Nothing surprising here. The blame is on the administration. I have been at UAGC for 2 years and the curriculum is pretty good. The degree is worthless because the recruiters are involved too much in what happens in class. If a student doesn't log in for three weeks and doesn't turn in any work, the recruiters tell them just to turn in everything right away and then pressure faculty to take the pile of late work that doesn't meet the assignment goals. I would bet that even if some of these students are able to graduate they must come across pretty bad at interviews and can't get jobs. I've been teaching for over 10 years and I have never seen anything like this place. Just had a kid so I need the job, but it might be better for everyone if they shut down.
