so I guess that maybe there's still some hope for me . . . . . . . . . no, probably not https://www.tuko.co.ke/317929-halala-sa-man-graduates-doctorate-degree-age-91.html
The U. of South Africa has been a place of last resort before: Nelson Mandela doing his law degree from Robben Island Prison; Doug Dean (who wrote the 'degrees for prisoners' chapter of my book) doing his PhD from a maximum security prison in Wisconsin, when no US school would take him.
Yes, please tell. UNISA has been a chimera on this board since its inception. It would be great to hear from someone who's done it.
My experience with Unisa was good. It was a long time ago, before online education was what it is now, so it was really what was known as a correspondence course. I completed a BSc(Hons) which consisted of a number of modules. Very much like The Open University used to operate, because the OU was actually based on Unisa. In South Africa, Unisa had a good reputation. Some of the professors at the university where I worked had PhD's from Unisa.
