New CBE Accelerated MBA from UMass Global

[wow]

People like to complain. People also like to play victim at the slightest adversity. It is a new program and has had some issues and disconnect at the rollout. It has been out less than a week, so I wouldn’t take these comments seriously, at least yet.

  
I experienced some technical glitches the first day or two of the term, but everything has been fine since then.  
I have started the three courses that have been opened up for me. They all look pretty straightforward to me. There are quizzes and three written assignments per course, and the rubrics are clear. Grading for written assignments is supposed to take 24 to 72 hours, and you can't submit the next assignment until you've received feedback on the 1st, so students should expect a minimum of 9 days to complete each course. Several courses can be taken simultaneously, so if you are delayed on one due to waiting for grading, you can keep working on another.

if anyone is withdrawing, I would expect it would be for personal reasons unrelated to the program, or because they thought the program structure would be different and they realized that this type of CBE is not for them.
