At one point I was taking 3 on-line courses at once with EC, 2 IT courses and then the Business Policy course, and I honestly felt stressed out to the point that I elected to sacrifice my BP grade to concentrate on the other 2 classes due to them being more relevant to my major. Ended up with 2 A's and a C in BP. I was working full-time as well so your situation may be different. I'll tell ya though, my personal experience with the Excelsior courses was that if you put forth a decent effort most of the teachers won't let you fail. They tend to grade easy, especially your final projects. That was one of the knocks that I had with EC that ultimately lead to me finishing at TESC.
