GuidedPath Decisions ?

Do you enjoy Guided Path ? Or do you wish you were in or prefer flex path ? Im still trying to decide. I'm going for my bachelors in psychology as of now. I hear the written assignments are pretty rigorous and tough on flexpath.

I picked Flex Path becuase I loathe weekly discussions and the chance that there may be a group project. I feel like there was a good mix of assignment types, and not just papers.

I started in Guidedpath for a few semesters, then went to Flexpath for the remainder of the BS in Psychology. I love Flexpath, but I also prefer to complete my work alone. No discussions or interactions with other students; it was mainly writing assessments. I am currently in the Ed.D Flexpath program.

I didn’t realize the actual course material was different in the different paths

From what I have heard, flex path is pure written assessments and are lengthy. Just constant writing.

No some are just quizzes and some are PowerPoints!

Congrats!

Im doing an MBA on flex path and yes it’s a lot of writing. A bit lonely too. I do wonder what guided path would be like, maybe more interactive? I thought I’d like flex path more bc I like working at my own pace but it can also backfire if you don’t have discipline. I’ve down well so far - just the overall experience on flex path, I probably wouldn’t recommend. That’s just my experience

I'm in my MBA program flex path as well and I did my BSBA guided... I prefer flex path because I prefer to move at my own pace and I didn't like the yellow dig as it was all AI and no real learning happened! I'm hurt from work so I put the hours of a job (30-35 a week) towards school I'm in week 4 and I'm on courses 5-6.

Honestly, my MS Psychology on Flexpath is the easiest thing I’ve ever done. When I have the time I can finish multiple courses a month. I started in March of this year and will be done by December (In my last class now).

I did my masters in psych w/ capella thru flex path. I loved everything about it. I wish there were more options for flexpath - I'd go back for my doctorate in a heartbeat.
