I'm in the boat of trying to acquire cheap RA credits. I am just starting out (9-12 RA credits, 3 ACE ) and starting with Outlier, going to give ASU EA and TEL Learning a shot too.
I am currently taking the Outlier Psychology course, two weeks in on the accelerated course. While it is accelerated, it is definitely not a shortcut. There is a lot of material to cover, some fairly dense and technical. Although its requires a lot of time, I'm really enjoying the platform so far. 22 Chapters, each chapter has about 1.5 hours in video lectures, active learning/reading that takes about 2 hours, quizlet flashcards built in and a 10 question quiz you can take a few times that counts towards your grade.
Again, the only "shortcut" here is that it is an accelerated program (14 week option available too). There are two midterms (50 questions) (20% of grade each) and a final exam (25%). Just passed my first midterm with 92%, happy with it but really should have had a 96%, reviewed my answers and changed two of them second guessing myself... stupid. Got the course with the pi discount, best deal I could find for RA credits, reputable University of Pittsburgh transcript, high quality and well thought out content and learning process. While I haven't taken a college course in years and am new to alternative and online learning so I don't have much to compare to, I give it a 9.5/10 so far.
Hoping this helps someone reading this. Going to continue taking courses as they add them. Statistics next.
My overall goal is to get 60 total RA Credits, 45 ACE, and transfer 105 into CUNY SPS and finish final 15 there for a Business (BS).
