I agree, the more options the better. But it's alot more helpful if they are new courses we might not find from other sources.
However, taking cost out of the consideration... it would be interesting to know how the difficulty compares on some of the overlapped courses that Propero offers with say Straighterline or Penn Foster. It seems like the amount of quizzes and practice tests could be quite time consuming, and unless I'm missing it, I haven't seen anything confirming their proctor policy.
What happens if I fail my course?
Hopefully with the resources available, this will not happen; however, in the event you fail your course, you may retake it again, as many times as you would like, but you are required to pay fees.
What is the difference between a quiz practice, a graded quiz, a practice test, a test, and a graded exam?
In a Propero course, you have the following:
After each lesson, you have a quiz practice and a quiz. The practice quiz is not calculated into your grade, and you can take a practice quiz up to 5 different times. Each time, a new practice quiz is generated. You must pass with an 80% or higher before being allowed to take the quiz. The quiz consists of 15 items, is timed, and can only be taken once.
After lessons, 3, 6, 9 and 12, there is a practice test and a test in addition to the practice quiz and quiz. Each practice test and test covers the previous three weekâs lessons and is cumulative in nature. The practice test is not calculated into your grade, and you can take a practice test up to 5 different times. Each time, a new practice test is generated. You must pass with an 80% or higher before being allowed to take the test. The test consists of 15 items, is timed, can only be taken once.
A graded exam is the final assessment of your knowledge on certain skills and concepts covered in the course and cannot be completed until all lessons, quiz practices, quizzes, practice tests and tests are completed.
