They are not all papers and the grading for the level of course is much more strict. You can't go in thinking you will finish in one maybe even two terms. Even if you had the skill and knowledge, you will have road blocks like the grading instructor speed. There only so much you can do yourself with the limitations of the doctoral program. I could be wrong but the one in a million guy who speed run wgu program in like 3 weeks will not happen at south college. The disseration alone will take one term but more than likely two for the vast majority of people with dedication to the program. If you think you are special or will do something that no one else can with writing you will fail. I quit my my side hustle, free lancing, and spent every night working on my classes. There room to speed up, don't get me wrong but they also grade you hard on your writing mechanics and flaws in formatting.(03-07-2025, 12:15 AM)3ichael7ambert Wrote: I would like to know how many assignments per class and the required length of each paper.I completed my MBA from WGU 9 years ago, it's similar but requirements at South are more research oriented and there are no proctored exams.
I assume every assignment is a paper, and we aren't doing PowerPoint presentations.
I'd like to gauge the workload related to the relevance of WGU or UMPI before I enroll in the DBA con IT.
I am currently on my final OA at WGU for my MBA in IT Management and have completed my MAOL from UMPI.
Not every assignment is a paper. Some are electronic presentations using video, text, and speech. Others are infographics. They each build on the previous. There's no uniform length for papers, depends on the assignment - average is 10pgs or less.
