That's a good deal... $75. I wish Excelsior could match that.
Although I only speak from my personal opinion... I think that there are other factors worthy of considering when deciding which class to take.
Granted, Excelsior is too expensive for just one measley credit... BUT, I took the course in a couple of hours without a proctor and without ordering official transcripts. It was semi-expensive, but hassle-free. (much cheaper than one credit at say... University of Phoenix) The speed and efficiency of Excelsior's Info Lit course has got to be worth some of that difference in price. Maybe not all $200 worth though.
I'm seriously not knocking Penn Foster's Information Literacy course. In fact, I'm all for hearing more about it. I'm particularly interested to hear whether there are hidden costs and how quickly the course can be completed, graded, and transcriptions sent.
Anyway, thanks for the update... my wife may cross this bridge someday and this is much needed information you are providing. I appreciate it.
