Penn Foster Principles of Finance class

[bricabrac]

Sorry for digging up an old thread but I need finance and biz comm also.

How do these classes work? Is it at your own pace? Is it all tests online or a single test at a proctor site?

Yes they are at your own pace. I think you have 12-15 weeks to complete but it seems most finish in 3-7 days. For the proctored courses once your last quiz has been completed they will send out your packet to your proctor. I called just to speed up the process a bit. :-)

Business & Tech Writing - 5 written assignments and an unproctored final all submitted as word docs online.

Financial Management - 5 multiple choice assignments submitted online and a proctored final. Final is mailed to the proctor of your choice (anyone with a degree AA or above that does not live in your home or share your last name). You have 2 hours to complete the final and three weeks from date on the mailer to return.

here is the proctor form:

BTW, if you should need UL accounting credit, Intermediate Accounting 1 ACC201\ ICS-0109 \ TESC ACC-201 is also completed online and has 4 multiple choice assignments followed by an unproctored final that is submitted as word doc online.
