Reading about TESU's current issues with Study.com's Communications courses (3 days after I dove into SDC's COM-101 class) is one of the reasons I'm now leaning strongly toward pivoting to a WGU/NAU/Patten program.
There are reasons why I haven't graduated from college after attending 6 colleges/universities over the course of 30 years. I don't love formal education (I tend to prefer life/informal/self-study types of learning). Because of this I tend to view formal education as solely something that is necessary for me to have a job where I can afford a car and a decent set of fishing gear.
I know myself well enough to know that, if I push myself through the slog of a bunch of courses, only to find out that someone has changed the rules or moved the yardsticks while I was working, and I now come up short or have to re-do several things, I'll likely just walk away in anger/frustration/disgust - possibly just a few units short of my degree.
At least in one of the CBE-based programs, I can pretty much guarantee that the work I do the first time will be the only time I'll have to do it. There will be a path and a plan that I can count on. What the Big 3 offers is absolutely amazing - but it might not be the best path for me.
Still thinking and weighing my decision, but this is where my thinking stands currently...
