Geometry and Credit Banking Options - acamp - 12-17-2020

Good afternoon,
Long time no see everyone. I hope everyone has been well and healthy.

I am looking for a quick and inexpensive provider to complete Geometry. I am leaning towards Study.com since I am familiar with the platform. Any others that are cost-effective as just as good?

And lastly, for those who Credit banked, is TESU the best option for the money?

Thanks all!

For a teacher license, you might want to go with a RA credit option because SDC courses might not be viewed favorably due to their alternate credit status.

You might want to look into Waubonsee Community College just found by gams007. They have Elementary Geometry as Synch Online class (with regular meetings) or Calculus with Analytic Geometry as an Online class (no meetings).

Another option would be Plane Geometry from Westcott Courses. Once completed, Westcott Courses get added to a Brandman University transcript as if you took the course directly from Brandman.

Thank you. Study actually works fine for the cert but do you know of any other platforms for geometry besides study?

Study.com is the only ACE provider with Geometry. The next closest would be ALEKS with Trigonometry.

Keep in mind if you take the course through a CC, such as Waubonsee Community College (self paced option), there will be no need to 'credit bank' as they will already be on a RA transcript (so the overall cost may be cheaper through a CC than banking ACE/NCCRS credits through TESU).

Hello again,
I just searched for he school and the only Geometry class is MTH075 “Elementary Geometry”. Aren’t courses listed in the 0 for the course code usually remedial and not transferable college credit? They don’t offer any other 100 level geometry courses besides that one.

It depends on the school, they use different numbering systems.  Go to their catalog and check to see what numbering system they use - if 0-99 is developmental, then I wouldn't take that course.


Geometry and Credit Banking Options - acamp - 12-20-2020

Hello again,
I credit banked with TESU a few years ago. Instead of paying another $400 to credit bank at TESU, can someone tell me the cheapest TECEP to take?

If I take a TECEP, will that allow me to send SDC courses to that same transcript or will they not allow that?

Also, how much does a TECEP cost and is it proctored like SDC courses?

Lastly, if you fail the TECEP, does it show on your TESU transcript as a fail?

Thanks in advance everyone
