ReMark Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 It sounds fairly comprehensive. Must have been back when they had real teachers. Quote
solo8591 Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 I think so, and it has been almost 5 month for this autocad drafting but i am on the final stage just finished the structural draftinig the 6th plate and start the 7th what do you think about the progress . Quote

ReMark Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 That's pretty impressive. Do you know why the program was eliminated? Quote
Dadgad Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 That's pretty impressive. Do you know why the program was eliminated? No doubt it was too good! Showed up all the other courses for what they really were. We can't have that now, there's money at stake. Quote
PotGuy Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 They offer LAW Degrees too ... heaven help us all. Nothing can Dadgad! Quote
ReMark Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 P-F offers law degrees? Oh that is so wrong! Quote
Dadgad Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) P-F offers law degrees? Oh that is so wrong! I was surprised to see that PF, which now hails from (a mail drop maybe ? in) Scottsdale Arizona, was purchased by the PRINCETON REVIEW. 80% of their business comes by way of supplying tests. So much for being great educators. Do they really care what is on the tests, or if information is accurate? Not as long as the crew down at Mailboxes, Etc. keep showing up for work and sending out the tests. Historically speaking? You decide. Edited January 17, 2013 by Dadgad Quote

It sounds okay. I still have bad memories of advanced reinforced concrete design... Quote
PotGuy Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Overall, it dounds like Penn Foster is a cheap, over priced course that is much worse than CADTutor in terms of learning (and where needed) debating constructive approaches to AutoCad. How has Penn Foster survived for this long if this is the case? Quote
ReMark Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Many people leap before they look. And once they have your money kiss it goodbye. I doubt they give refunds in anything approaching a timely manner if they ever do. Quote

I doubt they give refunds in anything approaching a timely manner if they ever do. They should look around dedicated Forums like ours. Better value for money (Free, so win - win there), as long as they're not rude or abusive. Quote
neophoible Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 After all the negative comments I've read about PF here on the site, I must say I was shocked to see their huge ad staring at me at the top of the CADTutor thread I was viewing! :shock::shock::shock: Quote

ReMark Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Where does one fish but where fish congregate. Makes sense doesn't it? Quote
neophoible Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Where does one fish but where fish congregate. Makes sense doesn't it? Sense of a sort, of course. But here, there are some pretty big fish warning about the hook behind the bait. Hope they're paying an arm & a leg, through the nose, etc, for the privilege! Quote
ReMark Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 I think the last time I checked the price was under $900 and Penn-Foster was offering some kind of rebate if one successfully completed the course. Quote
