Natural World Courses - darthweezy - 06-26-2019
I need 2cr to finish off ASNSM SC. Any suggestions? I've already taken Environmental Science and Pharmacology. Intro to computers is falling into the required classes as well. I would prefer straighterline but am open to others. I think I read one time that there was an Astronomy class that could be taken to fit in here but I couldn't find the thread when looking it up.

They have it on onlinedegree.com, InstantCert credit(brand new), and probably other sources. Study.com also has tons of options in physical sciences/natural sciences.
What's your priority: speed/ease or price?

Speed and easy would be preferable. I really don't like the idea of anything with a lab.

I highly recommend OnlineDegree.com's Astronomy. Other Astronomy options I know of are DSST, InstantCert and Study.com

Isn't Onlinedegree.com the one where you'd have to watch a ton of videos? If it's anything like the Python class that class is a hard pass for me. The price is great but I'd rather pay a little more and be able to do it quicker.

Since you prefer StraighterLine, they have several courses. The best option from them would be the Nutrition course, it's a perfect match to go along with the Environmental Science. I have that listed on my degree templates, those are the two I placed into the Natural Science requirements.

Ahh I didn't think about Nutrition. Thanks!

@darthweezy - curious what your Pharmacology course came in as in TESU. It says on SL site that it comes in as BIO - 203 but on my eval it says it came in as PHA 101!
I have a call into my advisor because I was banking on that coming in as a BIO class to get another 200 level in my LL AOS.

I think Online Degree is quickest. I use the transcripts instead of watching the videos. Some transcripts are better than other though. Their Python course seems much harder than the others (especially if you don't have prior knowledge of Python).

Have you completed the TEEX courses? One of them (I believe Cyber 201) transfers in as CIS-244, which is regarded a Science course.
