Microeconomics generally has a bad reputation among college students as being boring. Having taken a course on the subject, I'll have to agree.
Anyway, UNCG has created an online course for Microeconomics in the form of a video game. It looks pretty impressive, too; after finding the game, I almost wished I hadn't already taken Micro.
The game can be found here:

Oh, and the tuition is very reasonable for a college course. (Not as good as the CLEP exam, of course, but not bad.)

I still need Micro. Think I'll ask TESC if they would accept this. Thanks. Should have posted this in the general forum though. I hardly ever come in here.
