What is WGU like?

[ss20ts]

By that I mean what are the courses like? Quizzes, essays, unit tests, midterm, final exam, 10 page papers? Proctoring? Or are there instructors leading the courses? Can you work on more than one course at a time? Is the learning method similar to Sophia or Study.com?

I ask because I'm enrolled at CSU Global and the amount of working making me lose my mind - literally. These weekly 3-5 page papers, lengthy discussions with cited scholarly sources along with multiple responses which need scholarly citings is getting old. Then the last week you have a 8-10 - or longer - page paper due with all kinds of requirements. It's mentally exhausting. There are no breaks for holidays. NONE. This being a holiday weekend, it has been a serious struggle completing everything that is needed on time. I would like to take off a day or two for a holiday here and there but it's not possible with this format. 

Looking at WGU and what I can transfer from my associates degrees, Sophia, and Study.com, I would be done at WGU sooner and save thousands. If WGU can be completed like Sophia and Study.com this would be a dream come true. I'm just worried that there will be mountains of papers.
