The courses are designed so you don't have to attend lectures, Dave. Despite not being in a regular class situation, you still get the same level of education as you would otherwise. They give people who don't have the time, or the opportunity to goto an uni the chance to do the same courses as their uni-bound colleagues are attending. Yes, they are self paced and such, but you get the same level of attention as would at a class in uni. More so in some areas, actually. There's no great shakes for attending a class at uni...it can be very stressful and not very productive, plus you don't have all the distractions which are present in an on campus class situation.
If you were getting HD's that easily in your subject, you should've considered doing the masters degree at least. If you were so inclined, you could go onto the PhD. That way, you would find it much easier to converse with the pro's on their own level, simply because you'd have the necessary academic qualifications to back yourself up.
