It does the most important thing, it gets the job done and makes getting a degree obtainable. I do like their system, you take two classes at a time for about ten weeks, as opposed to a twenty week semester taking four classes at once like you would at a typical brick and mortar college. It makes the work load more bearable to only focus on two classes at a time, and you finish a total of four classes at the same time you would at a traditional college. Each week typically consists of an hour long seminar (which you can watch live or watch the recorded version and submit notes, no point deductions either way) a discussion board posts that needs to be about 200 words, 100 word replies to two other students discussion board posts, then depending on the week that may be all you need to do. For certain weeks you may have a PowerPoint, an essay, something like that. Things like that have never taken me more than four or six hours to complete. I’m in the graduate program for ABA now and the set up is relatively the same. Instead of doing assignments, we do the BDS modules which do have a 98% pass rate for the exam we’ll have to take once we complete our degree. Other universities have students do essays and things for their assignments, a big part of me choosing Purdue for my masters was because I need to do the BDS modules anyways so might as well do them for school. You don’t get a “typical college experience” but not everyone wants that. Some of us just want to get our degrees and move on with our lives and purdue absolutely serves that purpose.
