    I worked my way through the 5 modules yesterday morning and took the final exam 53 minutes later...scored a 98!

    I wish there was a silver lining...the A would definitely help my GPA, especially since I pulled so many Cs on my ECE exams. Well at least I'm finished with Info Lit.

    Thx for the inspiration.
    ICS

    Awaiting scores for two exams, then just two ECE exams and one English WER from TESC to go!

    I just paid my "tribute" of $290 today. Ouch. So this is what Legalized Extortion feels like. When did the price go up from $250?

    I plan on breezing through this "class" after the kids go to bed tonight.

    It was only $250 via military tuition assistance. Good luck. ICS

    I think I'm saving this exam for after I finish my 8 tests. I'll probably videotape the moment I submit the final exam, get my results, and officially earn my Bachelors.

    Red face Took me about 5 hours

    But then, I started out reading the material. Then I realized it was so basic, what was I doing reading it all so conscientiously?

    When EC asked for feedback on the course, I tried not to sound too snide when I said they should consider offering a test-out option. I understand why they require students to know that stuff, as it is extremely important for an independent learner, but. . . .

    I just signed up for PFC's Info Lit course. It's only $90 w/all materials included. It's two test, both non-proctored. EC accepts the course for the IL requirement. Might want to check and see if you can drop the EC course and get this one to save $210. As an additional benefit, you'll get a letter grade.

    Well I just finished this one yesterday Jan5, took me a couple of hours to go through all the material and quizzes from start to finish. Got a 98 on the final so there is nothing between me and that BS!

    The Penn Foster option would have saved me money for sure (if I had considered it earlier, that is), but I'm glad to finally just get it out of the way before my enrolment fee's renewal date!

    In search of a little clarification.

    I've heard on this forum that the PFC Information Literacy has to be proctored? Have they changed it so now it can be non-proctored?

    A few people have posted that it now just has 2 chapter exams and no proctored exam.
