I added a minor to my original degree through Athabasca. My sentiments echo the one above. I took five classes. Two of the instructors were decent and would say what to brush up on when exam time rolled around, the three others couldn't be bothered to help when I had questions. I also found the center in downtown Calgary pretty difficult to deal with when it came to taking out a book or DVD. The courses I was taking were all humanities based, so I don't know if that's where the issue was.
The course extension was a positive aspect though. Athabasca is decent for folks who have a busy career and/or lifestyle and can't devote all of their time to their studies. Life throws curveballs at you and allowing a course extension is very helpful.
