Bump...

Can anyone provide updates on their experience so far?

I withdrew from mine.  I really wanted to like it, but just couldn’t get past the videos.  I watched several times and just couldn’t connect with any of it.

Were you in the MPH program ?

No, I registered as a student at large.  I’m in an MBA program elsewhere and ACE has a few courses that would transfer for a little lower cost.  I might try a different course at another time, but not sure yet.

I did not watch the videos. I found they kind of dry, although I appreciated them. I actually just read the transcript instead of watching them.

Were the videos like that for all the classes?  I prefer having a mix of videos, books, audio. For me, it’s hard to have to read everything.  And with my class, they wanted a 4 page paper on the first week!  Not sure if that is typical. But it’s not for me.  Blech.  It does make me so much more appreciative of my program at JWMI. So far everything is pretty immersive.  And I like the slower pace (10 weeks). 

All that said, I still think ACE is a fantastic option and would still recommend it to anyone who likes the faster pace and finds reading/writing more to be easier.

I cannot speak to all the classes, but I've taken 16 classes and all of them have offered transcripts with the videos. At the end of each module there is a review video and that offers a transcript too. Each class I had was wild because it was like by the third week when I felt confident I knew what I was doing then the class was almost over. It is a good option for those who want something fast pace, but still has due dates. I know there are self-pace options but knowing myself, I would drag those on forever so they would not work for me.
