Fake Online Degrees
There are literally hundreds of online schools that offer legitimate online courses, degrees, and diplomas. Unfortunately, however, there is also a big bucket full of diploma mills, and outright fakes. These fake schools claim to be accredited. The agency giving them accreditation is usually just as phony as the degree or diploma they are selling.

I am sure that getting a quick diploma may be tempting to some people. Really, what could be better than just paying $200 or $300 getting the diploma, and that's it. You would have to take no classes, no labs, no tests, and no credit requirements. It's a "no brainer", literally.

Are you aware that these diploma mills are well known and easily found out? If you attempt to get a good job, or enter college with one of these fake diplomas, you are taking a huge risk. Apart from the embarrassment of getting your fraud discovered, you may actually be committing a crime. You are committing fraud, and if I was an employer, or school being defrauded by someone with fake credentials, I would definitely prosecute you in court. Of course, I would immediately fire you or expel you from my college.

I can tell you honestly, that I worked my butt off for that piece of paper. Virtually every assignment in every class was an essay, or long major paper. The program was writing intensive, and quite challenging for me. I was "forced" to speak in online classroom discussions. My scores depended on participation. There was no nodding in the back of a huge lecture

    The Diploma Mill episode signifies that an entity has the authority to confer degrees, but there is no campus, faculty, laboratories or curriculum in which to earn a college degree. In the situation with John C. Bennett, he received a license to practice medicine after only shadowing a relative who was a physician. Bennett was known for his dishonesty and during that time, individuals were being awarded degrees who had never attended class or stepped foot onto a college campus. Today, we do not have “Diploma Mills.” Individuals must do more than shadow to receive a college degree. They must attend class, complete curriculum (Coursework), service learning hours as well as other requirements to graduate from an institution.…

    By using this I have discovered what my goals and dreams are. I wanted to pass this class and go on to college but that's not going to happen if I fail english. I realized that all that busy work she was giving us wasn't actually busy work. She showing us how hard it can be in college and most of the material now that I come to think of it helped me with everything I did in that class whether it was vocab or learning to write a better thesis statement. My goal for that class was to pass with an 80 or high by the end of each marking period and to not slack on all my work and to do it well and on time. Now I actually do my work ahead of time so that I don't forget and I have time to go back and look over it and sometimes I have a little free time to myself. My current grade in my CCC English 102 is an 89 and so far i've been doing things days before they are actually do so I make sure it's…

    Enrolling in college opens up the door for you to receive a higher education in pursuit of a good job and brighter future. Gaining acceptance into college comes with many things, including an insurmountable amount of debt that will most likely take years after completion of a degree to pay off. With this debt, though, comes the fond memories often made during the career of a college student. Many believe that the only way to attain a “good” job with great monetary, health, and employee benefits is through receiving a piece of paper stating you completed four years of education on a specific topic. In certain fields, such as the medical industry, this is…

    Online courses use the same text and other academic materials as the traditional classroom. Although there is no "face to face" communication, there are other ways to communicate that is as effective. E-mails, text messages, classroom forums, and phone calls are the other options that are alternative to the "face to face" communication. Research that I did prove that accredited online courses is just as effective as traditional courses. The main advantage online courses have that is best for me is the flexibility. Since I work full time, I can do my assignments on my own time at my own pace. Online courses can be done anywhere I have my laptop or any computer access.

    Since i am technically a second semester sophomore, I am enrolled in this class to fulfill my WS2 credits. The reasoning behind why I took this course does not mean i can't be excited to begin this journey however. As I begun reading through the syllabus what caught my eye was that most of the writing will be focused on the students and in my opinion that sounds very interesting. I’d much rather write a paper on myself then some researched topic. Also I am excited because this is my first writing course so hopefully it will teach me the skills and techniques to writing a quality paper for all my classes to come. My biggest fear by far is public speaking and with that being said I am not looking forward to presenting to the class what so ever.…

I respect every once opinions and am happy that I took them as a good knowledge gained. I just wish I would have taken a class like this sooner!
