Somehow, I missed several replies to this thread. Thank you all for replying. I'll reply to your each of your posts individually, as soon as I can.

Sorry to butt in to this thread but I figure the answer to my question could help the OP.
It's an excellent question and not one that I know the answer to, however, an answer would certainly benefit multiple parties who will likely read this thread.

I believe they will if the Ed4Credit courses are ACE accredited. I CLEP'ed out of Comp 1 and 2 personally.
The ACE website shows both English Composition I & II provided by Ed4Credit are currently approved for credit by ACE.
Please note, as of this writing, they are only approved through 31 October of 2019. If it's at all close to this date and you question whether you can finish either course by the deadline, be aware Ed4Credit, like several other education vendors, may not choose to continue their accreditation with ACE. If that happens and you don't complete the course by 31 Oct 2019, you will not receive credit for the course. Probably most of you know this but it's important, in my mind, to continue to reiterate these details for newbies.

Often times they have spelling and grammatical errors as well. So for this course, the layout is not intuitive.
For a course like DDDM I wanted to watch some of the videos people said were helpful. Those were tucked away and I could only find them because I knew the person's name who made them so thankfully the search was useful. The task instructions for DDDM were very vague and it took a lot of feedback from people who completed the course to figure out exactly what the rubric was asking for.
That's valuable feedback, Johnmford! Thank you!
In today's world, I find that unacceptable. WGU has no excuse for that type of disorganization, errors, lack of proper documentation and links as well as lack of quality and clarity. A 10-year-old could do a better job of all those components.
Is it accurate to say this is a one-off and most of WGU's courses aren't this horrible?

Can someone give me heads up on the courses for BS Business Management in regards if each course is OA and PA. Thanks I would appreciate it.

This probably should have been its own thread, but I'll throw in my 0.02. WGU updated their curriculum for the BSBM on 1/4/19, so it'll be hard to predict what's what. You might want to go through the course numbers listed here: https://partners.wgu.edu/Pages/BSMG.aspx and run a search on Reddit in /r/wgu or a Google search.
