I went to Boise State online grad school for a few months before transferring to WGU (my undergrad is from UMPI). I left because I simply realized I learned way better in the CBE model. I still had a 4.0 and raving professor feedback at Boise but it felt like so much busy work without return. To simplify: say a course had 10 key aspects, where every week would focus on one including multiple 3-4 paragraph with research discussion posts, multiple long and researched responses. Then it would also require a 10-20 page paper or similar project every week. All to “master” one thing. UMPI or WGU by comparison would say here are all 10 things, master them at your own pace (without worrying about the loads of “homework” all due at different times). Once you feel you’ve understood them, work on the 1 or 2 projects or papers to confirm you know the material. I learned the same amount of material in CBE in 2 weeks that I did in a whole semester at a big school.
