Thomas Edison Classes

[LovesHarmony]

Does anyone know of any Thomas Edison courses that don't require a proctored exam? Or any classes that don't require you to purchase a book?

Not sure if anybody else mentioned this, but PLA courses don't have exams or textbooks. There is a lot of writing, since you have to document what you know, and what you know has to be at a college level. For me, I prefer the PLA, but I also like to write. If you don't like to write or are not a good writer than it's not a good choice.

Another advantage of PLA is the sheer volume of classes available. Here are the PLA courses in the TESC catalog:

Thomas Edison State College/ Prior Learning Assessment Courses

I recently discovered that there are actually MANY more courses that can be taken this way, but they are not standard TESC courses in the catalog. You can access the database of these PLA courses here:

Thomas Edison State College/ Prior Learning Assessment Description Database

You can also create your own PLA for a subject not already listed in the database. Instructions to do so are here:

Undergraduate Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) - Thomas Edison State College - acalog ACMSâ„¢

I hope to take about 1/2 my remaining units via PLA.
