Review:

I have been taking MBA in Project Management courses since early 2005. The curriculaum is good. Selection of text book is good. The cost is low. Delivery is not as good - even though it supposed to be an online program very rudimentary technology is used. Student read course assignments online, submit assignments via email and participate in discussion groups. No interactive contents, online tests. I was satisfied until late 2007 or early 2008 when the introduced what they called "lecture notes". They require purchase of this "lecture notes" at the time of course registration. These "lecture notes" are very low quality, full of typos and other mistakes and often word for word copy of major points from the test book. They were useless to me but I had to purchase them paying $75 to $100 since they are required. IMHO, this is a very agressive way of quickly making a lot of money without providing any values in return. I have lost my respect in this university as a result of this.
