Recently, I’ve become disappointed and disenchanted with my school.   I guess that a lot of it stems from ever increasing tuition costs coupled with my current instructor’s lack of assistance and input in the class. Prior to this class, I guess I thought that those who were “instructing” the classes were as equally invested in my learning and future as I was.  But thus is the downfall of online college I suppose.   I had a situation with my computer that resulted in me not being able to complete a quiz I was taking.  I asked the instructor for help with the situation and was pretty much told she couldn’t do anything.  It took her over a week to respond to my initial email and after she finally did, I asked her what other options I had available to me since she wouldn’t reset the quiz for me.  Her reply has been non existent.  And as a result, my grade in the class is going to be much lower than I expected it to be, all due to a single quiz that I wasn’t able to complete.

I started looking around here to see what other options I’d have available, should I choose to transfer but some of the local colleges have even higher tuition rates than what I am currently paying.  In addition to that, working 1st shift doesn’t really work well with school.  So for now, until other options open up for me, I am stuck with my current school.  Hopefully, filing a complaint with the registrars office will help it so that other students don’t have the same experiences with the instructor that I have had and potentially even help me when I am forced to contest my grade.
