I enrolled at UMUC to complete my foreign language requirements at the University of Maryland College Park. My experience at UMUC was poor. All course materials are copyrighted by the school and available to students only during their current term. Learning is a process which frequently requires revisiting previous material and at UMUC you are unable to do so, despite paying very steep tuition. I was not impressed with the instructors. Two of my Spanish teachers spoke very poor English. The third failed to appear for a scheduled online interview and, when confronted, stopped communicating with me. Finally, the system of online learning designed by UMUC is very awkward (at least for foreign language). It requires students to spend as much time adjusting to new technology as actually learning Spanish. This may be acceptable to full-time students but definitely not visiting students. All told, I spent nearly $2000 to attempt 3 transferable credits and might, literally, have learned more Spanish if I d invested in a $150 textbook.
