I am working on a Master Degree in Special Education at GCU. You
take one class every 8 weeks. You read 1-2
chapters,(Monday-Tuesday) post on discussion boards answering
questions from the teacher and responding to other students,(Wed.)
you turn in a 250 word journal over what you read(Friday) and a
bigger project due Sunday night. Sometimes it is a report over
what you read 1250 words or a collaborative project with some
other student.Some assignments are submitted to an online
portfolio so you can prove you are learning the standards required
by your state....I am into my 6th class but I got my BA online
from Ashford University, Clinton Ia., so I like online classes.(I
added the days to show you how I try to do it). It is doible for a
full-time working person.
I considered WGU but they never got the Sp. Ed. portion put
together. I hope this helps...PS..I am 55.
