He started Project Management, but the project is a 20 slide powerpoint presentation. I noticed Adv Operations Management had an 800 word essay requirement and about 30 or 35 fewer lessons, so I suggested he just do that one now, and maybe do the Project Management course down the road with a paid month. The nice thing about that plan is that he can actually work on the powerpoint presentation before signing up for another month, and that way he'll have that big chunk of work already completed. He struggled with Principles of Finance, but I think that's due to his inexperience - he's only 17 - but that course has no projects - just the quizzes and final. If you want to take Global Business, my suggestion would be to go ahead and look at the essay assignments ahead of time and start working on those while completing other courses - you really don't need to go through the whole course to write them, just a few lessons which the essays are based on. I wish I'd have known to advise my son to do it that way so he wouldn't have had to cram 4 essays into a one week time frame.
Thanks so much!! This information is really great to know, very helpful. I just finished Personal Finance so I'm ready to take on the others.
