AIU - AA Business Admin —

The American Intercontinental University online, recently removed from accreditation probation, has proved to be an interesting learning experience. I am about to enter my second class, and so far, I have enjoyed my learning experience. There is a lot of communication between students and the professor on the discussion board and in the twice weekly chat sessions. The homework, due by Saturday at midnight (central time), is challenging but not impossible. There are no graded tests, but there are self-tests. The multimedia presentations are fast and to the point. I did not like the group project, because you will find other students who are either too busy to participate, who want you to do all the work, or who don't communicate with you. The best thing to do with that is become the leader and do it yourself. The grading scale is fairly simple to achieve if you're a decent writer and participate in the discussion board frequently. I don't like using APA format for citations, though. They have 24/7 assistance for almost all of the problems you may encounter. My admissions advisor checks up on me, to see how I'm doing and to make sure I'm not overwhelmed. So, overall, I think this school has been an unique experience. For those considering joining, make sure you have enough time to dedicate to the 2-3 assignments per week. The university is costly, but if you're able to get financial aid assistance, go for it. You can take 1-2 classes at a time, depending on whether you want to pay extra costs for the two classes. At least sign up for information and speak with an advisor to see if the school is right for you.

Well done, Ghostlysun! I have had issues with group projects as well. But on the other hand, I have also had several that have gone well--and so will you, once you get into the rhythm. I wish you only the best in your academic career!
