I am an unusual student, consequently I annoy my teachers. Twice I have offended the head of the dept, to the point I was asked/advised t o leave.

Eg leave now or fail your future classes. About a dozen teachers so far have been, “but you have to write what I want to see, you writing from outside materials and not the textbook is unacceptable. You have to write what I want or you flunk out.

I dropped classes at UOP because in thre clases in the row I was given teachers who demanded I describe the scientific method, incorrectly. I have no idea to this day what way to describe the scientific method other than correctly.

My time at Capella ended the first time with a sexual harassment issue, the teaching assistant decided her sex life was more important than my grade. The Capella “flex pass” program depends on a Pyramid scheme between the teacher the tudor and the student. The student and teacher never intract. Which leaves all the power in the hands of the tudor; a bad tudor can destroy a students career. I dropped out.

Again at UOP and found another bad teacher who demanded non-scienctific answers to science questions. “This is not what I was looking for” becomes the paraphrased answer to why I drop classes so much. My response to them is usually “since I am not psychic, how am I supposed to guess what answer are you looking for. I read articles, and other books I give the best scientific answer I can.” I do not care if my answer agrees with the provided textbooks, I do my own research through peer review case studies from upper end scholars. My teachers do not like that.

I attempted AMUS. Had a chat with the head of the history dept, which ended very very badly. I insulted his almost entire academic career. I know more abou the history of the Pacific NOrthwEst then he does, he ahs been teaching the class for 2 decades. I mentioned stuff about his Columbia River history and north of seattle history he had never heard of. This did not go well for the rest of the classes.

The first AMUS class I met my first teacher who was so caught up with “the documents provided are the gods honest truth, they cannot be questioned”. Despite outside information regarding said documentation has so many problems regarding authorship and intended polital bias, those documents are not possible to reflect reality. The teacher when I pointed this out became so upset I was forced to drop the class or be given straight Fs. The second teacher after 5 emails on day one of class back and forth I dropped her class within hours. Saying that teacher demands homework to be filled in specific is a mild understatement. Not a single word deviation is acceptable in her class. Facts, evidence, etc. are not welcome period. The third teacher; I was in his class for 2 weeks, and wow. He and I had an hour long scream match. He demanded I plagiarize my homework. I would write exact sentence structure according to his specific demands or I was not welcome in his class. I asked him 5 sepeate times if “x, y, z” was what he wanted for his homework, he informed he yes that is exactly what I want. Not a single word different than that. I informed him that was plagiarism, he said “I decide what is plagiarism”. Sorry but the academic community decide what is plagiarism not an individual teacher. I was invited to leave his class.

I found out the APUS only has a MA in psychology, not an MS. I found Tiffin Univerity Tiffin Ohio. At that School, wow, the head of the department and the dean and I went round and round. I was informed over the course of more than 5 months that I either complied with the course material and lie in my papers to make them happy or I would flunk out. The head of the department also has an addition to “citations”. If had his way, all of his students would cite every single sentence. Steven is a Cognitiion speciliast, he wants to find out how his students process the information they are reading in order to understand their cognitive processes. Which is impossible to do with me. After 5 months of clases and steven forcing me to study and write in a way I have no idea how to do. I dropped my last 3 classes, I had specifically yasked not to be enrolled for. I then turned back to school after a 5 month break and saw the tuition for APUS is 350$ a credit hour. I will just have to deal with the MA in psychology instead of the MS. I am disgusted the schools I have attended on the gradschool masters level refuse to allow issues between students and teachers to have a better solution than “work it out etween you two” which always means “submit to the teachers demands, or else leave the program”.
