Marshall -
You have to do what will work best for your situation and your future, so you can bounce all your ideas off of us, but in the end you need to make the final decision.
Have you looked into ECE or COSC? Maybe you will find a degree path at a different school that will suit your needs better.
Brian -
It all depends on the class itself. I have taken two online classes where neither had a mid term or final exam, but one had quizzes every module and a final paper that counted as 40% of my grade and the other had four projects during the semester. I can't remember how they were weighted.
My Intermediate Algebra had a mid-term (proctored) and online final. Right now I'm taking Quantitative Business Analysis and there was no midterm, but quizzes every module and an online final.
There really is no set pattern, that's why I say it's dependent on the class itself. As far as securing a proctor, I don't really know what is involved. I'm only about 20 - 25 minutes away from the college so it is easiest for me just to go there instead of finding a proctor. I did that for the one mid-term I had as well as the TECEPs that I took.
