Intermediate Accounting II

[Synicaal]

Hello All!

Here to give you the final review of this course from Oakton CC

Teacher: Michele Wray
Rating: 5 out of 5
Credits: 4
My Final Grade : B (Missed A by only 38 points in a 1135 available point course)
Total Spent : $603 + $130 + $33.50*2 = $800/4 = $200/credit

First off I didn't miss the A by much and you will know why after this short review.

Let me start by saying the teacher who teaches this is down right amazing. Super helpful and you are almost guaranteed to do better if you take the time to ask her questions. She will answer, and she usually answers within half a day. At this school you could very well take both Intermediate I and II at the same time as you are not required to take I first then II.

She breaks down the course pretty much into two different halves. You do chapter 14-18 I believe for the first half then the second half is 19-24. The first half was by far much easier for me at least then the second half. Some of the chapters in the second half I found very challenging. Now she does have this if you fail both Midterm and Final with below a 60 you fail the course. Do not worry about this, she told me it is set up to prevent having Person A pay Person B to do the course for them. If you try even 50% on the course material you can easily get a 60% on the midterm/final. I actually got 82%/63%(Final is where I messed up). She is very generous on carry forward points and rearranging point weights. You can actually see how you did compared to the entire class (you don't know who actually got what) and everyone was able to get at least a 60%+ on the midterm.

Price breakdown is $800 for the entire class. The reason this is so high is because you get 4 credits for the course. I really really really wish they had a 3 credit version but they don't. It would save a lot of money and would make this an actual option for some I think. Anyways, 603$ for applying to the school and paying for the course and any fees related. I paid $130 for the online e-book and Wiley code. Then it did cost me 33.50 for each exam with ProctorU. The last price can be avoided if you have a testing center that will proctor for free or a lot less then the 33.50. You can also spread the cost of the book to half if you buy the whole book and code and take both courses together its the same book.

The last part of this is the WHY take the course here and not just pay the 300$ or so at Penn Foster and save the other $500. Well the answer is Regionally Accredited, Actual Grade, Looks better to potential employers (at least I think it would). Personally I would pay $800 vs $300 for the credits I got at Oakton over Penn Foster any day. The speed is really the only disadvantage. Anyways if you have any specific questions about the class please PM me as I'm not sure how often I will check this tread.

FYI : I have 25 total Accounting credits via BM (Regionally Accredited Schools) with a 3.72 GPA. And 34 total Accounting Credits!! All I have left is to knock out this Federal Income Tax TECEP on June 10th and wait for graduation!!
