would like to talk to anyone who has taken walden university classes (graduate)

[Sparklette]

I attempted Walden's MHA self-paced program during the 1st round of pandemic shutdowns, enrolling April or May 2020 . It was pretty straightforward but not for me. A LOT of class materials were outdated, like referring to millennials as 18-25 year olds and broken links to resources. The bit that got me annoyed enough to call it quits in the first session was a personal development course that required having LinkedIn and other stuff I don't want in my life. Most of the coursework was fine and the assignments to complete a course section were mainly writing a series of 2-3 paragraphs answers to prompts on a worksheet template with 10-12 questions. A handful were multiple choice exams. And like 5 of the 36 were projects you designed, got approval, and completed.

Also, at least for the self-paced,  you have regularly scheduled phone or Zoom/FaceTime meetings with an advisor. Either once a week or every other week, depending on if you have financial aid. You can also email, text, or call the advisor outside of the scheduled meeting. They do things like close a course section so you can open a new one. That's useful if you got approval on a project that will take you a few weeks to complete so you can bang out a couple other less involved sections in the meantime as you can only have 2 or 3 sections open for submitting work. If you have financial aid , they also let you know if you're on track to keep it.
