15 New Courses Coming to Straighterline

[sanantone]

I couldn't find the last thread on Straighterline creating 19 new courses, so I created another one. This is the list of 15 new courses I just got in an email. I'm not too excited about any of them except for the science courses. I could test out of most of the rest or at least find an alternative test.

Cultural Anthropology
Financial Accounting
First Aid/CPR
General Physics II
General Physics II with Lab
Introduction to Communications
Introduction to Environmental Science
Introduction to Philosophy

Thank you for the info sanantone! Also, thank you for the websites you list in your profile. I knew about Khan Academy but not the other sites. I just took a quick look at them. They look very valuable.

Back to SL: I intend to use them for all of my general education requirements b/c I can do them all from home. (I live over an hour from the closest testing site.) So, I'm thankful they are adding more courses. I hope their fees do not increase.

This is great news - I've been waiting for Physics II to finally become available through SL

I still need Physics I & II to finish and have been wanting to take them via Straighterline

It seems like the next logical step would have been for them to offer Biology II and Chemistry II along with Physics. I'm disappointed that they aren't since TESC does not award lab credit for CLEP exams.
