There are no professors at WGU. There is no one who can "just pass you". There are Course Instructors who help you with the course material. There are also Evaluators who grade the papers/projects. These 2 roles are entirely different people who do not mix together. The Course Instructors do not know what questions are on the exams. They're not allowed to know.
Yes, there have been people who graduated in 6 months. Many transfer in credit. Most are already working in the field their degree is in so they know the material already. They just need the diploma to prove it to employers. It's not a degree you can get in 6 months without a great deal of effort. The graduation rate is high because this school is designed for working adults. Few 20 year olds attend WGU. It's mostly working adults who need a degree to further their career or to make a career change. The age of the students has a great deal to do with graduation rates.
