Recurring patterns

Assessment materials misaligned with learning activities

Pre-Assessment (PA) and course/practice materials not aligned with the Objective Assessment (OA), causing PA performance to not predict OA success

  • [One thing that has always annoyed me about WGU is that a person can do so well on the Pre-Assessment and fail horribly on the Objective Assessment.]

Missing required templates or assessment resources

Required course resource (study guide) missing from course folder with only a vague 'being updated' response and no workaround or timeline

  • I just started and went to pull the study guide, but there is nothing in the folder. I reached out to the instructor group to ask about it and they replied, 'we are updating it'. They gave no other explanation or work around.

Proctoring rules and exam platform burdens

Proctoring policies and identity/room-check procedures applied rigidly or without clear exceptions, leading to exam interruptions and student confusion

  • First, the proctor became angrier and angrier that I would not show them where my phone was... She would NOT accept my phone was on another floor.

Excessive course scope or redundant remediation

Course content is overly long and fragmented (many long video subsections per topic), creating excessive time burden and poor pacing

  • Each “Topic” has like 5-7 subsections and each subsection has over 60 minutes of videos in each. Are you all suffering through this? Watching 5-7 hours of videos per topic?!?! There are 11 topics… this seems wayyyyy too long. I am 4 chapters in, and spending 5+ hours for these videos is too much for me.
