University of Phoenix - Online Campus —

I started UoP hoping to be taught something. Almost at the end of my fifth set (2 at a time) of classes, I have gotten nothing out of this that I couldn't have gotten from spending an 8th of the cost on a text book and reading it. I have 'instructors' that tell me when my work isn't good enough (4 sets of nearly perfect scores on my writing, and suddenly some aerobics instructor on a power trip telling me I'm not using proper grammer) but absolutely no help before that. What the heck are these people getting paid for?

Planning on dropping my classes after I am done with this set, but can't get a hold of anyone. Not a huge surprise there since everytime something goes wrong with my account I have to hunt down my new 'financial advisor' since my last one mysteriously disappeared. I just want out.
