The only thing you'd have to pay for is the speech requirement and the UL courses. With CLEP, ALEKs, TEEX, Sophia, and of that you could easily do the entire degree besides ones I mentioned for a few hundred dollars easy. And onlinedegree.com won't just be electives a lot of the courses could count as gen ed or LL AOS.
Cool, Yes, I'm pretty much aware of that. The reason of my post earlier is because I wanted to inform the OP an option of going through the easier courses and moving onto the harder courses. For someone with ADHD, or in my case, major test anxiety, I would rather do the online ACE/NCCRS courses with a greater chance of pass and on a better proctoring platform before I do courses that have a harder chance of passing on an inferior proctoring/testing platform.
My post is geared towards obtaining cheap/easy/fast credits, and I wanted to see if I can add the extra value in that, it's not always because of 1 of those three, I like to balance them out... in this particular case, it's for the "easy/fast vs the cheap" and the value is getting prepared for say Study.com type of courses. The main difference is, for OD.com, you don't get to know what you got wrong on your quizzes, so I usually would recommend doing a spreadsheet on your quiz scores so you'll know where you stand in that particular course before you get to the final exam. There are maybe one or two courses that's harder than the others, such as the Intro to Python course, the majority of the others are very manageable.
Onlinedegree.com is most similar to Study.com, it's grading is roughly 50% quizzes, 10% attendance/watching videos in full, and 40% on the final exam. Study.com's are 33.3% quizzes, 66.6% final for LL, and for UL it's 33% quizzes, 33% final, 33% assignments. I like that much better than a TECEP that uses ProctorU or say a CLEP exam, even though a CLEP may be free, I would also recommend CLEP if they're closer to a testing center (but for me, I live a bit far from them).
There are a few courses that Onlinedegree.com offers that the others do not and there are some that overlap with other providers, I would take those that interest you the most. Hmm, say the OD.com CK101 Cooking course that transfers to TESU as a HOE-111 Home Economics course - you can use it to impress yourself by learning something new and also impress the lady friends! My newest pickup line when you're cooking alongside your hot date - Is that sound your tummy growling or is that your heart purring for me?
Here's the link of what they transfer to TESU as, most of them are general education courses or electives in that field, some can be used in the AOS LL as mentioned by natshar. I would do as many as possible to get as much credits towards your degree before moving onto another provider. Link: https://www.onlinedegree.com/wp-content/...apping.pdf
