Maybe with one section I want to watch a video while I actually want to read another section.  It's so easy to miss something in the text that you wouldn't miss in a lecture or vice versa. As long as the lectures are actually interesting and not read by Ben Stein ("Bueller? Bueller?"), it'd be great.

I have not taken a CBE course where the reading took as long as 45 50 minute lecture videos. I have watched part of a class on OnlineDegree and I fell asleep! The guy was that boring and monotone. When I watch videos on Coursera for a certificate I'm working on, I watch them at double speed and thankful that works! When I watched the USF DEI video on LinkedIn, I couldn't watch them on double speed. I switched to YouTube to see if I could watch it faster and I could. I was so excited. Those videos were all over 2 hours long and that's just too long at one time.

If it's 45 50-minute videos or no degree, of course I'm going to pick the videos. Not everyone who has the intelligence to obtain a higher degree is going to be capable of polishing off piles of written content. It really is a shame that non-neurotypical persons are discouraged from getting the degree that they want due to these requirements. Not being able to focus on a textbook for an hour doesn't mean that you're stupid or unworthy of a degree.

Whoa. I never said anyone was stupid or unworthy of a degree. I suffer with ADHD and struggle to get through reading. If I make it through a paragraph without my mind wandering off, it's pretty much a miracle. 

The OP is also in grad school. Grad school is well known for the large volume of reading. If they want more videos, then they should contact Walden and ask for more videos. There are some accommodations made for folks with disabilities.

Online schools don't have full time professors. They have adjunct instructors typically. The instructors don't create the courses and coursework. They're there to grade the assignments basically.

If you really want more videos, you should contact Walden. I don't know how the CBE program is at Walden. I know UMPI had videos in most lessons in the undergrad program I was in. The videos were not a replacement for the reading material though. The videos were to enhance the reading the reading material and show examples.
