No. Your assignments are posted on your class website. That's
where you must get your lessons.
How do I get to my class website?
Point your browser to http://ged.free-ed.net
and select your class number from the drop-down menu for Active Students. That will take
you directly to your class home page.
How often do we get new assignments?
New assignments are posted on your class home page every
Sunday morning (except for Admin Week when there are no new assignments).
What is Admin Week?
Admin (Administration) Week is a time when there are no new
assignments. It is a good time to get caught up or take a rest. This special week always
begins on the last Sunday of each month.
How much time to I need to study each week?
That depends on how efficiently you can work. We target the
workload for an average completion time of 4-6 hours a week. Sometimes you will need a bit
more time, and maybe there will be occasions when you can wrap it up sooner. The best
students spend less time because they learn how to work with "study buddies"
among their classmates. Chances are good, however, that you've never had to work this hard
in school before.
How long does it take to complete this GED program?
Try working the math yourself. There are 74 one-week units of
study and you have one week off each month for Admin Week. So figure that will get about
three units of study each month, and you can estimate the number of months to completion.
Nearly every successful
Free-Ed.Net GED student receives their GED before completing this
course.
Why does your program take nearly two years to
complete?
That's how long it takes an average adult who does not have a
good high school education to earn a GED and get ready for college. Actually, many
of our students have earned their GED and started college before completing their work
with us. That's okay with us. Our job is to help you get into college, whether it
takes two months or two years.
Is this really free? If so, how do you
guys pay the expenses?
It is said that there is no such thing as a free lunch. In
other words, nothing is really free. At Free-Ed.Net, the question is, "Who
pays for it?" Unlike most educational institutions, we do not burden students,
parents, or taxpayers. This program is paid for by a bit of advertising and some generous
gifts from a few people who share our vision for free, popular education.
