The classes are generally
taught by people working in the field. Classes are often broken into
working groups of students who arrange among themselves to meet and
produce whatever product the class demands. Having graduated many years
ago from a "regular" college, it seems to me the UofP approach may be
superior. Generally speaking, the students are mature, eager, volunteer
learners willing to sacrifice their time and money to get a degree.
Most of those attending with my son were paying their own way, being
helped by their employers or getting some kind of student aid.

UP is so bad that we don't reimburse employees for it.
