Okay, I think I've got most of the (major) kinks worked out and it's time for some serious testing. I'd like the help of all the degree planners out there. If you're new to planning a degree with CLEPs, you probably want to skip this. It's not quite ready for mass consumption yet.
Over the last six months, I've been working on a degree planning tool. The goal was to create something that would show new Big 3 students what tests would equal what degree requirements. It would walk them through each of those requirements and at the end of the process would spit out a handy sheet with exactly what they'd need to take. Sort of the same thing a lot of you do with excel spreadsheets, but for the beginner.
I think we've got most of the infrastructure down and I've loaded four or five Thomas Edison Associate degrees into the application. Would you guys mind taking a look? Here's what I'm looking for:
- Errors in how I've laid out the exams based on TESC policy
- Requirement conflicts
- Software bugs
- Suggestions and recommendations on changes
Once I get the nod from you guys on the TESC Associates; I'll load the Bachelors and we'll have another round of testing. Once that's done, I'll move on to Excelsior and COSC.
Here's how you can access it (It's hidden otherwise) -
First, go ahead and create an account if you don't have one already - Free Clep Prep
Once you've logged in, come back to this page and click this link - http://practice-exams.free-clep-prep.com...ccess=true
You should now see the Degree Planner tab on the top menu. Let me know if that gives anyone trouble.
I've always wondered why nobody has ever done this before and now I know - It's an insane amount of work. I'm reasonably certain that my developer wants to kill me for this one. Still, he did a great job with this and I think it'll help a lot of people when it's fully up and running. I'd appreciate it if you guys could help us get there.
Thanks all!
P.S. - There's some things that don't work yet (the help links for example) so ignore those. I'm looking for basic functionality feedback. Still gotta work on all the bells and whistles.
