Your argument assumes that the 4 year brick and mortar unis offer ‘a rich live class that engages the student.’ This is just not always the case. Too often my kids have had to sit and listen to a teacher promote their particular political agenda (often pro-socialism) instead of actually teach the course material. </p>
<p>Or they have taken classes taught by a teacher that was very hard to understand due to the fact that English was not that person’s first language and they had a very strong accent. You can’t have much class discussion when you can hardly understand the teacher. </p>
<p>So in the real world, credit by examination classes or online classes may be the better option. Maybe not always, but certainly sometimes.</p>
