Its all essays all the time at NCU in most cases.
The reason is there is no class to attend or tests to take.
The syllabus lists 11 graded essays and thats it. I don't necessarily like writing that much but some of these essays are short and focused. Some are just answering 4 questions after reading a 2 page case study. Once you have your intro and conclusion paragraph, you basically have a short answer paragraph per question with citations.
Those small essays make up about half the course work and the rest of them are a little longer. The final one is what I consider long at 13 pages but it is worth 30% of the course grade.
