Review:

Overall, U of P provides a minimally decent program.  Two main complaints:
-Please stop your reliance on group work!!!  I have talked to many other UofP students and it seems that that most/all of the programs require this.  Come On!  This is purely undergrad stuff-been there, done that.  And, at the grad level, it smacks of Profs not wanting to do their work (someone else doing it for you).  It also almost totally removes the 'flexibility' I was looking for in an online program - just how do you expect people to 'get together'?
-also please use some of your profits to purchase a proper online learning environment (ever hear of WebCT?) - using Microsoft Outlook email for discussion groups is very low class (although I realize it costs the school nothing)
