traditional classroom-based education because:

• You don't have to attend class on campus
• You prove mastery of the course by completing tests and assessments
• Typically, you can retake a test if you fail

As a WGU student, if I have previous experience that directly relates to an assessment I need to take, I can move through the course at an accelerated pace..
