Albert- You said: "We are held to the same standards in our coursework as other doctoral students." I don't mean this to express anything but a healthy skepticism, but how do you know that is the case. That is what puzzles some of us from more "traditional" programs. We see UoPs, and other on-

Since such a large part of graduate training is spent on one-on-one time with mentors and in discussion-based seminar courses, I'd be curious to hear evidence showing that online students are held to the same standards in their coursework- that seems impossible to demonstrate or even to test. __
