Their BS Communications required another math. I flunked out of Straighterline's Statistics math, even after getting help from my sister and her boyfriend, both engineers from UT, who were unable to understand it! I got a "B" in stats when I was in an actual classroom, with a real teacher. My GPA was 3.9!
From all the advertisement from TESU, I thought it would be easier. While I'm waiting for TESU to take their sweet, slow-assed time to review my transcripts, I've begun plugging away at few more courses thanks to this forum.
I just completed the free Ethics course from The Institutes. Horrible insurance content, but I passed. Studying Saylor's BUS 210 Bus Communications is sucking equally. Attending an actual university is SO much easier than online school. I miss classmates. I miss raising my hand and asking a real teacher a question to clarify. Online school is very lonely. But then cost/time is factored in attending an actual university and it just isn't worth it. Perhaps I'm not meant to ever complete my degree. This is awful.
You should pursue the path that makes you happy. One is not better than the other just because some of us think it might be easier or more pragmatic. Follow your heart.
