Colorado Technical University

This is a question about Colorado Technical University online.?

This is my first time attending college and my first time at an online school. The problem is that the instructors only seem to give as much information as necessary for one to complete an assignment. The student is expected to teach them self’s at least 60% of the curriculum. I am unable to attend classes because the classes are at night. As a result my questions go unanswered. I have a C average but I don’t feel that I am actually learning anything. I honestly don’t know what is considered normal practice for college instructors. Originally I thought that the instructors were supposed to do all the teaching and my only job was to attend classes and learn. I don’t know if this is a typical college class setting or if I am just attending an inadequate university but I need answers. Perhaps I am expecting too much from CTU Online, maybe I am supposed to be teaching my self. I don’t know what is normal for college. Could some please let me know?

1. I'm not sure about that school but most 'online schools' are not seen as reputable like the traditional schools that offer online courses which most colleges do nowadays. I'm trying to think if I saw that school CO tech on this site: http://www.ripoffreport.com where former consumers voice their complaints about services or such. Former students of university of phoenix started this site: http://www.uopsucks.com For US colleges: http://www.utexas.edu/world/univ
2. Everyone has a different way of learning. Yours appears to be best suited one on one. If you don't feel like you're getting anything out of it, maybe you should withdraw from CTU (although, I know you probably have a lot invested in it) and try to do something with the local college.
