PCJ 215 Business Communication
#1
Does anyone definitely know whether Communication Work (Sophia) covers this?  I can knock off a Study.com class that does really easily, but I don’t want to waste the exam if I don’t have to.

The one you want to take is Business Communication. It definitely covers it. I just used it a few months ago.

It will work, but it does include 4 touchstone assignments. If speed is a priority over the exam limit, the SDC course has no assignments and can be knocked out extremely quickly.

Thanks all.

If “Communication at Work” won't fill the requirement, I think I'd rather use the exam than do 4 touchstones. The Study.com course is ridiculously simple.

What other 4 exams are you intending to take at SDC?

I completed the study.com course in 1 day. It was extremely easy and I think I scored in the 90s for the exam. Study is definitely the best place to take the course.

Workplace Communication and Business Communication are NOT the same class on Sophia although they will both fill the PCJ215 requirement.  Make sure to take the correct one and it's insanely easy and doesn't waste a $70 dollar SDC exam.

The writing assignments are a joke.

I was referencing Business Communication, the course you mentioned in your original reply. It has four touchstones and has transferred in as PCJ 215.

Workplace Communication has one touchstone, but I only see it transferring in as BUS 210 in the UMPI transfer equivalencies database. Has that changed?

Workplace communication was ridiculously easy, and I have completed it, so if it definitely fills the requirement, that would be great. 

They study.com class was also very easy. I have completed all the quizzes, but haven’t taken the final with the hope that workplace communication is enough.

Almost done with American Gov and Database Management. Then moving on to Applied Managerial Accounting. 

I can pay the $70 if I need to for the additional exam, but I’d rather not. 

There are a couple other classes I could fit in, but they have multiple papers and I feel like they might just be easier to do through UMPI.
