Please update wiki
#2
Prloko Wrote:I was reading the "Beginner's Guide" on the Wiki and in the Cheap credits section I happened upon the following:

"ALEKS - Beginning Algebra, Intermediate Algebra, College Algebra, Precalculus, Trigonometry, Intro to Statistics, Business Statistics, Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences (each is 3 credits) for $20/month membership - If you can finish the math classes faster, it'll be cheaper for you; these are NON proctored (use online calculators)"

My concern is the last three words "use online calculators". I'm not sure what the author meant, but this reads to me as to use one of the online calculators like wolfram alpha that does the entire calculation for you. I know we at DF are all about finding shortcuts and cheap methods, but I'm not sure we were ever about cheating (If that's what this alludes to). This has always been our stance, especially when newbies would come on asking for actual CLEP questions. It had always been our practice to shun away from that. Would someone please update the Wiki so it doesn't read like it's advocating for cheating? I know we are all better than that.

Ha!
For what it's worth, I agree with you (though I'm not involved in the wiki) and make that comment here too- which ticks people off from time to time. But really, it's a pathetically desperate way to pick already VERY low hanging fruit. JMO, but glad to have someone to stand next to.
