SL -- open/closed book?

[cookderosa]

I'm not sure I won't need to send my transcript straight from SL to my school. I'm looking at Ashford, and they have some kind of special pricing deal if you complete at least four courses with SL to transfer to them. I don't know whether seeing them as SL on an ACE transcript is sufficient or if I'll have to send them directly. (Just speaking to the "no one will see your grade" aspect.)

Just to be 100% clear, are "exams" (not finals/midterms) and "quizzes" interchangeable as far as the information above? Of the classes I need, three list "exams" in the syllabus, one lists "tests," and one doesn't designate what type of assessments it uses. Only one says "quizzes." I know some places these are distinct concepts, and other places they're just different names for the same thing.

Straighterline partnership scholarships do not require you to send your credits directly, only that you take a certain number of courses with them (NOTE: even if you opt to send them directly, PLEASE also put them on your ACE transcript. If you don't, you may never be able to prove you've completed them should you leave Ashford- a new college will NOT take SL off an Ashford transcript) When you are ready, you go into your SL account and fill out the scholarship application with SL. In the meantime, all your courses should be sent to ACE. If I'm wrong, and your specific school requires directly sent scores, then you'll want to find out now what the cut scores are and if they transcribe them as credit or a grade. As far as has ever been discussed here, the only school ever to award grades for SL has been Charter Oak, so that would be BIG NEWS and worth posting about. There are lots of times people WANT graded credit.

Every SL course has a maximum of 1 proctored Final exam - everything else can be called quiz/test/midterm, but it will be un-proctored and open book. And to confirm a comment above, you'll have more than enough time to take these tests and check your notes/books. I made my sons look up every answer on every quiz (I'll throw in that they are not super fast at doing that unless it is word for word) and they had more than enough time on all their tests.
