FWIW I think most of the edukashun industry is a scam..."educators" ecouraging youngsters to go deep into debt for junk degrees that are worthless in the real world.

Remember how at the end of last semester they said he might have to do a "project" instead of a thesis, which required 6 more class hours? I was almost hoping that they would suggest that, because that would mean 6 more hours but done for certain. Then they said his thesis was do-able, and that he didn't need any more hours.

My fear is, they're going to make him take these two more hours, then come the end of the semester, tell him the paper still is not good enough and he has to turn it in as a project. It's a scam! A ponzy scheme or something!

We talked way late last night...he's going to call and say he was told that his classwork was done last semester and that they were just waiting for him to turn in the thesis so that he could graduate retroactively in December. So he *would* have taken the 2 required hours the semester he graduated...not this semester, but last.

Does that make sense? He has to have 2 credits the semester he graduates.

It's a stretch, I know.
