Physics for BSAST

[nicklepickle95]

Thanks for the replies.

I think I'll give Straighterline a shot for the first class and look into UExcel and a TESC Lab for the second.

If you take the UExcell + TESC Lab + SL you'll end up duplicating a lot of work. The UExcel covers six credits of physics 1 and 2, so all you need is two credits of labs, which TESC provides. Taking SL physics 1 would duplicate half of the UExcel and you'd basically be doing the entire 4-credit course for just the 1-credit lab. In terms of cost and time, the TESC lab course for physics 1 is much better.

Actually, after doing SL physics 1 and 2 (before they pulled physics 2), I would join cookderosa in recommending a community college. That would be the simplest, although the lab kits will probably cost through the roof. If you can pass the UExcel, though, you've got it made--all you need is two credits of lab work. That's the high risk-high reward option. If I were doing it all over again, I probably would gamble on the UExcel and then kick myself for not doing a community college after I would fail it.
