Review of Straighterline's Introduction to Communication
#41
SaebScholar Wrote:Which ones? Im really starting to get in a groove with sl. I want to make my 99 stretch as far as i can this month.

For me I am taking :

Financial Accounting
Managerial Accounting
Intro To Communications
English Composition II

These are mostly going to be walk through courses. I reviewed the course outline for all of them and I have basically covered everything. Just don't have these particular equivalents yet so I am thinking I can finish each in 2-3days. Probably that Financial Accounting one in a Day (minus the proctoring part, heard you have to schedule them 3 days out)

If the convenience is worth $25 to you, you can get a year long membership with ProctorU which allows you to schedule your exams pretty much any time - including for a few minutes from now, if there are proctors available. My son has used it for his Saylor and SL courses and it's been well worth the money to not have to think 3 days ahead about when he'll want to take an exam.
Here Researching for my son, who has done the following:
Community College: Intro to Philosophy, Fundamentals of IT, English Comp 1
Saylor: Intro to Business, Principles of  Marketing, Corporate Communication
Shmoop: US History 2 (WGU won't accept this)
ALEKS: Int. Algebra, College Algebra
Study.com: Personal Finance, Principles of Finance, HR Management, Global Business, Advanced Operations Management
Straighterline: US History 2, Environmental Science, US History, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, English Comp 2, Principles of Management, Business Law, Business Ethics, Psychology, Organizational Behavior, Accounting 1,Communication, Managerial Accounting, Statistics
Ed4Credit: Managing Information Systems
Sophia: Project Management
WGU: Bachelors in HR Management 

Second son is currently attending Penn Foster for his high school diploma, then on to Ashworth for An Associates in Criminal Justice

yeah I plan on it, I need to use proctoru for TECEPs, SL, and 2 exams from my class at Oakton so 25$ will be well worth it.

How easy are the quizzes? Are they straightforward?

They're really easy since it's open book.

I'm trying to find information on their site and can't seem to locate it - my son signed up last April for the one year of "take it now" for $25. He's registered for exams 15 minutes in advance - it's been great. I suggest going to ProctorU's site and doing the help chat to ask whether they still offer this feature. Sorry I can't link you to the details at the moment.
