It's a bummer that Penn Foster has raised the price so aggressively over the last two years. They had a nice lane with a solid collection of UL business courses at $225. Since their program doesn't require an exam service for courses with proctored finals (free options: librarian, a supervisor at work/HR, Degree holder); this price increase makes them vulnerable to others options in the market place. I enjoyed the courses there but would have chosen other options at the current price point.

Hi BearEDU and everyone else on this thread,
Thank you for all the great discussion. We have some good news though! We reduced the number of assignments, since we received a lot of helpful feedback that we had far too many, AND the course is still credit recommended for 3 upper division credits. This credit recommendation will continue until the next several years and is not subject to change.
Thank you,
The Study.com Team

I struggled to get going on the case studies as well, and I did the course when there were 4. My best advice is to just find a similar case study in length online and use it to form your own. Remember, you can resubmit after getting them graded the first time. Use that to your advantage and send in a rough copy to get some feedback. I wish that I hadn't wasted so much time worrying about the papers, and had just pounded them out instead.

Hey guys! Really struggling with the assignments! I'm super confused, trying to find a relevant case study online, and everything seems just too long and not exactly what I'm looking for. If anyone could help me out with examples or any tips at all I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you.
