CBE Masters in IT Management from South College

The information I received indicated 3-5 Summative Assessments for each of the nine courses. Is that on par with what you've encountered in their DBA courses?

For the DBA, typically, there are five summative assessments at the end of each competency module, and each assessment can have multiple deliveries.  Prior to accessing a summative assessment, you must complete all of the formative assessments for that competency module.  I believe I have seen anywhere from two to five in a module.  So one course could have ten formatives and five summatives, each with a single deliverable, whereas another course could have 20 formatives and five summatives, each with three deliverables. It's really tough to gauge the amount of work required because the assessments vary in what is required.  One could be a short statement or personal reflection, another could be a multi-page paper.  They can also be very open-ended.  The rubrics aren't as direct as they were at WGU.  If you're an overthinker like me, it can be tough to rein it in and call it good.

Thanks. Good to know. I'll definitely keep them in mind if I can't get into the PhD program I'm trying for.
