I am thinking about finishing up using Excelsior Web CT courses. This is the only format that Excelsior offers for the courses that I need. Can anyone tell me how the Web CT courses work? What is expected for assignments? Is there a bunch of writing? (term papers, ect?) I work 3rd shift and alot of overtime, so I can't spend all day working on assignments. If anyone has taken courses in the Web CT format, I'd appreciate any insight or opinions.
Hunter, I would NOT recommend doing the EC courses if you can take exams instead. I signed up for two CD ROM courses - which are supposed to be more self-paced than the WebCT. They were self-paced, but for one I had to write 4 essays EVERY WEEK! :eek: The other wasn't as bad, just had to do a mid-term and a final, but I could only turn them in on certain weeks. I couldn't speed it up. I'm doing 3 EC Exams for my UL arts and sciences (see my world pop thread) which aparently no one else is doing, based on the fact that no one responded!!
