Low cost ACE reviewed history courses from Shmoop.com

[bjcheung77]

Hi There,

I noticed that there's three college courses that are ACE recommended for credit.
These three are history courses that I would like to take for college credit.

However, I think I read somewhere that the pricing scheme may change. I would like to subscribe to the service and finish those courses before the change.

Two questions: 1) When is the pricing change going to occur?
2) Can I just lock into the subscription now?

The reason I'm asking is I would like to finish my subscription from another provider of educational resources, before I use yours.

So, I don't get side tracked, I want to focus on one set of courses at a time from one provider.

My subscription for that provider ends on the 15th, and I would like to subscribe to your service after that date.

Side Note: I noticed also some courses say (College) and others (Community College). What's the main difference between these type of courses? Are some for ACE credit and others for "Community college credit?

Thank you for your time.

Thanks for reaching out and for your interest in our ACE CREDITÂ recommended courses!

Here are some answers to your questions:

1. The price change should change on or around August 26. The price for a subscription will increase to $87.68/month. However, at that point, we will have 13 courses to offer (with more to come), so the selection will be even greater.

2. If you subscribe now, you'll pay the current price until the price change, at which point, you'll have to change your plan in order to access the courses.

3. The community college courses are not (and will not be) ACE CREDITÂ recommended. They are just courses that we felt were appropriate for community college level. We'll likely be retiring these courses soon, now that we have the college courses that are appropriate for 2- and 4-year colleges.

Let us know if you have any other questions!

Hi Shmoop Team,

Would you please provide me more info on the new courses?

Do you happen to have a list of the 10 new ones?
I would like to know in order to to help prepare my degree plan.

Thank you again for this information.

Because they're not yet listed on the national guide, we're not supposed to provide details on the new courses, but I can tell you that they are all math courses. I can also let you know that in the fall (hopefully by mid-October), we're also looking to have an additional 12 courses approved in literature. After that, we'll continue to add more courses as well. Hope that helps!

Best,

An update about the Shmoop courses, there's going to be 10 extra math courses, then some other courses added in a matter of weeks.
The pricing will be "bumped" to a higher price for the subscription, but well worth it if those 10 courses don't duplicate ALEKS.
I'll be waiting to see what other courses comes into light, hopefully, in the next month or so. Thanks again for a great find!
