Hi a4tunatemom! I'm so glad to hear your daughter is knockin' out her courses, I just finished my CJ degree from PF, I know her and I were doing kinda the same thing, planning on transferring to TESC and all....
PonyGirl,
the Penn Foster courses are great. You really do learn what you put into it. The textbooks are up-to-date, I've already re-sold a few of them on amazon for $40 to $50 each, so my tuition is getting paid for much faster. The classes aren't easy, they require a lot of reading and a lot of critical thinking. But they are totally at your own pace and you can't beat your price. I've learned so much, I really am glad I chose to sign up with PF. You get your materials in the mail, and you're off! When you get close to the end of the course, you receive a proctor form in the mail. It can be anyone with an associate's degree or higher. The proctored exams are hard, lots of writing, no multiple choice.....they are open book but your time is restricted, so you pretty much have to know your stuff, or you're gonna end up with questions unanswered...which happened to me on a couple tests, but I still did pretty good. The whole process is so painless and hassle free, I never ran into a problem once with PF. Good luck with whichever method you choose.
