I wasn't familiar with the english classes either. I suppose it will depend on what specific classes you go for. I didn't bother with those classes since I already had them via community college and alt credits.
I suppose the main value of the ASU classes is for the more unique courses that can't easily be found elsewhere.
I hope the ability to start classes without consequences catches on with other schools since I think that could really benefit the flawed education system.
Are the ALEKS credits RA credit though? If not, then apples and oranges are being compared.
