#462Hi. I attended this school and then got accepted to another more standard institution, which I applied at the same time to. The new institution, learning I had been attending U of the P, promptly told me that U of the P credits would not transfer. Universal transferability in question, I opted out. I did enjoy meeting people from all walks of life, all over the world. However, I also saw a grossly wide range of educa…
For me UoPeople is a blessing. I'm able to pursue a higher education all while working and supporting my family. This will give me so many new opportunities for better careers when I eventually move back to the states.
The educational method is challenging. I do like peer assessment, but I feel that some peers don't really try when grading. I like to give grades that are warranted, good or bad. Being told my work is not good with no correction is highly vexing.
I hope to continue to grow as a student with UoPeople and see others do the same.

> could not grasp the idea of plagiarism being unethical I remember experiencing this at a private religious university. At the time, my hyper-religious mind was blown to see students outright cheating in the Testing Center. Since then I've been exposed to additional perspectives on plagiarism. It is an extremely deep and nuanced topic. A few years out of school, I ended up mentoring and then teaching college student…

#466This school is not a regionally accredited school, and therefore the vast majority of other schools will not accepted their credit if you decide to transfer somewhere else or use the degree you earned to try & get into a graduate degree program. It is borderline fraudulent for schools like this to operate without being very clear on the limits of the credits earned and their portability.
I don't know about borderline fraudulent, but I really wish there were better explanations by the school. I already knew what I was getting into when I started because I've been in and around academia for more than 2 decades. However, many of the students don't understand the intricacies of American higher ed. And they can be hard to explain to current and prospective students who just want to know if the degree will…

#469UoPeople has given me an opportunity that the universities here in my country would never have given me. I really appreciate it in the sense that students are given the opportunity to assess their peers. I have really picked a lot of ideas from assessing my peers most of the time. I can also confidently say that I have gotten the opportunity to meet new friends from different countries, which has given me the idea of…
