Have you taken any courses in any of the Penn State Great Valley programs?
Based on interactions with co workers who are currently going to PSU-GV,
the exams are simple. You are not supposed to get 100% on a
graduate level exam, especially if you did not study. On the other hand
the coursework seems to be relatively complete, if not challenging.
I would echo the "relatively complete, if not challenging". I have taken most
of the CS Continuing Ed courses offered at GV/PSU, but none of the Graduate
courses at Great Valley. So Akintayo, were the people you know really taking
the Grad courses? Most of the Continuing Ed courses require little or no book
reading, only reading or skimming the in-class handouts and working on your
mini-projects throughout the 7 week courses. There are no finals exams ***
only a final project in most courses for Continuing Ed.
I can't be sure, but they have to take final exams, midterms and
complete class projects. Three of them are working on MIS graduate
degrees and the other a CS degree, so I think it would be the graduate
program. On the other hand the courses are quite short, so maybe they
are the cont education variety. I never asked.
