I'm not going to speculate on what has happened to your counselor - other than it sounds like it might be a new hire maybe with a tinge of a quick exit I wouldn't throw the baby out with the bath water over this - provided you make them away something is definitely amiss and give them a couple of days to get it corrected. ...

e-books are definitely a great idea and very appropriate to our technology. The downside, of course, is essentially paying half-price for vaporware - plus being tethered to your computer (or Kindle if you go that route). Thanks, but no thanks! I'm very much old school, and dearly treasure my personal "rain forest on the ...

With the competency-based model, losing credits in transfer isn't the BigDeal(tm) it is in schools based on seat-time If you've already passed the course, this will be a simple matter of reviewing your notes, taking the pre-assessment for areas where you need more work, and a veritable calkwalk through the WGU assessment. ...

Time flies when you're having fun!
Looking forward to hearing more about your experiences at Walden - particularly the residencies.

If I'm going to waste all that time and money commuting, I expect a good lecture - not some stressed out grad student fumbling and mumbling for an hour For me, that's at least an hour each, so do be so cavalier about brushing it aside as trivial. As I said, I'm blessed with a higher than average reading speed, ...

You do get a numerical score on all assessments - if you're concerned about bragging rights The just don't make it to the official transcript. Perhaps in future they will since this has been an enormous stumbling block for graduates trying to explain to future employers, The facts that this method has been approved by ...

My experience with WGU was very positive - but the competency-based model is most definitely NOT for everyone. Check the recent threads here about WGU and IT.
You can contact the other schools now about WGU. Just be advised they almost certainly will attempt to get you enrolled in THEIR school immediately I've never heard ...

ROFL!
Coming of age in the '60s, I honestly cannot recall the left-wing androids actually reading anything. That's undoubtedly still the case - God forbid they every be allowed to have an original thought of their own that has been homogenized and pastuerized by the radical extremists at the top of that dung hemp. then as now - ...

Ron Charles has a delightful article in the Sunday edition of the Washington Post entitled 'On campus, vampires are besting the beats' - no spoilers, however, I would strongly recommend that you put down your coffee before you start reading Or have a towel ...

Then skip it! I was obviously mistakenly under the impression you were thinking about doing something about the inequity It's not my battle either, but for someone it's going to be a great dissertation topic!
What I hope everyone got out of this thread is that what's available in the way of reducing your tuition ...

The relevant questions are first 'why' and then 'what can be done to improve things.'
While I was shopping around for a doctoral program to suit my needs, I didn't put a whole of time or effort into rationalizing a compromise or substitute based on financing. It was clear that I wouldn't be able to accomplish ...

The same principles apply regardless of the delivery mode - whether you're telecommuting in a matter of seconds online, or fighting traffic for an hour each way, four days a week as I am - it's up to you to find financing. The schools can help if they know there are funds available and the hoop-jump-biscuit of accessing them.

This is one area where DL lags way behind B&M I cannot recall a single doctoral candidate who paid for the whole enchilada out of pocket. B&M you have the obvious choices of reduced tuition as a TA or RA, and every semester begins with the ever popular seminar in grant writing Best of all, almost all of these are ...

There's considerably more involved here than accumulating a prescribed set of certifications This is not for all those arm-chair commandos or Walter Mitty types.
Essentially, you are correct - the program at WGU is designed for those with a few years of experience , but more importantly, I think, for those who are actually working in ...

“There is an employment paradox in this country,” said Ellen Alberding,
president of the Joyce Foundation, a Midwestern public policy
organization focusing on economic development. “Even in the midst of
massive layoffs, employers cannot find enough skilled workers.”

Wow! I haven't heard about the Erasmus program since the early '90s!
I think you're going to have to eventually get help through the Erasmus student network - esn.org because an online degree program sounds contrary to what little I know about the purpose of the program. That may have evolved over the last 15 years, ...

Let's put all that aside for the moment, and get to more basic issues.
At any point, high school, employment, pre-enrollment, orientation, have you ever taken multiple-choice tests to help determine your personality type, temperament, or learning preferences? These can be taken online in a matter of half-hour or less, completely ...

Truth is, you may very well be on equal standing with the newly minted BS in the same amount of time, but what you're overlooking is how they are going to move ahead steadily over the next 10, 20, 30 years and you won't if you settle for an AS
Can you take a semester off? Would that help?
Frankly, I think you're too ...

ROFLMAO! A "degree mill"? Talk about the pot would be calling the kettle black!
Seriously: if YOU are not comfortable with this model, then simply eliminate WGU from your list.
I don't know anything about St. Joseph's but I do know that the number of Jesuits has been steadily declining for decades, ...

SteveFoerster:...
But then I'm not the one who hires schoolteachers, so....
-=Steve=-
Neither am I, and I have no interest in running for school board either, but I was very impressed with the bit about wanting more credits in science! That's the kind of teacher I would want for all the subjects being taught in K-12! ...

My fault - I see where I misread your previous post.
Those computer generated models for time to completion are a bit misleading IMNSHO. They seem to be based on a hypothetical 'average' student working no more than 15 hours per week, with generous time off for weekends, holidays, and vacations, a rather pedestrian reading speed ...

The
terms at WGU are 6 calendar months. It's crucial, however, that you
understand the competency based model or you're doomed to be completely
miserable your entire stay (See my other posts or read the program guide for this degree (PDF) on the WGU website. Frankly, I loved the competency ...

No. Is that 'brief' enough for your survey?
Seriously: this sounds to me like something that is specific to Kaplan, thus you're doomed to extremely limited participation here.
Although I've never taken it as a discrete course, it is an integral part of many portfolio requirements for graduation, and appears again in ...

Despite hyping the "fear, uncertainty, and doubt" this recession won't last forever, but your education will.

There's no need for a guilt trip! You did well! Particularly under the circumstances with those rude interruptions for tornado warnings! This recipe failed at the tasting, not the cooking!
I do think the Winter Fruit Sauce has the potential to work - perhaps as a dessert sauce, perhaps pureed, or as a poached pear ...
