Review:

I'll sum it real simply:

1.  Poor communication:
    -Teachers were very unwilling to help me out with assignments, and/or didn't not post their "help" until after the assignment was due.
    
    -They don't negotiate or give you an extension on homework even if your on a business trip (oh the counsellors and or syllabus will say so, but don't expect that to happen)

    -I've had 2 different finance counselors and only found out about 2nd one because I was sent an email.  I've called her, but I've received a call or response back

    -Online Syllabi are different from pdf versions (pdf has more information)

    -Don't expect a walk-through of how to use the online system

2.  They don't deliver on promises they make--take your pick

3.  Don't believe those reviews that say "Phoenix works with your busy schedule."
   -Days are as follows:  Day 1 - Day 7.  Example:  If you don't get a chance to turn in an assignment by Day 3 , you get docked a full grade.  Regardless of good work.
   -There are NO practice assignments.  You can spend 4 hours on an assingment and still get an F.  Why!  They don't explain the assignments adequately and don't provide examples to help you
   - If you are out of commission for 1 week, you're screwed.

Bottom line:  They're not interested in education, just your money.
