Does anyone know of any Thomas Edison courses that don't require a proctored exam? Or any classes that don't require you to purchase a book?

The only course I know of that does not require a textbook or proctored exam is
SOS-110 Living in the Information Age
6 DF's
7 Writtten Assignments (WA #4 midterm, WA #7 Final)
8 Skills Tutor Quizzes
The course is totally electronic. You are given the required reading material and instructions on websites to use to find your essay assignments. I enjoyed the course.
There are a few others that do not have proctored exam but do have text. Will usually have a lot of writing or a lot of quizzes (ex juvenile delinquency uses a text, no midterm or final but DFs, 14 quizzes and a final term paper min 7-10pgs).
I'm sure others will chime in.

Thanks for the tip, and that Information Age is the course I am currently taking. Good course. I don't mind writing papers or paying for books to much just might have a hard time finding a proctor.

I took SOS 320 and SOC 384. I really enjoyed the gangs class. We had a book, and overall the class was harder than I expected- but I enjoyed it. Stress and Tension was in my bottom 2 classes EVER. I hated the book, hated the class, hated the mentor. :p

I took Juvie but I think it had exams. I enjoyed it. I can't remember my teacher for stress/tension- a woman for sure. She didn't like me though, that I remember lol. (why? because I had an opinion  )

How hard was the SOS 150 course? That seems fairly interesting.
