I have nothing bad to say about the school I am attending.
Suzie
The worst thing is that there is no interaction with other students. When you are doing a team project you have to wait for a team member to respond to you which can take days.

The lack of face to face class participation.

While I believe that the University of Phoenix is a great place to get an education, the one drawback is that you do not get to see who you are interacting with. Inflection and enthusiasm do not translate well over the internet, but if you are self-motivated and can do without face-to-face interaction, you'll be fine. There are phone calls, but again, you never get to see who you are talking to. It may seem trivial, but these people are so helpful that being able to see them would be great.

The worst thing I can think of about my school is the recent change that was made by removing the syllabus and course calendar from the Class Materials section of the website and having the instructor responsible for posting it after class starts. This leaves little preparation time for assignments that are due on the first and second day of class, especially when a student is also working full time.
Nelly
The worst thing about my school is that it's main campus is in Arizona, so I have to communicate with my professors and advisors over the phone or though e-mail instead of seeing them face-to-face.
Jacqueline
While my work schedule requries online learning, I wish I could be in a classroom again. I feel I am missing out on great discussion in an online learning environment. I miss learning from people one on one, in person. It's difficult to have student camaraderie and interaction.
Kathleen
I don't consider there to be a downside at this point - that may change, but I doubt it.
Erica
The worse thing about my school is probably the cost of it. It is quite a bit more expensive than attending physical classes at my local university, however the degree program and the flexibility are great.
Denise
The required readings are done online. Printing the chapters from the books and/or articles will take up too much of my ink cartridge. It can get very costly.
Dawn
The part of this school that I consider the worst thing is the fact that the instructors are not academic professionals and they tend to run their classrooms as such. I have been very dissapointed with a large number of the instructors. I feel the while the instructors are people who work in the field they are teaching, they are lacking in the area of classroom instruction.
Anthony
The University of Phoenix is a great school to attend. The only thing that it lack when it comes to education is the hands-on experience. Being a more hands-on learner, this made it a little more difficult to adjust. Once I got through a few classes I adjusted to the online experience.
Judy
The worst thing about my high school is that the equipment was outdated and old.
Megan
I can't think of anything I really don't like about it,m except maybe the struggle with my own procrastination issues because I have to be so on top of myself. But again that's not a bad thing, it encourages me to try harder.
Michele
There is nothing that I consider the worst thing about University of Phoenix. I like that I can do my homework at my pace, in the privacy of my home, and able to work on my school work anytime of the day.
Tonya
I would have to say that I cannot really find anything negative to say about the school. So far, the classes and the the schools environment has been pleasing.
Victoria
That I do not get to see the other students or the instructors. Since all my course work is online I do not really get to interact with other students or teachers.
cecilia
I do not have a comment about it.
Katrina
The only thing that I do not like about this school is that being in the online program you have to communicate with financial aid and academic advisors all on the phone or by e-mail. It would be easier if you could go to the campus and talk to someone there regarding these things.
