I finished College Algebra today through straighterline.com. I got a B. I don't need it for my degree but I do need it to get my teacher's certification later down the road -- and possibly a separate business degree later on.
The course just so you know is on Blackboard like most other college courses. It's very easy to use and quite convenient. All I am waiting on now is the whole process of my straighterline grade getting transferred to Fort Hays State University. I'll keep you posted.
BTW, even though I did the class in 2 days I wouldn't recommend that unless you are already pretty strong in Algebra or have already been studying Algebra for the CLEP. The exams were only 20 questions but I would not categorize this as "easy." In fact having taken the Peterson's practice exams and having taken this course, I would say the Straighterline course exams are harder than the practice CLEPs I did.
