Fully Online Life Experience Degrees

Ever wondered why universities like Almeda University provide fully online life experience degrees without the need for lectures and classes? No? Why? Wasn't it you who actively took part in that forum to bad-mouth such a concept of offering degrees without classes?

Let me tell you a secret - a secret which surprisingly no one tried to find out - why these life experience degrees are offered online without the need to attend any classes whatsoever. Come close.

Let us start in a question answer format. What do these universities do? Offer life experience degrees. What experience? Life experience. Can you teach experience? No, it comes on its own. Can you measure experience? No, experience can not be quantified so as to measure it. Can you teach tips and tricks in experience? No. Can you do anything at all which may necessitate the use of a classroom or lectures?

Then why create unnecessary babble over the university offering life experience degrees without asking to come for any classes or lectures? The university is awarding experience, and that can be done in the only way of measuring your documents in support of your experience. Am I wrong anywhere, sir?

My writing is decidedly harsh but there is a reason to it - my writing is harsh because I intend to drive home a point. I intend to register it in your brains that do not go by the face value of anything - research deep into it - why? What? How? are the types of questions that should be asked, not just go by the public sentiment and act on it.
