Hello all,
I managed to fail Microeconomics badly today. I used Peterson's, IC, sparknotes, and wiki as resources. For some reason I wasn't able to dissect the questions and time became an issue. Macroeconomics was much easier with much less study involved. I'll post specific exam info for micro.
My QUESTION- Can anybody recommend another method of obtaining credit for Micro? I've looked at online courses provided by community colleges, but they take many, many weeks. I'd like to do an online self-paced course if anybody knows of one? Any info is appreciated.

LSU is an option:

Depending on where you are getting your degree from, Penn Foster might also work for you. The have Economics 1 and 2. They are ACE approved, but on the ACE recomendation it list both courses as being macroeconomics. Excelsior has confirmed it is a typo and accepts Eco 1 as Macro and Eco 2 as Micro. You will need to get approval from your advisor before pursuing this. They have approved it for me. I am waiting for my boks to arrive. They are $60 per credit. Based on my login to Penn Foster it appears that Eco 1 has 8 chapter exams and Eco 2 has 4. Neither are showing a Proctored Exam listed, but it's possible they could appear later after I complete the chapter exams.

[COLOR="Navy"]I'm sorry that you did not fair well on your micro exam, this can happen to the best of us and it has.
I would like to just add one other incredibly valuable resource here for those who are pondering taking either macro or micro and that is of course the Standard Deviants tapes/dvd.
Someone had asked in another thread about the use of the SD tapes/dvd and I would like to once again sing their praises when it comes to breaking the information down into small, digestible tidbits while also making it fun (if you like twisted humor) and really letting all of the material become clear and concise.
As you can see below I have added an incredible (and colorful) list of many invaluable study sources to my signature section so that can be reviewed with each and every post I write.
Please take it from one who knows and used ALL of these resources and would not have been able to complete 1 degree, let alone 3 degrees without the use of many study resources. IC is second to none, but the use of many other resources may just be the difference between passing and failing or between getting an "A" or a "C."[/COLOR]
