I did not pass the CLEP chem it was nasty. so i need to have a chem class and WGU will accept BYU Independent study. But i dont know anything about them. anyone use them? they are expensive. about $500 plus books. ouch. but from what i can see it would cost the same at a CC, after registration and out of state costs. i already used SL for chem and recommend them for chem. just dont like proctoru, but got over it, with a means to an end. however i still need another chem without lab, just the class. any ideas? i looked at the past threads and got good ideas, but i done know anything about BYU Independent study.

I took three courses with BYU. Speech, which was incredibly easy, and two accounting courses which were difficult. I believe that UptonSinclair took a few also and maybe he'll chime in. I think you learn a lot with BYU, they are not gimme credits. Also, just be mindful that BYU is not shy about their Mormon affiliation and the ideology is incorporated into their courses. I don't have a problem with this, but people with other beliefs may. One of the great things about BYU is you set your own pace and like SL, can finish rather quickly if motivated. They are not cheap like they once were though.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.
