I started this class on March 12 and have should have it all done this Sunday April 3!
That is 21 days from start to finish for a graduate course. It will certainly take longer for my mentor to actually grade all of my assignments but it is exciting to be done with the work.
Right now I have been graded on 5 assignments and my grade stands at a 96% for the course.
I have been getting up early and staying up a little later than normal to start and finish papers. I also spent most of the last two weekends working on them but I am very happy about the speed I can knock these out.
The course is basically 11 papers, the last one being a 13-15 page paper.

Given your desire for a self-paced grad program, it soulds like this is working out well for you. Good luck with the rest of your studies.

Wow that's great!! How much of your free time are you dedicating to writing papers? Also, are you working on any assignments during down time at work?
Just wondering if you're doing this full time or part time. It's really amazing!

Sounds like a lot of writing !!! My UL Ethics class at CSU sounds similiar. 10 2-3 page papers with an 11th that is 8-10 pages APA format.
What school is NCU? What is the overall program? I would like to hear some details, very interested in a self paced masters at some point.

I spend a bunch of hours each weekend, get up a little early most days and write papers. Some nights I write papers from nine to eleven but it's not too bad. I did wake up at five this morning to get started on paper ten. I spent just over an hour on it. I read the document and created a thesis statement and a couple of opinion only paragraphs.
The average 3-5 page paper takes about five hours for me now. I do two hours of roughing it out then go research and cite, then put it away. I then work another one and come back to the previous one for final editing.
I have two assignments left to complete. The last is thirteen pages with table of contents. This will take the whole weekend minimum to write.
Worst case im done in four weeks.
My next class, i don't know. I could do a bs class on how to succeed and manage time at ncu.edu or i could do strategic knowledge studies for business. This course is a refresher and a litmus test for undergrad business. Im not in the MBA program yet since i have not been conferred a bsba yet so I can pick almost anything. Once i am in the program i must go in order.
