    Default Anyone here used LSU Business Finance FIN 317 for Excelsior requirement?

    If so, please comment. The DSST has me freaked out.

    Some details from LSU website...

    Cost of course [textbook(s) not included]
    $229.00

    Number of Lesson Assignments
    16 Lesson Assignments

    Lesson Assignment Requirements
    No more than three (3) lessons may be submitted in a seven day period. There are NO exceptions to this requirement. All lessons must be complete.

    Format of Lesson Assignments
    Approximately five to ten selected questions and problems from textbooks.

    Number of Exams
    2 Exams

    Special Instructions for the Exams
    Students may use a nonprogrammable financial calculator and a half page ( 8 1/2" x 5 1/2") sheet of formulas (one-sided) , which must be turned in with the exam.

    Material covered in Exams
    Mid-course exam covers lessons 1-9
    the final exam covers lessons 10-16. Each exam will be worth 100 points.

    Exam Format(s)
    Each exam consists of a matching section, multiple-choice questions, and problems to solve.

    Exam Proctor
    All exams must be taken with a proctor. LSU students will test in the Independent and Distance Learning Testing Office. All other Louisiana students should test at approved Louisiana testing sites. Out of state students must arrange for an approved proctor. An approved proctor, generally, is a university testing facility or administrator, military education office, or other such facility.

    How the final grade is assessed
    If the student passes the final, the final grade is obtained by adding the point values earned on the lesson assignments and the points earned on the two exams. The total available points = 264.

    You know, for all that work, and for all that money -- why not try studying for the DANTE and seeing how you do? All the upper-level business tests have me freaked out, too -- but sometimes just diving in will prove that the test IS doable. I think you can do it!!!
