I only took 1 PF class and it wasn't bad at all - Business Communications (or whatever they call it). The good things were that it is self-paced, so you could finish it as quickly as your motivation/schedule allows, and all of my papers were graded SUPER FAST. None of this waiting around forever for a grade. For this class, I did have to wait until each assignment was graded before I could submit the next one. But, like I said the teacher was really on the ball with grading.
Have you maxed out the other Aleks options: beg algebra, intermediate algebra, etc.?
I'm really sorry to hear about the trouble you're having with this. We'll figure out - this board is great for that!
Thank you Jadechow. This is going to sound like a dumb question at this point? But what exactly is FEMA? I've seen that mentioned quite a bit here but I thought this was credits earned through the military. I've kind of glossed over this stuff because I thought it wouldn't be any use to me being a non-military student.
Penn Foster sounds like a good option. Maybe I'll call them tomorrow for more info.
Yes, I've maxed out ALEKS which was a fantastic way for me to get 15 credits. No matter what response I get from Advisement tomorrow I'm happy with the credits I've got, just frustrated with dealing with advisors and the constant second guessing that goes on. I found that the advisors are great when it comes to approving courses from TESC or CLEPS but once you ask them to approve a course off the beaten path you'll encounter some resistance. I imagine they will assume the same position when I ask about Penn Foster classes.
