University Of Phoenix ripoff - university is complete fraud Nationwide

When UoP came out for a college day at my job, I told them that I wanted more info from them. I scheduled a meeting. While the "recruiter" was talking, she stated that my job would pay 100% of the tuition. In fact, she mentioned this several times. Once I signed all the forms, then she says that oops, that number was wrong. They'll only pay a small fraction of it. So I got stuck attending classes. The classes are a joke. They find any jerk off the street who will teach these classes. They have you purchase books that you will hardly use and policies change as often as weather changes in Kansas...every 5 minutes. Check out this email I received from their office. I was asking a question about formatting papers and this is the response I get! Now, tell me that they're not a worthless diploma factory out to scam students! I get charged $1050.00 for tuitition and 70.00 for books which is actually accessing their website to download locked pdf files.

Inquiry: My team is needing some assistance. We are having a difference of opinion regarding APA formatting for headings. We need to know which example is correct: Example

1:Level One Heading (title)Level Three Heading (heading of paragraph/section) Level Four Heading (subheading of paragraph/section) OR Example

2: Level One Heading (title) Level One Heading (heading of paragraph/section)Level Three Heading (subheading of paragraph/section) Level Four Heading (sub-subheading of paragraph/section)

The first example is following the formatting in the APA book, section 3.32. The second example is following the formatting of the APA sample from the Writing Center.

This is confusing because the APA book says one thing, the Writing Center sample shows something different, and the instructors have their own spin on what they want on APA. There is no consistancy.

Dear Deanna:

This in a microcosm is what you should expect from a career. Most large corporations have standard formats for inter-office communications, but inevitably you will encounter a supervisor who wants them done slightly differently, or you will find yourself in a situation that is an exception to the rule. Rule #1 at UOP: the instructor has the last word in the course of the class, so the student must adhere to the instructor's requirement (as in any corporate situation) but return to the standard once the course is over.

Regarding the difference between the CWE and the APA manual, the Boeing Corporation employee manual specifies standard security procedures throughout the company, but in certain locations in Southern California, those procedures are augmented slightly to increase security in certain aspects. The point is that the "closest" authority has the more immediate power. In this case, the APA manual specifies various aspects that the University of Phoenix, with its vast series of campuses and differences in student body, has amended, in most cases to make them simpler (easier).

This is the point: the king tells you to wear red--you wear red. But outside the castle, the duke tells you to wear blue--you wear blue. In your village, the chieftain tells you to wear brown--you wear brown. The closest authority has the most immediate power.
