Elmwood Institute MLM - My Experiences

[TINASAM]

I honestly have no idea whatsoever on who they take or why. The classes I was in this month it showed me being the only participant in both of them.

I honestly have no idea whatsoever on who they take or why. The classes I was in this month it showed me being the only participant in both of them.

Hearing that, what is the likelihood that:

1) Everyone else lost interest ?

2) Everyone else flunked out ?

3) You are the only person accelerating ?

[TINASAM]

I've honestly no clue.

It still shows 8 students in the MLM program. There are 4 showing in the first course (me and three others). Two in the upcoming fourth course (me and one other), and just me in course #2 and #3. That's all I can access at the moment.

I am in the MLM as well. I plan to take the final for the first course tomorrow. I think the other courses are out of sync for us all and that's why we aren't seeing others. I am enrolled in two courses currently, and in the first one there were multiple students but the second one it looks like it's just me.

That's interesting. Mine are being enrolled exactly as how they are listed here: https://www.elmwoodinstitute.org/molm

Good luck. I was accepted and am looking to start probably in Oct. I sent an email to Laurie last week regarding the self paced but haven't heard back. Do you know if the "term" ends as you finish the course or does it run the full 16 weeks?

The term is really self-paced. Although you're given 16 weeks to complete one course, you're free to complete it as quickly as you'd like and move on the the next course. You can complete as many courses as possible with each 16 week term. I'm at the end of my first course and will complete the final exam tomorrow. I'm extremely happy I chose this school due to the price point and my interactions with my professor.

I enrolled the day it was posted here and got a response that I was accepted after sending in the questionnaire and all the transcripts the day that I began this thread.
I will be posting more as soon as I get registered and logged in and my studies begin on September 1st.

And as soon as I posted that I got my registration and logins.

Simple user-friendly interface, I'm enrolled in BUS 602: Essentials of Management. (I opted for 1 because at that stage didn't know I could CBE it and take more each month.)

I'm going to root around in my profile and pay my $75.

So far a very easy no-hassle beginning. Now we'll see how the classes themselves are.

Does "no retakes" mean you cannot retake a test that you successfully completed in order to improve your grade or does it mean you're out of the Masters program when you fail a test?

[TINASAM]

no retakes mean that all tests are one time only, you can't redo them for better credit. I don't believe you're out of the program if you fail a test.

And sorry for the lack of updates through Nov and Dec, I was trying to finish my term at GSU. At the end of January I'll be half done with the program and still on track to finish by April of 2025. Most all classes I've taken follow the same format.... subject competency exams at the end of each module with some "application" assignments which are either tests are essays, research assignments that are just papers, and some have final exams. It's been very straightforward and if I weren't in another grad school while trying to also work I am sure I could have done 2-3 classes a month and be done with this in four months or so.

That's good to know. Thanks!

Essentially, there seems to be 18 proctored exams, after each lesson?  Can't they have non-proctored exams for these and have a proctored final instead?  If this is for one class, that's going to cost people energy, money (if they can't get free proctors), time...

Only the final exam is proctored. I'm a current student enrolled in the MLM program.

You're definitely still in the program even if you fail an exam. I've failed an exam, but earned enough points on the other weighted assignments and still earned an A as my final grade in the course.
