BIG Sophia Course Coupon!!

I should have also said that I am using it as a Free Elective for my BSBA-CIS. I was just confirming the coding of it as MAN-235 and not the placement of it.

Oh, okay... that makes more sense. Thanks for the clarification.

No problem, can I ask you something about signatures? I apologize in advance since this is unrelated to the thread but. Does font size and color influence the character length of signatures? If I put my signature in a string and measure the length I get 438. mudball's signature is over 1000 at 1070. I am showing yours (Merlin's at 554). How am I hitting the 1000 character limit wall at around 450 characters? Is the length of the string also measured with HTML control codes and line breaks/carriage return?

Yes, escape sequences and control codes do influence the count. Plus if you use color or size, those get duplicated on each line, which multiplies the number of characters used. So, the way to maximize the length is to avoid anything other than plain text.

Also, as I recall, the signature limit used to be higher, so those who set theirs long enough ago may have a signature that exceeds the current limit.

Ok I'm thinking for doing this for my BSBA. Unfortunately, accounting isn't on the TESU equivalency page. Did anyone else notice that not all the sophia courses on are that page.

I was thinking of doing Marcoecon and project managment and not sure for the third one. (any suggstions?) Unless someone tells me those are bad courses on Sophia.

That is a good question. I do see that Sophia's Accounting is worth 3 Credit hours with ACE. It is not listed on Sophia's TESU transfer page as you have pointed out. It might transfer as a Free Elective to TESU? The best thing to do would be to ask advising at TESU. I don't think it will be a substitute for either of the Accounting Classes that I have to take with Straighterline.

I took both Macro and Microeconomics with Sophia. Honestly, they were my least favorite of the Sophia classes because they lacked the Sophia course text that usually comes with the multiple lecturers for each class. At least one of the lecturers for each lesson offers a lecture transcript that you can use in place of the missing Sophia text. You can also make your own notes. That being said, it still beats taking a proctored final exam and you can just use the biometric keyboard verification.

Introduction to Information Technology and Visual Communications was pretty easy and painless to get through. I have not started Project Management yet.

P.S. Sophia told me in the chat window that they will renew Visual Communications with ACE. It is set to expire on the 28th. This is not a guarantee however, just a heads up.

EDIT/UPDATE: Sophia's Accounting has a similar ACE recommendation to Straighterline's Accounting I. Both are recommended by ACE to fulfill a "principles of accounting" course. I will check with TESU to see if Sophia's Accounting can fulfill the ACC-101 requirement.

UPDATE: 

I was just told by advising at TESU that Sophia's Accounting will transfer to TESU as ACC-101. I don't know why it is not on Sophia's TESU transfer list?

How are Sophia courses proctored these days? Do they do this strange biometric verification which I never understood?

Yes, that is how Sophia.org does it now. It sounds more complicated than it actually is. You just have to type in a line of text here and there when prompted. That is the extent of "biometric verification". 
The benefits are not having to schedule a proctor or wait around for weeks for an official grade or worry about technical issues during a final exam.

I really like Sophia's platform and their customer service has been friendly and fast for me so far. I took English Composition 1 with Sophia and I thought their American grader based in the USA was very fair in grading my essays. I had the same grader each time. It was not the nightmare I sometimes hear about with Straighterline or Study.com. 

You also get plenty of time to take each class (60 days) and are allowed 1 time extension of 30 days if needed. You don't have to worry about a mandatory monthly billing cycle. 

Those are my personal reasons for being a fan of Sophia.org.

My spider sense says you are a bot or manual spammer; but I could be wrong so here goes:

It's a coupon code, it is easy to test. Select 3 classes, go to the checkout and enter the coupon code. If you do not see the discount immediately taking effect in the cart then do not complete the transaction at the checkout.
