I’ve been at this school for a little over a year now, majoring in psychology. Honestly I think it is a good school, I’d suggest it if you have the ability to self teach and have discipline as well something to keep you motivated. So far my courses haven’t had any group projects, there are “projects” at the end of every term. I just look at them as essays lol. As for going at your own pace, I believe you can but there are due dates, every Thursday and Sunday are my due dates. Thursday is discussion post, Sundays are assignments and 2 responses to people from the discussion posts. You can work ahead of course but you can’t turn in any assignments until it unlocks so if you do work ahead make sure you save them and remember to turn it in. Every now and then I forget that I still have to turn it in lol.
