Does this course have a proctored final? I know some of their courses don't. For those who have taken it, how is the difficulty compared to Straighterline, Study, etc? My younger son is getting his high school diploma with PF and has 5 college courses included. I'm trying to help him decide which to take, so this information will be helpful!
Here Researching for my son, who has done the following:
Community College: Intro to Philosophy, Fundamentals of IT, English Comp 1
Saylor: Intro to Business, Principles of  Marketing, Corporate Communication
Shmoop: US History 2 (WGU won't accept this)
ALEKS: Int. Algebra, College Algebra
Study.com: Personal Finance, Principles of Finance, HR Management, Global Business, Advanced Operations Management
Straighterline: US History 2, Environmental Science, US History, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, English Comp 2, Principles of Management, Business Law, Business Ethics, Psychology, Organizational Behavior, Accounting 1,Communication, Managerial Accounting, Statistics
Ed4Credit: Managing Information Systems
Sophia: Project Management
WGU: Bachelors in HR Management 

Second son is currently attending Penn Foster for his high school diploma, then on to Ashworth for An Associates in Criminal Justice

No idea, but I HATED microeconomics (and I thought macroeconomics was relatively painless). I used Study.com which was 10x easier than SL, for what that's worth.

I also did my high school with PF (with 5 college courses) and currently doing their AS in CIS. PF doesn't post this information, but their academic adviser may give out the info if you call them.

Thanks. How is your experience with their college courses in general?
