Cheap ACE Approved College Courses- Coursea.org - mm1988 - 03-16-2013
Coursea.org offers cheap ace approved college courses. On February 7th, ACE approved five of them for credit:
"Pre-Calculus" and "Algebra" from the University of California at Irvine; "Introduction to Genetics and Evolution" from Duke University; "Bioelectricity: A Quantitative Approach" from Duke University; and "Calculus: Single Variable" from the University of Pennsylvania.
Just go to coursea.org and search for one of those courses, and sign up for the signature track program. They have a financial aid program too, but I am not sure how it works. I believe the final has to be proctored by Proctoru for $25. The Bio-electricity course is recommended for 2 credits upper level in Biology. TESC might consider Genentics upper level, but you have to ask an advisor. This might be good for a natural science/mathematics or a liberal arts major.
