Recurring patterns

Insufficient or low-quality instructional materials

WGU-provided PowerPoint file/template lacks hyperlink or in-document linking functionality (file incompatible with student software/features)

  • [I’m using PowerPoint provided by WGU so I don’t have the hyperlink or “in this document” option.]

Unclear or ambiguous instructions and questions

Ambiguous or conflicting assignment instructions and supporting documents (expectations undefined)

  • [The assignment is massive and unclear...] 'The audience needs are totally unclear to me. Am I supposed to answer for each persona? Based on the UI specs word document, it's impossible to tell.' [...] 'the email the professor sent with pointers for the course seem to conflict with the assignment.'

Note: post_excerpts.json was not available at build time, so some Open post links may fall back to a generic Reddit URL.
