Pros
You a few hard working students that appreciate the feedback, implement the corrections, and actually want to improve themselves.
Cons
The majority of the students are in the military and veterans. Some of the students that are higher-ranking non-commissioned officers think that because they are masters of their universe in the military, that entitles them to be disrespectful to instructors and to disregard following assignment directions. Also, the increased grading requirements of additional assignments and the laborious feedback process is too much. This is a part-time job, not a full-time. If you want to full-time effort and work, pony up the money and benefits. Excelsior College is more concerned about generating revenue from students in the military and veterans. I get that both are great sources for revenue. However, you sacrificed your academic integrity. The New York State Regents should review your accreditation to determine if the almighty dollar has not clouded the institutional academic integrity.
