I understand now. I do have to disagree with the U of Phx online comment,
however. I have my MAEd in Educational Administration from them and I did
10 times the work and read 10 times more articles and books and did 40-50
times more writing than my colleague who attended a private college in
person. For a degree like this, I think that U of Phx and online
education
is just fine. For a chemistry degree or a teaching credential, I
wouldn't.
I was able to communicate daily with people literally from around the
world
about educational issues and that wouldn't have happened in the classroom.
With one exception, the professors were excellent. I even ended up
working
alongside one of them in my first administrative job. She was a great
person and a great educator.
As for cheating on tests, in an Ed Admin program, there really aren't any
exams. There are papers, projects, online discussions, literature
summaries, assignments (eg. statistics problems) and an action research
project. I had to take a test to get the administrative credential, but
that was taken in person, not online.
