I have been reviewing posts for the past year, and this is my first post. Initially, I was going to enroll at UMPI, but I have been second-guessing my decision since my writing skills may not be up to par. I started taking English Comp. II, but any tips would be greatly appreciated!
I have seen an increase in activity around TAMUC and am interested since their exams are not proctored. However, there is only one degree plan posted.
I am seeking a CBE that will allow me to accelerate, preferably without a proctored exam, which is why WGU was not my original pick.
