WGU Credit Question
#9
jibtech Wrote:I sent my enrollment counselor an email asking if Intro to Philosophy at StraighterLine would fulfill the requirement. I will update once I get an answer.

My son took intro to philosophy and WGU put that in the humanities requirement. It's a totally different course than a philosophy course focused on logic. I took Logic in college and by the last day to withdraw we were down to 9 students. At the midterm, every single student failed, so we thought we were home free - went to class the next class day and the prof told us to put our books under our desks and handed our exams back to us to have another go at it. It was one proof which had to be completed in a certain number of lines. I was the only one who got it on the second try. 8 people hated me from that day on.

Anyway - intro to philosophy is a very different course than anything related to logic and critical thinking, so it's unlikely it would fill that spot. My son took a logic course via Coursera a year or two ago and it was fantastic - I highly recommend it to everyone.
Here Researching for my son, who has done the following:
Community College: Intro to Philosophy, Fundamentals of IT, English Comp 1
Saylor: Intro to Business, Principles of  Marketing, Corporate Communication
Shmoop: US History 2 (WGU won't accept this)
ALEKS: Int. Algebra, College Algebra
Study.com: Personal Finance, Principles of Finance, HR Management, Global Business, Advanced Operations Management
Straighterline: US History 2, Environmental Science, US History, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, English Comp 2, Principles of Management, Business Law, Business Ethics, Psychology, Organizational Behavior, Accounting 1,Communication, Managerial Accounting, Statistics
Ed4Credit: Managing Information Systems
Sophia: Project Management
WGU: Bachelors in HR Management 

Second son is currently attending Penn Foster for his high school diploma, then on to Ashworth for An Associates in Criminal Justice
