It is not uncommon to find forums and discussion boards throwing huge balls of fire in the direction of life experience degrees. A person starts, and others follow suit like a herd. Truth is vastly stranger than fiction, someone once said.
Know what? He wasn't lying. Truth is indeed much different from the general perception. The general perception of a life experience degree is a sham, and that of the providing institution, a diploma or a degree mill. This is because of the numerous other institutions who take thousands of dollars and then, too, the quality of education is nothing.
Almeda earns a ‘diploma mill' name plate on the sole premise that as this is also online, this offers a degree without any lectures whatsoever, so this must also be a scam - far from it.
Almeda does not conduct any examination because it does not need to conduct examinations to award a degree based on experience. Get a hang of it; how do you think you can measure practical experience in practical terms?
Being a fully online degree system, all the university can do is to verify the documents you submit to prove your worthiness. But Almeda goes a step further; Almeda University asks the candidate to write a thesis or dissertation before awarding the degrees. Again, if you write a thesis faking your cat's credentials and somehow manage to get a degree for your cat, in effect, it would be only a human (you) who secured the degree - since your cat can't write, you did - and most definitely NOT on your cat's behalf.
So why attack EVERY online life experience degree institution? If you have so strong views, why not do something about it in a recognizable manner? Pluck out the bad from the good, can't you? Nah! You'd better just sit in the confines of your computer table and opine like you knew all.
