So Saylor announced today, a couple of their courses have now received ACE recommendation!
I don't really like their courses, but it's a great for people who do like it!
Courses are Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Sociology, Psychology & Environmental Ethics, Justice and World View.
They have now 20+ courses for college credit.
Saylor Academy now offers over 2 years worth of tuiton-free college credits with new ACE recommendations | Saylor Academy
Good luck every one to anyone who uses them!
Goal: BA/BS in Psychology

The site worded this as if they have a Psychology Ethics course available, and I was excited because that'd make TESU's BA Psych fully testable minus the capstone, but that's not the case. What they meant was their Intro to Psych , Environmental Ethics both got credit. Bummer.
Good news for people that need these though!

I appreciate the ability to take these courses for cheap. But, we already have about a thousand different ways to take Econ, Psych & Sociology. I really wish they would look at courses that are HARD to find, instead of these that we already have.

Glad to see Saylor's super low-cost credit offerings expanding, but I'm with dfrecore: it would be nice to see more variety out there.
I'm sure it's applicable to someone's situation, but I wonder how terribly useful a one credit Intro to Sociology is.

Saylor also removed most of its science courses. I have no idea why. They now only have two biology courses. I was going to use their other biology courses for PLAs, but I guess I'll be looking at SL, Study.com, and Uexcel instead.

Quick question --
With Saylor, can you jump right to the exam without having to work through their bizarre course setup? Or are there quizzes/other checkpoints you have to pass before the final is available?
I'm hoping to just read a textbook and take one of their tests instead of going through mountains of extraneous information on the topic

Am I right in thinking there are only 7 ACE approved Saylor courses now? There only appear to be 7 on the Ace credit lookup, but the Saylor website claims it has way more that are ACE accredited. Are they hidden under another organisation?
