The statement “the vocabulary for WGU is unique” should be a clue to those reading these posts that there is a problem. The vocabulary is not the norm ,therefore, misleading.

By all the homework, I was referring to the COURSE OF STUDY work that you would not have to take if you actually knew it. If all you want is a diploma without actually proving you can do anything, I am sure there are other colleges that will gladly run you through assignments, and tasks, and papers, then 3-4 tests plus a final and not be concerned if you actually retain anything or learn anything beyond the test.

I have never attended a diploma mill, so I cannot reply to that idea.I know I said this before, but, I have had to transfer because of the Air Force, and I have over 200 credits.Nothing that was required of me in WGU’s tasks was new, unique, or helpful.There are schools that offer assessments that require a foundation of knowledge. These efficiently evaluate one’s knowledge. So, the idea that WGU HAS to do them this way to be sure people know what they are doing is just crap!

They spelled out everything for me. Sorry your experience was so terrible. I am sure there is a college near you.

“University level work” sounds as though you are implying that I am unaware of what real college level work is. That is really funny as I probably have more credits (and the knowledge to go with it) than the administrators, teachers, and mentors at WGU. If it weren’t for transfer issues, I’d have my doctorate! It sounded as if you were speaking down to me, but perhaps not.

I also am a student at WGU. 10 months in, I am close to hald way through my bachelor in IT degree. The more time you put into your studies, the faster you will graduate. They send you places to take your tests, so cheating really isnt an option. From my expereience, it is a better school than what I have heard of other online colleges. You and your mentor can pick when you want to take specific courses. Take your laptop on vacation with you and you can spend down time on studies. Go WGU.

I am a student at WGU and I got credit for many of the units I had accumulated from other colleges. I also have taken as many as 21 units in one semester because WGU let me progress through my program as quickly as I wanted. I also saved a lot of money this way because I pay by the semester, not by the unit. It is also a non-profit university so it is very affordable. I am just about finished and my 2 years of courses has cost me less than $12,000.

I really like WGU, I like the accountability and I enjoy talking with my Mentor. I have gone to Baker Online and a local college online, and nothing compares to the education I am receiving at WGU.

I love WGU. It is challenging, well paced, and they provide a lot of support. It is not a diploma mill, it is competency based so you have to prove you know the information. If you took shortcuts in other programs – you’ll find out pretty quickly. If you think you are all that because you have x number of hours and think you know it all already, you’ll get to prove it pretty quickly.

Worth the money, worth the effort . . .quality school, quality folks.
