Walden University's Tempo Learning? Credit By Exam? Searching for an ECE Path!

[SweetSecret]

So, the format for the classes is to write papers? Or is it a mix of that and exams? If there are exams, are they proctored at a place or online proctored?

For the program I am in, so far, none of the exams/quizzes have been proctored and there has not been a limit on the number of times you can take them. The quizzes/exams have been super short too... less than 10 questions I would say generally. Basically you have to pass the quiz before you can write your paper for the course. My program has been pretty much all reading and writing. I have been using some text-to-audio plugins and software to mostly listen to the reading materials.

I didn't proofread and just turned the papers in as quickly as possible. ....  it is best not to proofread and turn things in as quickly as possible.

I sent you a message months ago and never heard back. I think this was one of the questions I was asking about was whether you used the writing center for proof-reading and edits. I don't think I could ever complete as many credits as you with my medical issues, but definitely you seem to have figured out a great method to get through the program quickly. My other big concern has been wanting to make sure I keep up my grades for when I apply to a JD program. If you felt not reading the material did not affect your grades I would be tempted to follow your blazed path of just writing the papers without doing the reading. I'm not sure how close they want our papers to match the reading materials provided.

BTW, I would actually recommend the Walden program.  It was $1800 per term.  Even if it took three or four terms, it is still pretty cheap.

I agree! I tend to do a lot of reading anyhow and with all the MOOCs I have become very used to a heavy amount of reading... so I would easily recommend the program to people who don't mind reading in order to save money.
