Comments: I am totally appalled that this is being done to th numerous students that attending, are attending and will be attending hoping to make their future a brighter one.It is totally dissatisfying to sit in a classroom for four years and know that an employer will not look twice at all the hard work put into a so-called degree?
Is this what our nation has come to? False hope?
I am presently considering to drop my degree because of all this and the numerous pressure that the school puts on ts students in their efforts to get accredited.
What is one to do when four years of their lives are being wasted?
This would eventually lead to negatively affect one's life.
The mentality of both students and most Lecturers are appalling since the pressure being placed to do even more work in an effort to get the standards of a fake degree and with the hope that it will be accepted.

Comments: There was once a time when people studied because they wanted to learn something. Unfortunately, many students today are only pursuing a degree for getting certification and so they unwittingly restrict themselves to merely learning how to pass exams. These students find that a few years after graduation they can barely remember anything they have studied! It is no wonder that employers today place a much greater emphasis on experience rather than certification.
The fact that you are thinking of giving up your educational pursuits because of the question of certification shows that your educational philosophy is screwed up. However, this is not your fault since it is the educational philosophy of country that is screwed up! Take my advise... Pursue a worthwhile program of study that will help you grow and that emphasizes skills/competencies rather than grades. Make learning your goal and it will be worthwhile whether you are certified or not.
