University of Wisconsin has a self-paced, competency-based program

Okay, so I finished my call with the success coach earlier today. Here's what I learned.

The Call
The call went how you'd expect. From asking questions, I learned a bit more about the program. Here are some highlights:

• Most students complete 2-3 classes per subscription period. Some have even managed to get to 6.
  
• One of the hardest classes is Law for Health Care Consumers & Professionals.
  
• One of the most popular classes to start off is Human Pathophysiology I, ironically an upper-division course. It's popular because it has less assessments than other classes & has an easy-to-follow structure.
  
• Teachers return your work in about 3 - 4 days on average.
  

I am currently working on my 4 Term Plan. I have the opportunity to choose whichever classes I want to begin with (minus one of them, which has a prerequisite). You can work faster than the plan, but you do have to update it to account for any changes. The plan is not binding. I have to contact the success coach each time I add a new class.

Certificate - HEALTH CARE INFORMATICS
From the follow-up email to the call, I was encouraged to look into the Health Care Informatics certificate.

This certificate has 6 classes, only 2 of which are part of the degree program. I probably won't do it for that reason. Still, it seems like an interesting credential to have if anyone wants to add it to their resume.

Syllabi
I was sent each course syllabus for my major's required classes. I won't upload them all since that would clutter the post (just putting one). Here are the number of assessments for each Health Sciences course.

• Introduction to Diagnostic Medicine - 6
  
• Leading Healthcare Professionals - 6
  
• Healthcare Delivery in the United States - 7
  
• Introduction to Complementary and Alternative Medicine - 5
  
• Disability: Society and the Person - 5
  
• Inclusive and Disability Programs in the Community - 6
  
• Human Pathophysiology I - 4
  
• Ethics and Values in the Health and Fitness Professions - 6
  
• Law for Health Care Consumers and Professionals - 7
  
• Teamwork in the Health Professions - 4
  
• Professional Development in the Health Professions - 9
  
• Introduction to Client Diversity for the Health Professions - 4
  

This puts the total number of assessments at 69.

The syllabus I've uploaded is for Human Pathophysiology I. I'm open to sending the others to anyone interested.

Other Notes
Since a session is 84 days long (12 weeks), someone should be able to complete the degree in one term if they were to average 0.82 assignments per day. If you were to complete one assignment per day, you would have 15 days remaining in the term. Now we just have to see if I'm able to advance through the courses while waiting for teacher feedback (which will make a huge difference).

There is a payment plan that lets you pay the $2,250 tuition in two installments.

Well, I'm off to work on that 4 Term Plan now!
