SL Business Communications: Length of each quiz? What are the writing assignments? - bjcheung77 - 05-17-2017
cali86 Wrote:Just going to throw my 2 cents in here.. I think the best option for this course highly depends on the person taking it.. I chose SL simply because I was burnt out on doing all my courses with study.com. I found SL to be less stressful in the sense that I am a better writer than test taker. When I first looked at that course with SL I thought it would be tedious i can say it was a lot of work but actually not as bad as I thought it would be. I was able to complete it in 3 days without any issue.. The grading took awhile for the papers but from the quizzes and a few papers that were graded along with the final I had easily passed before everything was graded.. I would say depending on your child's study style which course is best may depend on that..
Wow, I finished mine in about 6-7 days. You rock... haha!

I had a recent cover letter and resume that I used without looking at the rubric. The business writing assignments were easy and I put in minimal effort, again not even looking at the rubric. The quizzes and final were easy enough that I could have done very poorly on the writing assignments and passed. Even with minimal effort this course is doable. I think it took me 6-8 hours total.

I think there might have been some significant changes to the curriculum since many of you took the course, there isn't even a resume requirement anymore. Sorry for the jacked up copy/paste.

My post is about the Study.com course. After so many courses at both SL and Study.com somehow I got my wires crossed.

Mine is also for Study.com. The OP asked which was easier at the end of the post so that's why I added mine even though most of the post was about SL. When I looked at the requirements for both, Study.com seemed easier to me.

I took this through SL. Each of the topic exams are 10 questions each with a time limit of one hour. Midterm is 50 questions with a two hour time limit. I can't remember the specifics for the final exam. The writing assignments were not bad even though it has been 33 years since I have had to do a writing assignment.

So how long did it take you to complete the SL course?

It took me two weeks because I struggled with the writing assignment.

It depends on how fast each person is in doing assignments and exams.
I didn't even care what they did with my writing assignments and tests.
I just wanted the credit and did it as fast as possible, not as fast as some people though.
