    Default Change in Degree Plan, Help!

    I just learned that if I retake Macro Econ in June, all my depth requirements will be completed. So now I will need 1 more upper level A & S (3 credits) course. Based on what I have left to complete (See my signature line), I would like some recommendations ...... I would like examples of Cheap and expensive 100% distance online or correspondence, proctored or not. Any thing interesting out there. I'm trying to avoid EC "essay" exams. Any suggestions?

    cheapdegree.com

    he lists 2 online schools from california and an accredited one online..I believe if you are a resident you pay only 18.00 a credit hour but out-of-staters pay more...so its' like 242.00 for 3 credit hours.....

    not bad considering other schools for 400.00 or 500.00 on 3 credit hours..

    If the exams mentioned earlier in this thread don't help, try Independent Study at LSU. You work entirely at your pace and there are no class sessions that you have to attend. There are several upper level classes available. For example, HIST 4051 Colonial America 1607-1763 is a senior level course that has no prerequisites.

    Good luck,

    Hi bceagles,

    these are ECE exams, and if you study IC and use common sense, you can pass these. I did not have a lot of experience with Psychology before I started taking the tests, but IC really helped me understand the concepts. I studied for all the Psychology exams at once as there is quite some overlap and passed the once mentioned above all.

    Good luck,

    kckusek

    The Abnormal Psych exam is not too bad and I second the LSU-IS course suggestion as well, they are easy enough and keep a good pace. Good Luck!!
