I recognize that there is a time crunch with the CLEP route, but I also noted that there were 3 essays required for one of the SDC courses. I guess the positive thing with SDC is that although there is more writing involved, at least they give the topics upfront for you to complete essays.(02-23-2019, 09:29 PM)Bachinayr Wrote: All,
Thanks for the feedback. Quick follow up question: Is English Comp 1& 2 easier via CLEP versus on SDC? I know essay writing is involved in both, at first glance, it appears that SDC more writing.
You're comparing apples-to-oranges. The CLEP is a test, so you're writing with a time limit. I would say you should only try it if you're a pretty proficient typist. SDC is a course, and there are multiple essays to do for each course.
Thanks for the point of view!
With SDC you can also re-submit papers until you get the grade you want. Each time they will be marked with what is wrong (based on the rubric) so you just need to make corrections and resubmit to improve your grade (if you want or need to). That and you have pretty much as much time as you need to complete the papers, so you won't be in a time crunch like with the CLEP exam.
