new limit for those confused: minimum 16-weeks to finish a full credit class
Edited to add: I have found out the 16 and 8 week limit may not apply to every single course, it might vary depending on difficulty of the course, and be based on how long it takes for students to “master the material”
But the the support email said:
- Minimum 16 weeks to finish full credit(1.0) class
- 8 weeks for half credit(0.5) class.
if you start a 330 step full credit class, divide by 16 = ~20 steps a week allowed.
- Other changes:
Apparently starting September 1st watching science live is no longer required for the scholarship, instead scholarship families will be asked to approve their student’s writing assignments (essays), before they go to teacher review.
All of your essays will also be saved in a collection “Acellus notebook” that will be apart of your graduation record. (I’m assuming to stop people from typing random things unrelated to the prompt)
Also there is a new service to detect if the schoolwork completed was by the student, if it’s detected that someone else has completed your lessons, the lessons completed will be “removed from the system.” And this may be grounds for termination of the scholarship.
I’m not sure if all of these are permanent changes, but this is the stuff I saw so far
