Material is a bit dated and the online exam proctor that they use is terrible.

I appreciated being able to complete some of my general studies courses quickly and astride of my regular college courses. However, the user interface for both classes was cluttered and ugly. This combined with some ambiguous directions made it difficult sometimes to understand the requirements. Additionally, the worksheets and instructions for the Biology Lab class periodically did not match, leaving me with questions on how I was even supposed to proceed.

i do not like using proctor u because in college we dont even have someone watch us take the test so it doesnt make sense for us to have it online but not in person.

The classes were wonderful and straight forward. The biggest issue is the communication with the academic team. Non responsive to emails regarding transcripts and their communication system needs to improve.

The membership for $99 a month. That's why I didn't keep it. I get why. But also having to pay for the courses. I get that with all thats included its not bad. When I tried to use the tutor, I got frustrated. but that was probably my own fault. But it still frustrated me. :)

The over all class was great till I got to the final exam. The class is self taught and self paced. I should have been allowed to use my hand written notes on the exam. Half of the information on the exam was not covered in the course or on the study guide. I would have passed the class if I had been able to use my personal notes on the final. Also the proctor that I had was making so much noise, between kids screaming around her and plates being stacked… I found it really really hard to focus which did contribute to my failing the final…. I finished with a 69.7 in the class and needed a 70 to transfer to my school… I was extremely disappointed by how the experience ended..

The courses did not test for true comprehension of the text. On Blooms Taxonomy, it merely tested the bottom rung of learning. The courses in general should be utilizing higher levels of learning based on analysis, evaluation, and creation. The courses I took only covered rote memorization.
