Hello,
I have a much younger brother (age 25), who I have taken under my wing to mentor and am prodding him to earn a degree. He has washed out of a few degree programs in the past. However, he has realized he needs to buckle down and obtain a degree. He has about 36 RA university credits and is working on Sophia courses. Anyways I wanted to ask a few questions for him in regards to UMPI:
1. Are they mostly written or exam assessments?
2. Do courses contain one or 2 assessments like WGU or are there multiple ones in each course?
3. Are there any group projects?
4. Are there proctored exams, if so which service do they use?
5. Are there requirements to interact with an instructor?
6. Are there limits on how many courses you can take per term?
7. Is the payment rate capped for the life of the program or can one expect tuition increases? (I will be the one paying for my brother's degree if he decides to enroll at UMPI)
Thank you to everyone who responds!
