The official guide to courses from the Big Three: COSC, TESU, & Excelsior
#1
Hi guys,

Several people expressed an interest in a thread just like this one: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...YOUR-input

only dealing with courses offered by Charter Oak, Thomas Edison, or Excelsior. I didn't see one so I decided to start one here. I hope Aviator Guy doesn't mind if we steal the same format. So post any course from those three colleges, including TECEP and Uexel exams. 


Provider: 
Course: 
Instructor:
Course content: How is the material presented? Videos? Textbook? External content? Do you have to buy/have other materials?
Final exam format: How many questions? Multiple choice? Essay? Both? A project?
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: Have you seen the information before in the course, or was it a total curve ball? 
Time taken on course: Hours? Weeks? Days? 
Familiarity with subject before course: Never heard of it before taking the course, Low, medium, high, I do this every day. How would you have scored on the final with no preparation?
Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: 
1-10 Difficulty level: From learning the colors to rocket surgery

Study.com - 177 CR. TESU - 39 CR. Middle Georgia State University - 15 CR. Sonoran Desert Institute - 42 CR. COSC - 6 CR. Excelsior - 6 CR. CLEP - 6 CR. Sophia - 14 CR. TEEX - 2 CR. Shmoop - 18 CR. NFA - 4 CR. The Institutes - 2 CR. FEMA - 20ish


BA in History/English from TESU.
