I registered for an online programming class at Milwaukee Area Technical College. I called the registration office in Mequon in the summer of 13 to sign up for this class. It cost me $450.00 all together plus the text book. As part of the registration, I was given access to what they call the Blackboard . It is an online chat/message room. After the term started, I realized that this Blackboard WAS the class. The only interaction with the teacher was through that chat room. I had assumed that the school would provide online lectures. The only lectures I could find were seven year old videos that didn't relate to the course material. The only videos from the teacher were too blurry to view and she said she was too busy to fix them. The teacher did provide a syllabus and schedule but didn't follow them. After I realized the class really wasn't, I dropped it and got back only some of my money. I don t understand how MATC can even get certification for offering classes like this! Buyers beware!
