Degreeplanworks.com 2 $1 courses! ACE approved
#1
https://www.degreeplanworks.com/shop/

http://www2.acenet.edu/credit/?fuseactio...CE=1009497


I randomly saw them on the ACE website. Looks like most of their courses just gained ace approval a few months ago. At first, they seemed like another overpriced course provider ($250/credit or $750 per course). However, I'm not sure if it's some kind of promo or mistake, but 2 of their courses are listed at $1 each in the shop: interactive business and strategic management process. I was able to successfully place them in my cart. So for $2 I can get 6 extra credits. Will investigate more tomorrow morning.

7/1/2018 - 6/30/2021

In the lower-division baccalaureate/associate degree category, 3 semester hours in strategic planning or management (7/18).

In the lower-division baccalaureate/associate degree category, 3 semester hours in communications or business communications (7/18)

Wow. I wonder if they will duplicate at TESU though. I paid the $2 because I don't mind if I only get duplicate credit.

For each course, you take 5 quizzes to unlock the final exam. For one course I also see a final essay assignment, but when I click it, it has placeholder text instead of an assignment.

The final exam "Requires Respondus LockDown Browser + Webcam". Their help page for Respondus is at https://courses.degreeplanworks.com/mod/...orceview=1

Nice! I think I'll pony up the $2 as well because why not?

Apparently, they're decently quick, too:

"Our courses average 15 to 20 hours each. In other words, a course can be done over a week end."

I'm liking these a lot.

Quizzes are 10 questions each. They seem to have no time limit.

The final exams require 70% to pass and you have 2 attempts. They are not timed! I saw a mention of a practice exam in the help, but I don't see a practice exam in these courses. I don't see anywhere that lists how many questions are on the final.

Interactive Business is an odd title. It's just business communication.

Did it for the 2$ but they are probably duplicates for me. Hopefully someone finishes them quickly and can provide some input.

If Interactive Business comes in as Business Comm, then it would be COM-220, and could be used in multiple areas of a degree plan (Business Core, BALS LL AOS, Knowledge of Human Cultures, Gen Ed Electives, Free Electives).

Strategic Management would probably come in as a LL Business course, and could be used in the BSBA AOS in the MAN area.

I splurged and bought the 2 courses. Looks fairly straightforward.
Apparently I'm already behind on the essay: "Assignment is overdue by: 13 days 10 hours"
