How difficult are UoP classes?

[wow]

So let's say I transfer 90 credits to UoPeople and just need to take 10 classes at UoPeople.

For those who have done these classes, how does a typical course go? How long does it take? How many points is the proctored final usually (like half your grade or only like 10%) etc.? Can you pass a class with D? 

Any info from current/former students would be very helpful!

Thanks!

I haven't run into the D issue, but if I remember from the course catalog, if you end up with one or more Ds you might be put on academic probation-- which basically means you need to stop getting Ds within a few terms or they might suspend you until they feel you're ready to come back.

As for the difficulty, that depends on the course and the students' preferences. I am highly self directed and am used to teaching myself things using a textbook and or online sources with very little help from a tutor or teacher, but if that is difficult for you then succeeding at University of the People is going to be a learning curve. Take UNIV 1001 seriously and that will give you a good start.

All the classes I have taken so far have one or more written assignments every week. Discussion posts are basically like writing a short paper and, in my experience, held up to that same standard. Most of the weeks where there are not two writing assignments, there is one writing assignment and a quiz.

I haven't had any proctored exams yet. I think they vary from being like 10% to 30% of the grade. Take that with a grain of salt.
