Propero: Any reviews

[bluespecial]

I took Accounting 2 thru Propero this past spring and was not able to pass the course for a variety of reasons. The e-text for the class was meant to be used with a software package that does not come with the class. Also the quizzes and tests featured questions from chapters not even covered yet. I thought at the time, "its un-proctored, and self-paced, how could I lose?" Well I lost $300 dollars and it was a huge setback for me. I never communicated with the "success coach" but I did write a very well thought out professional letter to my "advisor" explaining my concerns about being tested on material from wrong chapters etc. and how I could never see what I was doing wrong because of the missing software that was supposed to used hand-in-hand with the textbook. She emailed be back stating she was going to "be in touch." I never received any further communication from Propero and within two weeks I was locked out their system.

The course was supposed to be finished in 16 weeks. I believe you can ask for an extension. The quizzes and exams were all timed. I didn't feel there was enough time to complete entire accounting story problems on scrap paper with the time provided. I did all my Clep's and Dsst's within 35-45 minutes, so time management has never been a problem for me.

My insight is that is was an awful experience. Maybe its better now but who knows. I haven't been back to their website to see if their program descriptions or objectives have changed. Like other alternatives ways to earn credit, try at your own risk.
