ALEKS extended to December 31. 2016

[Synicaal]

Well, this looks like good news, obviously! if i were to guess, and its certainly an unqualified guess, it probably means they started the ACE renewal process, and ACE gave them 30 days to complete the review process. After that 30 days, they'll probably be good to go for another few years.

The big question is, as part of the review, do they allow them to continue with un-proctored exams? That's been a question in the past, but with more recent sources like Shmoop receiving approval for un-proctored exams, maybe it's less of a concern?

Talking about the 3 History Courses with this statement:

In my opinion Shmoop doesn't need proctoring, there is maybe 2 or 3 questions that can possibly be "googled" from the final exam. If you haven't taken Shmoop they like to ask very weird questions. If you actually do the chapters then you are fine. If they were to add proctoring I feel they would need to change their format because they pull a bunch of questions for the final from the actual chapters. The challenge with Shmoop isn't really with the final exam its with the chapter tests. Either way the 9 History credits I earned from Shmoop have probably been the hardest credits I earned to date right now. ALEKS may add proctoring, I felt that it was to easy to get through them with being able to use a calculator, or being able to exit an assessment to work out a problem for 30minutes until I was sure I was right. But who know I guess we will see.
