a little WGU MBA review....

[valsacar]

I'm doing the MS in Information Security and Assurance there, pretty much the same story (though many of mine have made it through on the first attempt). Trick is to go through your own paper with the rubric and make sure you hit everything, if you have a friend that could do it as well that tends to help a lot.

I'm nearing the end of my second term, thought I was going to get it done in the first but stuff came up and I had to take some time off (best part of this program IMO). I have 2 courses left to do and then the capstone (thesis and oral defense) and I have 2 months if I want to finish this term... very doable.

Most of my papers have been ~15 pages, cut out 3 for the title/toc/references and that leaves about 12 pages double spaced (so say 6 actual writing). Not too bad, and on par with what a friend of mine is doing at a B&M for a similar program. 3-4 such papers seems normal for most of the masters courses (though some are presentations and not papers, and the last task for each course is normally a bit bigger). I really love the "here's what you need to do, here's the supplies, let me know when your done or you need help" mentality of the school.
