Honest Opinion Wanted: How easy is WGU?

[withrown]

So I came across this Reddit thread from a year ago where someone claimed they completed a master’s in a month. I assume this was the Tempo program. [url=https://www.reddit.com/r/Teachers/comments/15pkww6/comment/jvy8hir/][/url]

Now, WGU has been discussed quite frequently in the forum, but particularly alarming is this individual claiming they breezed through the instructional & design program in such a short time - 1/3 of a term, and that one of the classes involved basic photoshop skills…


Can anyone confirm if this is true? If it is, it doesn’t sound like you can learn anything at all…

I started a WGU degree but switched to a more traditional program which better fit my needs. I suspect the people who complete that quickly get a heads up on the coursework/grading peramiters and start some of those assignments before they enroll.

Learning is relative - if you already are competent in the skills the degree "teaches" you may just need the piece of paper to qualify your knowledge.
