Asked by ew.woodI've read close to a dozen questions already on here on WGU, and went through plenty of websites pertaining to the school (aside from their own site, which might offer a favorable opinion). I would really like to know how some students feel about this school, and if it benefited their pursuit of a teaching degree. And I am looking at this for something beyond the "online schools are a waste of time, go to a traditional school" type answer. Is enrolling in WGU throwing away my time and money? Will I be employable after I graduate? (If anyone has gone through their student teaching program, I'd like to know how that went as well).

It is okay. There are Pro's and Con's to it. I have been with them since Sept 05. I am getting my BA in secondary science for teaching. The mentors are great. Very helpful. You get to complete as many hours as you can in a semester. Tests can be somewhat hard. You have to get a 70 to pass most of the tests. A 70 is apparently considered a B at WGU. They have changed some policies that I don't really like. You get to take a test if you do not pass it the first time. Until a two months ago, you to see how many points you got for each question. They took that right away for some reason. I'm talking to some higher ups there about this right now to see if I can get it fixed.
