To Succeed YOU have to be a good student.
April 1, 2012
This program is very doable and understandable IF you are a good student. What do I mean by "a good student?" I mean all of the following: 1. You schedule time to do your studies and work and you stick to your schedule. 2. You attend any and all help sessions and review sessions (online). 3. You are diligent about checking your own work. You can catch your own mistakes before submitting assignments (called "tasks" ...

Student teaching placement in Washington
February 6, 2012
My husband quit his job last year in order to start his student teaching. He should have had started his student teaching. He did all the paperwork and gave many school district choices. However, he heard nothing so far. Not only he didn't get placement. There are other science student teaching canidates waiting for one whole semester without work and just waiting. (He is not the only cases.) WGU washington needs to do the job. ...

Not good for math
March 6, 2011
I recently finished the MAT secondary math program. I came to the program with a fairly recent undergrad degree in elementary education from a traditional university, along with considerable experience in live college math courses (taken many years ago), as well as more recent undergrad and graduate courses in special education and general education courses (taken mostly online). I also have almost 10 years of teaching experience in grades 7-12 math, although I was not ...

Love WGU
March 3, 2010
I love this school! I'm a working mom with 5 kids. I got my BA in teaching through WGU about 4 years ago and I've been teaching 3 years. I thought my education was high quality. The only downside is that you don't get all the "state" education tips that you would if you went to a local school. I am now in my Master's program. If you are very dedicated and spend a TON ...

Good if you have strong math background
November 12, 2008
If you have a strong math background, GO FOR IT! WGU would be a great value!! I am in my 4th term. This program has suited me very well- I have a strong background in math and have been able to really accelerate my program- this school is a great option for folks that want the degree and already know alot about the material. You pay by each 6 months- if you can squeeze in ...

Ying and Yang
October 3, 2008
Like with all things there are good and bad with WGU. For the record, I am a very self motivated student with a high academic record having graduated cum luade with a BS from a traditional college after graduating 19th in my class of 350 from high school. Having established that I am an independent learner capable of carving my own path, WGU has some major limitations. The graders and the whole system seem to ...

Not Satisfied
December 24, 2007
I have been very disappointed with WGU. My mentor is not helpful at all and when I ask her a question she doesn't seem to know herself yet she has a PHD in math. One is required to complete these taskstream assignments with no help. The community is not helpful and the assessments one is required to complete has nothing to do with the work you have done in taskstream which are supposed to be ...
