I need to take an informal survey. As many yes/no answers as possible would be very helpful to me.
Do those of you taking exams for credit toward a degree at Excelsior plan to take AT LEAST ONE Excelsior College Exam (ECE or UExcel) to complete your Bachelor’s degree? (If you have your Bachelor’s degree from Excelsior already, did you take at least one Excelsior College Exam (ECE or UExcel)?)
Thanks.

oops I mis-read your question.. so I am changing my original reply. ( sorry).
Yes:
I have taken Uexcel Poli Sci ( both versions).
I signed up for Ethics: Theory & Practice ( I hope to take prior to April 09)
There are also other ECE exams I hope to take ( see my signature line) .
Kinda off the topic of your question : I wish the Religions of the World ( ECE) was part Multiple Choice and part Essay (or all multiple choice- no essay) . I think more people would take it if it was not strictly an essay exam.

I took a total of nine ECEs for my BS in General Business. In retrospect, I believe I could have gotten away with one or two fewer, but I have no regrets.
