The trial course is noncredit bearing and nongraded. It was created to give you a first-hand experience of FlexPath to help you decide if it’s a good fit before you enroll.
The trial course is not evaluated, so you can take as much time as you want. As a FlexPath student, you pay per 12-week session rather than per credit. You also choose your own target dates for completing coursework. This means you can take extra time when you need it and move faster when it’s convenient for you.
Assessments measure your competency in targeted areas within your field of study. Assessments can include case studies, research papers, presentations or other assignments that ask you to apply your knowledge to real-world situations. See sample assessments in the trial course.
No, you don’t have to write a paper. There’s no pressure in the trial course. Feel free to explore the courseroom and sample assessments to see how FlexPath can help you fit higher education into your life.
The trial course itself is not graded or evaluated; in fact, there are no letter grades in FlexPath. Instead, students are evaluated on competencies. These are defined as the skills, knowledge and abilities required to show mastery in a topic or course.
In the trial course, and in all FlexPath courses, a list of suggested resources is provided for each assessment.
