As someone looking for a second degree from one of the big three, I'll definitely look into and verify that before I take the plunge. I would encourage others to do so as well.There may be a misunderstanding regarding EC exams. All exams are proctored through Pearson Vue. Security includes finger printing, pictures, and direct monitoring. Many courses have mid-term or final exams that may be open book and non-proctored. Like many other online and B &M colleges, the exams are generally timed and the questions require mastery of the subject material.. ie -you canât simply look up an answer in the text book. The questions typically involve new information and require the application of knowledge learned at that point in the course. Further these midterm and final exams are not weighted as the whole course grade.
