This is something that drives my wife and I nuts. She is finishing up a medical billing/coding and medical office management online course. She had to take a fairly comprehensive anatomy & physiology course at the beginning, and her textbooks are excellent and the coursework is actually quite good. There's a lot about the history of government regulation of healthcare, government regulations in general, specific medico-legal issues, all kinds of stuff. It's not easy, it is very well done, very thorough, and very rigorous, and yet no credit! :mad:
Note: We knew it was zero credit when she applied, but after she took it for a while and we looked into it more, it seems more in-depth than some college courses I've come across, to be honest. I took a history class that consisted of the teacher talking at a VERY high level for an hour, no depth at all, followed by him putting in a tape from the History channel and walking out for the next hour! That's why it's frustrating. I actually think if they submitted it for ACE credit they may really be considered for a full 3 semester hours. But maybe I'm just biased.
