The vocab words on the GRE read like something out of a fifth grade spelling list. Recede? Encapsulate? Give me a freaking break.
It says much about the society at large to which that is directed. I watched the videos hoping to learn new words, but overall there were maybe 2 I either didn't know, or hadn't heard in ages. Pretty lame.
When Regional Accredited colleges (the supposed "gold standard" in higher education) award advanced degrees for under three hours of shoddy coursework, is it a wonder why no one knows what a diploma mill is and is not?
Think of all those years you spent fritted away in the classroom, when all you really had to do was take a single multiple choice test.
The next time you hear Contreras or whomever jumping up and down about "diploma mills," please remind him that RA institutes are doing exactly the same thing.
