My MAOL progress....for any adults looking for another reference point on how long it will take. Just over midway in Fall 2 Session (8 weeks) - Started on 10/26, and I just submitted my 3rd final
This is working full-time, volunteer work, two kids who play soccer, and activities on the weekend.
The reading is a ton, and some of these papers are very long but in general if you have life experience to call upon the material seems to truly reward life experiences professionally and personally, if you are in management this should be a refresher with reference to acedemic and theory which is good.
Based on my progress, I will finish in two sessions. I had hoped for one, but it's not in the cards!

Amazing progress!!
How much writing are you having to do per class these days? Back when I was doing it, most milestones were 15-20 page milestones essays.

I agree, when I was doing the MAOL, it felt quite writing intensive; and I love writing

About 10-14 pages, (OLS 530 was longest at 16); some classes had multiple items to submit.
I ended up finishing 5 classes for the fall session. Based from what I read, the initial classes were the toughest, so hopefully at that pace, I can finish up in the next term
