Ed4Credit.com has 27 new ACE approved courses

[Ed4Credit]

I'm a little bit freaked out by the structure of the program. According to the answers they gave me in chat, you can fail the course at every quiz. Each quiz must be passed (2 attempts) at 70% or better or you fail the whole course. There is no "grade" or weight - it's all or nothing. In addition, the final exam must be passed at 50%. This structure is horrible. [/I]

Hi Jennifer, Ava was correct in her answers about how our courses currently work. ACE is attempting to increase the level of "academic rigor" for all the newly approved courses. I am certain that as the other companies go through re-accreditation they too will have to deal with the increased requirements ACE is putting into place. Unfortunately, ACE doesn't have a rubric for us to follow, they allow each reviewer to make their own decisions and it's subjective. We are in the process of setting up our courses so that you need a final cumulative grade of 70% to pass the course rather than per quiz. We want our courses to reflect, as much as possible, the academic setting you experience at a college. You will still need to make a 50% on the final exam and an overall average of 70% to get your transfer credits.
