Penn Foster Strategic Business Management

[Al2010x]

I just signed up for this course with PF, I know many of you have completed this so can you give me some advice to fast track this one? what worked for you? I also see that there is online discussion forum that I believe I may have to participate in and complete a project at the end but need some guidance if anyone can...

thanks,

You will have 3 webinars, 4 exams (can take twice for best grade), 4 discussion board postings, and a project (paper). Go ahead and sign up for your first webinar as you can only do 1 a week. It really won't matter if you have your book or not for this. The grade for webinars is a participation grade, so you need to participate at least a little. Once you get the book you can jump on the tests and discussion boards. Once done with that, start on your paper. This class is not hard at all. Good luck!

ETA: As far as the discussion board, you will have a question that you briefly answer on the board. When I took it, you did not have to respond to any other posts. Again, a couple of sentences is good enough to answer. Doesn't need to be very long.

How is the project paper? I see there are two videos, I have not seen them but am I suppose to review them and write some thing about them? would my instructor tell me what to with my project? I appreciate your help.

Look at the Graded Project section in the back of your online Study Guide. It is a case analysis on Southwest Airlines. The procedure and writing guidelines are outlined for you. The videos are on Southwest Airlines and just supplements the book, they are not long.

The process is very simple, just call the number listed here:

e-mail: Marybeth.davies@pennfoster.edu

Mary Beth was extremly helpful to sign me up and took care of all my proctor approval etc. It cost $237 for a class that you can pay all upfront or installments of $78 over three month or however you work it out. The class itself is very good. Your book is included in the price. There are 4 multiple choice test that are open book and non-proctored. you print your test and then work the answers from the book or google the resources and learn the topic then go to your student login and open the exam to put in your selections of multi choice answers. you are also required to write three liners in online discussion that is similar to posting in this forum. You are required to participate in webinars - total three of them but they are offered once a week so you have to drag this out for three weeks. Final is proctored. You have to pick your own proctor from your friends or coworkers who you trust and who knows you. Proctor requires to have minimum of associates degree and must not be your family member. They will mail them your final once you complete 4 test on your own. Once you receive and complete the final on your own, you upload it and it will be graded. Now remember to call Mary Beth to ask her to mail your finals as they do not automatically do it.

you can complete this class in a week if you are determined but you still have to wait for three weeks to complete your webinars over three weeks. Very very easy class. I am down to my final now and have signed up for first webinar coming Monday. This will fulfill my capstone requirement with TESU.

Angela - I am planning to take Strategic Mgmt with PF. I also need Principles of Finance (Business Core), Business in Society (or Int'l Business), and Marketing (AOS - Consumer Behavior or Mktg Research??). Does TESU accept any/all of those? Also, do you know if any/all are UL and ACE approved? I've attached my plan here - could you guys have a look and let me know if I can PF any of these?

For core, it doesn't matter if it's UL or not
PF Financial Management = Principles of Finance requirement
PF International Business - Business in Society/Int'l Business requirement

For AOS, you only need 12UL units, which you will have already
PF Marketing Research is not UL, but I show that people have gotten it in as MAR-411
PF Consumer Behavior is not UL, but I show that people have gotten it in as MAR-351
