One SDC course, 6 sh Upper Level in Philosophy

[bjcheung77]

Besides the courses with labs, are there any other 4, 5 or 6 credit courses at Study.com? Hmm, this 6 credit course would be an awesome addition to another 4, 5, or 6 credit course, especially if the other course is also just exams/quizzes, even if it has an assignment or two, it'll be worth the 12 credits for a month subscription for Study.com!

Calculus is 4cr, and there are some courses that are both ACE and NCCRS, and NCCRS gives them 4cr instead of 3cr (Consumer Behavior, Marketing Research, Statistics).

I completed the Philosophy 301 course yesterday. 126 quizzes, a few of which did not have videos to watch with them so had to slow down and actually read. It looks like the text is still the transcript of the video, but the video has not been completed yet. I watched all videos at 2x speed and spent approximately 15 hours total working on the course, plus 1 hour taking the proctored final.

Final result - 258/300 points with 210 needed to pass.
100% quizzes
79% Proctored Final

I will be submitting this to both Excelsior and TESU once I get my written papers back from the other SDC courses I need for my last test out classes at EU. Hopefully within the week so I don't waste $300 just to find out about this one course.

I was just looking at the SDC site and I may need to take another course anyways to ensure I get my needed credits. They have the Philosophy 301 listed as 3LL credits for Excelsior with an unknown transfer equivalency. Hopefully someone can verify that before I submit and or take another course to ensure my completion. My advisor won't be of much help since she has already told me not to take anymore outside courses, lol. I am currently needing 9 UL credits of Art & Sciences with 3 of those covering my Org Behavior, which SDC Bus 307 should cover. I am hoping the Philosophy 301 get brought in as 3UL at least. In either case, I will still be transferring it to TESU as well.

The SDC transfer page for TESU says that Philosophy 301 goes to TESU as PHI-1999. Hoping you can get UL credit, but doubtful that you will.

It does show 6cr as well, so maybe they reviewed it already? Hard to know, but I'd say that I was doubtful it would come in as UL, with no papers/projects included.

Having done several similar courses, I feel that this course has the breadth of a 6 credit class, but does not have the depth of information an Upper Level course should demand. It feels similar to the 6 credit CLEPs for Humanities, Biology, and College Mathematics I have taken.

I thought some of the Spanish courses came in as more than 3 credits but I'm not sure

Nope - two are worth 3cr, and one is worth just 2cr.

ah, well nvm then

For TESU specifically, the most credits you can get out of 2 exams would be 10. But if you want maximum credit (and not pay lab fees), you could theoretically do:

Philosophy 301: Principles of Philosophy - 6 LL credits
Marketing 302: Consumer Behavior - 4 UL credits
Math 105: Precalculus Algebra - 4 LL credits (not sure why this is 4 credits and not 3; their own course is only 3 credits)
Statistics 101: Principles of Statistics - 4 LL credits (again, not sure why this is 4 credits and not 3)
Any other 3-credit class

Total credits: 21. Total cost: $235 + $70 x 3 = $445. $21.20/credit

Is it worth it? Probably not. I don't know what kind of degree plan that'd fit into. But it's an interesting thought experiment.
