Comment: There are sufficient oddities in the referencing to make me doubt the pedigree of this online college. The major issue is dead links. That's not a good look. Otherwise the lack is of significant coverage. Passing mentions are there but not significant coverage. I have inspected the first 12 references. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 20:02, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
