I am a credit monster - I signed up for 7 SL courses

[bjcheung77]

Hmm, I had nothing better to do with some cash, so signed up for seven courses at Straighterline.
You would not believe me, but, I feel like adding a couple more haha...
I like multitasking, might finish them quickly enough to take a couple more.

Which ones? Hopefully, I will be signing up for my last two in a few weeks.

Impressive! Have you tried Saylor yet also? You might save more time/money that way!

I was going to take Business Communications on StraighterLine, but instead I took Corporate Communications on Saylor with ~3 hours of cramming just going through the quizzes/practice final (also looked up anything in the course book that I didn't understand). Didn't expect to pass, but I took the final exam the same night and passed (got a 72% ).

With Saylor I only had to take one final exam, but if I had taken StraighterLine I would have had 16 exams, and 3 writing assignments!

When I was going on my run with Straighterline, ordering courses in bunches was great for focused motivation. Even though it is only $99, that monthly fee haunted me as the month was coming to a close. I looked at the upcoming $99 monthly charge as two lost courses to create a greater value and this helped me really use each day of the month to max out Straighterline.

Good luck on the courses and owning the month!!!

I am looking into taking all 4 of the accounting courses SL offers. I just scheduled my final for account I and started on accounting II. I searched in the thread but I'm not 100% sure- do the other courses duplicate each other at TESU?

According to the info on the SL site, they do not duplicate. Thomas Edison State University Course Equivalency Guide | StraighterLine

I am taking the easy ones such as: Med Terminology, Microbio, Fun of IT, Survey of World History, Business Comm.
Up next month, I'll take more sciences as general education elective and free elective credits, I want to take Environmental Sciences and Nutrition, if I finish theses courses faster than expected, I'll just take them both this month.

Listed below is how they transfer into TESU. I used 3 of the 4 accounting courses for my BSBA (showing in bold). Instead of doing the Intro Accounting, I would suggest doing a more useful course like Organizational Behavior BUS120 (Organizational Behavior MAN-310), Business Communications BUS105 (Business Communications - COM-300/COM-108 Fundamentals of Speech) & Principles of Management (MAN-301 Principles of Management)


Principles of Financial Accounting - ACC-101 - Accounting I - ACC101


Principles of Managerial Accounting - ACC-102 - Accounting II - ACC102


Cost Accounting - ACC-303 - Managerial Accounting - ACC150


*Intermediate Accounting I - ACC-201 - Financial Accounting - ACC151

Hmm, interesting, I've got 3 finals in 3 different days - July 25, 27, 28. Haha...
This is awesome, the main reason I love SL is because of the speed to finish.
The majority of courses I have taken have 2 exams, midterm, 2 more exams and a proctored final.

I am taking the easy ones such as: ... Microbio....

Good list... wow, I had no idea Microbiology was supposed to be one of the easier SL courses?!!
