- University of the People –a truly bold and noble action; accreditation appears to be a nightmare, a possible fast solution would be if students could gain entry, perhaps via scholarships (raised through local communities/outside benefactors) using UotP results as a guide, into a university that will acknowledge prior learning and provide a final year/semester fast tracked /condensed course.
Reviews
"The depth of your observations from last night is still resonating with me. I'm trying to think of another interview I've given where the questioner understood the material so well that he/she so regularly (and fluidly) went into new intellectual territory. I can't think of any. Pretty amazing. Thank you."
