Non-Accredited Vs. Dilpoma Mill

I think you are full of it.

you are dispensing self-serving bunk.

You are either extremely dishonest, severely lacking in mathematical skills, or ignorant

(you can divide by 1.25, right?)..

I find your logic and justifications to be extremely flawed.




No insults. None taken.

You should really learn how to use the formatting functions of this forum. That way, you could actually quote someone’s comments and respond specifically to them in context (it’s a “fluff” course kind of thing). Come to think of it, perhaps you do know how to use them, but they simply don’t suit your purposes.

Never mind. One of the nicest features of this forum is that posts can’t be edited after a certain time period has elapsed. That way, what was said, and in what context, is there for everyone to see. Those who try to distort statements to suit their purposes or to support a particular agenda, only end up looking like fools.

 

Thanks!

I will add that one too.

No, they don't give that much for life experience. That would be the total credits for previous education credits plus life experience and any testing for credit. K-W claims that the life experience, education credits, and credits earned from K-W is equal to a Bachelor's degree, or 120 credits. This is the way K-W explains their use of 5-7 courses as sufficient. Checking with the school itself would be the best way of understanding what they claim. Then you can judge for yourself, as to what should be believed.

 

Note to plcscott, what defines the requirement for a school is the MINIMUM work that can be done to get a degree there. K-W uses deception here because K-W does not publish their graduation requirements. The normal minimum is a standard amongst all acredited schools, that is120 credits minimum. Some majors may require more but that doesn't change the general standard minimum of 120. The majors that require more have more classes in the major being required than the minimum standard.

kf5k, I'm very confused by your assertion that K-W doesn't give that much credit for "life experience". Then in the following statements you seem to go on to give an example that shows EXACTLY that??? The five classes plus a term paper is 21 credits. (I thought I was being generous here with the K-W minimum?) If K-W claims they require 120 credits, where do the other 99 come from? The additional "life experience" is apparently conjored up by the K-W marketing department? Please keep in mind that what defines the graduation requirements is the minimum credits required at a school.

I guess what might be making this confusing is the K-W deception in not publishing their graduation requirements? You can't use the maximum, you can't use the average, you can't use your specific example. It is the minimum required credits to get a degree. Once that minimum is established then it defines the baseline for the school. If that baseline is well below the standard then the school is a degree mill. If a person writes one paragraph and gets a degree from the school then the schools graduation requirement is one paragraph. Now I'm really trying to be as generous as I can to K-W here because there is the Singapore operation that sells K-W Ph.D. degrees to local area business men for no work required. Although I must admit that they do call them "honorary" degrees.

 

For making a pot of coffee, K-W awards 3 credits in Chemistry and 3 credits in Pharmacology. To "work the system", make sure you also;

- Grind your own beans (3 credits Mechanical Engineering)
- Add cream & sugar (3 credits Chemistry Lab)
- Dispose of the leftover liquid (3 credits Wastewater Technology)

Or just send them a resume indicating you attend some "Coffee-makers" convention and they'll give you credit for all three, no questions asked.

 

Wow.... To think I'm "grinding" it out in a DETC University when my coffee making skills could be worth 9 to 12 life experience credits. The possibilities

Nah... I'll stick to my program. Oh well , what might have been.
