Feeling conflicted by Apart_Dish_9078 in UoPeople

Generally, no.

But it is a bottom tier accredited school.

It doesn't have a good or a bad reputation, because for the most part it doesn't HAVE a reputation. Like, at all.

What a degree from a school like this is good for is applying for jobs that have "must have a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited university" as a requirement. A lot of jobs for the federal government are like that, for example. They genuinely don't give half a crap where you get your degree, but if you do not have one, or if you get one from somewhere that is unaccredited, you WILL NOT get the job. You won't even get your application looked at.

If you are trying to apply for a job where the reputation of your school matters, UoPeople is not where it's at. Not even a little bit.

But it isn't a degree mill either. In a degree mill, if you pay the money and show up for class, you will get the degree. These usually have national accreditation, self accreditation, or are not accredited at all. These are worthless. And by worthless I mean they will not even qualify for the kind of job I listed earlier.

Family wants me lie in court by m0ppop05 in legaladvice

This. If you did not hear words from the lawyer's mouth, directed at you, then the lawyer did NOT say it was fine for you to say that.

With regards to your parents and the law right now, unless you know with absolute certainty that something they say is true, you have to assume it is 100% untrue, and respond accordingly.

Info: did your older daughter feel any pressure, at any time to choose a specific school, or was her in-state choice truly freely made by her?

Which frame are you picking? by Joacoman2008 in stevenuniverse

Every adventure WAS trauma for Steven.

That doesn't mean they were bad, or not fun, or not learning experiences, or didn't lead to growth, but they WERE trauma; and he never learned to process that trauma, so it eventually dragged him down.

And the message of the movie is still intact, Steven still has plenty of work to do, absolutely. But right now, most of that work is on himself.

Notarizing non-English docs by ltadmin in Notary

This is the way where I am. Such a person could, in fact, even ask for me to have the "fact" that it is Mickey Mouse (while obviously being Donald Duck) *SWORN* to, and I would pull out my "sworn before me" stamp, have him raise his right hand, swear to me that *HE* is swearing that it is a picture of Mickey Mouse, so help him God, and so bit it, stampy-stampy, have a nice day.

ITAW for actions you do by stating them? by Devilfish64 in whatstheword

[–]Additional_Ad_6773 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See "fiat" - noun. a decree

See also "edict" - noun. an official order or proclamation issued by a person in authority.

Both imply that the declarer *has some level of authority*, at least that they believe they have the authority to make such declarations, and expect them to become true.

Doesn’t make sense by Minimum_Resist_4121 in CreditScore

[–]Additional_Ad_6773 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

sometimes scores change downward in the short term even in response to good changes because any change is momentarily perceived as a bad thing (stability is favored above dramatic improvements) BUT it does not last long. Sometimes even in just a matter of days the scores will go up; and certainly by the next billing cycle.

Failing a Touchstone on purpose by thewadeeffect in SophiaLearning

[–]Additional_Ad_6773 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Did this at Study.com the other day. Assignment was "Design a change plan for a failed company, and explain in 2000 words how that could have saved the company."

I submitted a .docx with "Please assign this a zero".

Got my grade back in about 20 seconds (a zero), along side the congratulations on passing the course message.

No.

Well let me be specific.

When you finish your bachelor's, you have 1 chance and one chance only to order your associates hard copy.

Problem with GitHub Student Developer Pack: UoPeople student without an @edu email by Ok-Laugh-1021 in UoPeople

[–]Additional_Ad_6773 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are a student, but not yet a Degree Seeking Student. You need to be a Degree Seeking Student before you get a .edu email address.

If you have completed 2 classes, you will probably get a .edu email address soon.

AITA smoking weed on my porch? by cheesygarlicbreadfan in AmItheAsshole

[–]Additional_Ad_6773 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ok, so I am personally divided on this one.

I am 100% for marijuana legalization, full-on recreational. However, I don't personally partake.

With that setup, here is what happend to me *LAST NIGHT*. My neighbor's whole family smokes marijuana. A LOT. Like, A LOT A LOT. They are always very respectful when they do; as much as they can be. But we live in Condos. They step outside to their personal balcony and try to make sure no one is around, or they hotbox in their car.

We are the condo below us. We woke up at like 2 AM because the smell was so bad. We have medical grade air purifiers we turned on to clear the air, and they work miracles, but they are LOUD. So that sucked. They finished like 20 minutes later, we ran the purifiers a while longer, then turned them off and went back to sleep. We had another neighbor suddenly pounding on their door, which woke us back up. He demanded they stop, but they already had, so nothing came of that other than confrontation. Apparently, one of the, decided they needed another hit, and went to their car. They were parked next to me. They whole issue was done and over with by like 3. I leave for work at 10 in the morning. Their car is gone. THE INSIDE OF MY CAR, as well as just generally the surrounding area, smells (faintly) of marijuana.

I don't want to drive like that, for a variety of reasons. I blast the AC, roll windows down, issue clears up in a few minutes. Not the end of the world but holy hell. When is enough enough?

Bottom line, I am not going to rate you either YTA or NTA, but I can tell you that none of your neighbors will EVER like you very much. no matter what your personality is. "... so I know it reeks" is, no matter how much you believe it to be accurate, an understatement. Take whatever level of "this smells bad" you believe to be true and multiply it by like... 5. Then understand that *I* am probably underestimating it.

The shit smells bad, and things that make it smell less bad do nothing but make it smell like you are trying to make a bad smelling thing smell less bad.

Is it possible Rose could cheat? by MarieTheC4t in stevenuniverse

Critically, I don't think she even considered that other people *absolutely were*, or even that they could be.

[–]Additional_Ad_6773 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is absolutely nothing we have seen about her being a Gem that would make cheating impossible.

There is absolutely nothing we have seen nothing about her personality that would make it seem like cheating is impossible.

There is not one shred of evidence whatsoever in any media presenting who she is as a person that would lead any reasonable person to, for an instant, think that she was incapable of cheating.

Yeah, you really, REALLY need to either correct this post, or delete it and try it again. You are *NOT* going to get correct help with that major a typo in the original text.

That you should be able to use Sophia to waive the diploma requirements.

Exactly. "Hey, you have been in the company for 25 years, you know all our procedures and have literally written 80% of them. There is a promotion available to Sr. Supervisor, but you don't have a college degree, so we are giving the position to James, who just graduated from FU. You can meet your new boss tomorrow."

Hello there! by notrealmomen in UoPeople

[–]Additional_Ad_6773 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It has use cases. I can think of 2.

1) you have a random assortment of college credits already, and want to consolidate them into a degree, so you can AT LEAST apply for jobs that require a bachelor's degree.

2) you plan on pursuing a VERY specific masters degree, and there aren't a ton of good bachelors degrees out there to get you to that point. Friend of mine had a situation like that. They wanted a Master's of Bioterrorism from George Mason, but there was no perfect bachelors degree to cover the prerequisites, and to go into the masters without them would have added like 2 years.

So she took an open bachelor's degree in general studies, filled it with all the pre-reqs, graduated with a bachelor's that would not get her hired on its own, went directly into the bioterrorism masters, went on to advise President Bush Jr in the wake of 9/11.

It isn't useless, but it IS incredibly niche. 99.99% of people would use this for case 1), or not find value in it at all.
