Its a very straight forward program, pretty much every class has the same format

Discussion question due on Wed and Fri.....During the wee khave to reply back to so many..think it is 2 responses for 3 days! Weird thing is, one has to make 2 posts (replies) to count. Some profs follow that rule, so do not! They are not overly difficult

And then each week one usually has 1 paper due Sunday at midnight. Some times 2 papers are due. Some papers are short, 500 words, some close to 2000 words, on average, I would say 1200.

And most classes have group projects (CLC) Depending on class size could be between 3-6 of you. Usually 1 has to do up a Powerpoint, and its due week 4 or 5. They should be an easy project if u work together as a TEAM! but u will find they seem to throw in 1 slacker... or 1 who likes to argue, or 1 who never replies to emails,lol So they can be a nightmare, i was fortunate and had decent group projects! Taking the lead is a good thing, as many times, no 1 wants to, so you lose valuable time! keep all communication the group (colour) forum....as the prof can see what is taking place and who is being a slacker

Online classroom was easy to follow, very well laid out

Online library was excellent....if iu need help, u can chat/email with a librarian and they tend to be helpful. I found emailing them got better results!

Its ur typical RN to BSN program..write papers!!! If u can write well, you can zip through....to help with APA...PERRLA is ur friend..well worth the $30....and best of all it saves every reference u use..and its saved up in the cloud, so if u go somewhere else to work on ur paper...u can acccess it!

Save ur papers while working on them often and in different places (thumb drive, cloud, email t to urself)

I enjoyed the program, its not the cheapest, nor the most expensive. The 5 week classes seem to zoom on by

Enjoy
