PF Strategic Management

[tsimmns]

Yes like AngelaP said. They are set at a specific time and day of the week. However, if you can't make one a certain week you can pick it up the next week.

Final project left and these discussion post. Being away from home for the next week and not having my book I looked at those post and have no idea what they are talking about.

The discussion posts are easy participation credits that's a Pass or Fail, won't be by %, as when I did them, it's all P. Mine aren't too long either, a short subject and 4 sentences of short info, just like the 4 unproctored exams, it is immediately displayed after you finish it. Project is the only slowdown where you have to wait, otherwise I would have finished in 3 days instead of 3 weeks.

Is PF flexible with the webinars because I have a FT job

What do you do? If your job allows you to multitask or work at home for an hour, you can do your webinar anywhere there is a net connection. Some people use their phone when sitting on the bus/train, or something. Are you east or west coast? East coast would be 8-9pm, west would be 5-6pm, you may have just left work at either time.

For anyone on border line thinking to do Financial Management with them, do it... 5 unproctored exams with the online Ebook, and a non proctored final, you can finish the course at the same time as Stretegic Management. You can retake an exam. I had 80 for one, and the retake, I got 100.

Haha, so, you're the one who logged in twice...
I was thinking it may have been someone on this forum...
I wonder who else was logged on besides, the three of us, multi-tasking (lol)

Lol no. I didn't log in twice. I was the one who logged in 20 minutes late. LOL! I thought I wasn't going to be able to make the webinar. I'm glad I know I can use my phone now.

Im enrolling today. I read somewhere on here that I will have to wait for my book before I can do anything. Is that true?

Is pf the only way to fulfill the ul bus courses required? I was hoping I could knock out this strategic man course with pf and complete the rest on sl....maybe study as well. Saylor is too much of a workload lol.

SL has at least two that will transfer in as UL : Managerial Accounting and Organizational Behavior. Business Communications does as well, however, it transfers in to the core/managerial comms requirement, not the AoS.

You can start the Webinars before you get the textbook. I highly recommend starting the webinars right away. They are every Tuesday evening and you have to sign up by clicking on Webinars for "Strategic Business Management" under the course work list. It sounded like there is a way that you can get 3 webinars right away to watch on video possibly from what people were saying on this thread earlier. I just waited the 3 weeks to get mine done and took my last one this Tuesday. The class isn't bad, it's just a huge book. Don't let it overwhelm you though...it's easier than it looks at first!

I know what you mean, you can take 90 credits total from SL, so I will take whatever courses are offered that fits into the degree. SL only has 4 courses total that are UL business that will go into either pro biz or AOS requirements. I used them all and Saylor courses as well in my degree plan to cut down costs. I only took 3 PF to get the hardest ones done faster and because there is no other alternative but TECEPS. I am taking TECEP for Advertising as that should be cheaper. My plan is prob the cheapest/easiest to complete.

Hahah, so I was right, there were 4 of us in that webinar, lol. Me, tsimmns, jawbreakingrr, and you.

really weird...I just called Penn Foster and they told me that you have to have the course completed BEFORE July 1st for TESC to accept it....i'm dumbfounded!
