Upper Level Course Suggestions
#1
Hi All...

I'm down to my final 3 Upper Level credits before the dreaded Capstone. I had planned on taking a University of Missouri UL online/enroll anytime/self-paced psych course, but unfortunately for me "enroll anytime" evidently did not mean "enroll anytime" if the course is considered "full". banghead - next enrollment date for the course is Oct 28th with a start date in January banghead...The course (Psych 3870 Sleep and Sleep Disorders) seemed like another "hidden gem" - open book home quizzes/2 proctored multiple choice exams - so I'm extremely disappointed.

I'm looking for alternatives - no writing/no grades a definite plus - no math/science/business either:o! I've exhausted my knowledge as far as UExcel's are concerned, and as I mentioned, I would like to avoid a letter-grade exam. Exhausted DSST options (Civil War need not apply Big Grin), and don't see another doable Torah College course...Anyone have a 3 credit UL suggestion?

Thanks so much!

Excelsior gave me approval for Penn Foster courses with ACE recommendation for UL. I recently completed 3 courses in 2 weeks. They are self paced. They did have final projects. I wrote a 10 page paper for one class and a 5 page paper for another. The third class had a final project that was an excel project. Overall, the work wasn't difficult and I managed an A in all 3 courses. That part doesn't really matter since they only transfer as P/F.

BYU Independant Study has a good number of upper division psychology courses, some of which don't have many assignments.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.

Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.

Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.

Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.

Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.

Thanks so much Everyone - having checked out a variety of options, I'm going to look into the one DSST I was completely unfamiliar with but can be applied toward my last 3 UL credits - Business Ethics and Society. YIKES!:willynilly: Not comfortable with the subject matter, but I'll sign up for the IC flashcards and see how it goes...

Again, many thanks for the helpful info!

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this).  Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.
