1) You can take an exam for a class at the beginning of the semester if you think you know the material. There is a cost of this exam, but if you pass, then you save money on taking the whole class... and time too.
2) You must complete every single assignment to pass a given class. Your assignments must work 100%. You'll be graded on style.
3) Every class was offered every semester - even during the summer semester. And there was a section for most classes at night.
There's just one issue: I thought universities were supposed to teach you how to learn, while community colleges were meant for specific job-related skills.
Shouldn't doctors, lawyers, nurses, computer programmers etc... all be getting their job-specific diplomas, just like the mechanics and the electricians? And shouldn't 'degrees' be more research oriented anyway? Why are degrees more valued when whats needed in most cases is someone with a specific skill? Do people with degrees really think that people with diplomas are incapable of learning? Do employers feel this way?
