    Default Math for P/OM

    Can anyone advise how much/what level of math the CSU-Pueblo class involves? The subject can be taught with a little...or a lot...I have an intimidating doorstop of a book on the shelf here, that I hope isn't the level we're talking about.
    I'm trying to figure out the sequence, whether I can do well in this before I take Algebra, or should wait. Thanks!

    The last SERIOUS math I saw was in 1986 and I didn't have trouble with any of the CSU-Pueblo math. If you read through this thread (I realize that it's LOOOONNNGGG) you'll see some other commentary on this issue I believe. My recollection is that the software does all of the heavy lifting. In fact, on more than a few occassions, I input numbers into one of the Excel templates and it spit out whatever it spit out and that's what I used as my answer--often times the whole spreadsheet. Good luck.

    Yes. Many people who contributed to this thread have taken the course.

    I started one on 495 earlier, but not too much feedback on it.

    People just move on and forget about us undergrads. I'll try and leave some feedback as I move forward.

    Thanks, I am looking for info on the Business Policy 495 course at Excelsior. Looks like you finished there but took that as a TECEP exam. It is now required to take at Excelsior for BS in Business. No way around it.

    It's very annoying and very much against what Excelsior College stood for, facilitating the higher education process.

    I took the TECEP version on the last allowed date (31st of August) and there's a very good chance that I won't be passing. It bugs me to think that I would have to take the 15-week alternative (not to mention the extra cost).

    I'm not sure if this has been attempted but I think Excelsior business students should petition the school about this decision.

    Think I'll get a refund? I am still lamenting the Managerial Accounting CLEP going the wayside as I am finishing up that course Independent Study Style.
