UMPI YourPace ACE (Sophia) Transcript Results

[ss20ts]

I'm kind of wondering why some people are pushing the competency-based thing so hard lately.  I honestly don't understand it.  I mean, I definitely understand the cost-factor; but especially for newbies, that's not a great thing to tell them right off the bat.  People need to understand the downside of it too, and all anyone says are the upsides.  If a new person to the forum hasn't proven to be able to finish even 1 course quickly, how in the world can you in good conscience encourage someone to sign up for CB??

I didn't think I would be good at a CBE program. Then I took some Sophia courses and discovered I could do it. I set a schedule which I work hard at maintaining. My goal is to get done ASAP which means I make sacrifices such as no vacations. Not a problem with COVID! LOL CBE is definitely not for everyone, but for many people it works well. Why do you think over 45,000 people have graduated from WGU?
