The papers vary depending on the assignment and they usually require APA for citations. I use my existing knowledge to write the papers and then find scholarly articles to support my answers. Much faster than reading all the course material, doing research and then writing the paper. All except for global marketing - the amount of research for a topic I know so little about is really cutting into my productivity and driving me nuts.
About half the courses have challenge exams. Quickest way for this is to take handy pre-assessment to determine baseline and create a study plan from the coaching report WGU provides based on the pre-assessment. From there I figure out etext chapters to cover and maybe take a webinar for courses that have a higher degree of difficulty to the challenge exam. Exam gets scheduled for about a week from when I start studying but frequently I feel ready before the scheduled date and reschedule for sooner.
The support from WGU is very helpful with the mentor giving info on resources and instructors sending emailed webinar links - excellent that I don't have to sift through all the course material to find the most useful bits.
Basically, plan the work and work the plan.
