<p>dumbest move ever:</p>
<p>I’m for it. Just so long as it isn’t excessive. There needs to be a balance.</p>
<p>That is not a good thing. We don’t need to turn the UC’s into diploma mills. </p>
<p>I think we are pumping a lot of students out already. I even prefer to have less people being pumped out than what we have now. It is better off. The more people we pump out the less value our degrees really are.</p>
<p>the value of your education is not in the diploma you receive, but in the real life learning experience you get while attending college</p>
<p>a certificate piece of paper means nothing</p>
<p>what matters is: are you engaging yourself, are you thinking critically, are you growing as a human being…</p>
<p>you will die anyway; your learning, experience, and contribution means everything</p>
<p>I agree with iTransfer.</p>
<p>PLUS, as a person who has personally taken a load of online classes, I can say that F2F classes are MUCH more effective for teaching/learning. I remember nothing from macro/micro econ</p>
<p>Ugh. I hate online classes.</p>
<p>Way to cheapen the UC name even more. UC used to be on par with Harvard, Stanford, Yale. Now it is headed on par with University of Phoenix.</p>
<p>"Online degrees don’t work for employers, and here’s why. There’s no question that a disciplined student can take a course online and learn as much of the material. But employers aren’t looking for knowledge among fresh college graduates. They’re looking for certain traits.</p>
<p>Among the questions an employer will wonder about a job candidate is, “Can this person work with a variety of personalities, some of them difficult, demanding, and even unreasonable?”</p>
<p>Good grades from a sit-down school tell the employer that yes, this person can do that. He or she interacted with about 40 professors, all with different styles, and the good grades say all were satisfied.</p>
<p>But good online grades just means you read the book and learned the material. An employer can’t tell how well you might interact with the rest of the staff, and that takes away a lot of value from the degree.</p>

<p>I think online UC would be best for people already in the work place. I teach and am constantly looking for updated information but can’t go away to school. Unfortunately places like Uof Phoenix, National U, seem like the best route for my circumstances and I know they are inferior. I’d love to do UC online instead.</p>
