Ham, was wondering if you have had first-hand experience with the UK distance education programs, and if so how you would compare them with those in the US.
I was briefly enrolled in a UK program and found it to be a directionless hodge-podge compared to similar US programs. Perhaps I just got mixed up in a bad program, as I noticed they completely changed the format after I left.
But it's hard for me to give a US students a "thumbs up" to these UK programs based on my experience. In your view is there a significant difference between UK and US distance programs? Or is it like anything, some good ones and some bad ones?
