Having worked in higher ed for 10+ years, let me tell you, in a lot of disciplines, they don't vet as much as you might think. Certainly, high profile/cost courses with lots of interest in teaching them are, but the big money makers such as con-ed, distance learning and apprenticeship take the most convenient person available and throw them in, often at the last minute with zero preparation. I don't see how this differs from ureddit.

Which is one of the reason those degrees are viewed as less valuable than a similar degree from a more prestigious institution which is assumed to have higher (teaching/admission/grading) standards. That is still the biggest obstacle for non-traditional education. How do you assess the value of the degree and then communicate that value to others?

"I don't see how this differs from ureddit." $80,000 waste of time versus a much cheaper but still waste of time?
