Recommend 2 UL SDC Courses?
#11
Man, even though this course seemed pretty straight forward, I only got 75 on the final. I found their questions to be more vague/tricky compared to the practice quizzes, which I was getting high 90's on.

Now I need 35/100 on the assignment to pass the course.

I've taken History 306 and 311 (though I haven't gotten around to doing the assignments yet) and I don't recommended 311 for a fast course. Although I thoroughly enjoyed it as a history buff, there are a lot of quizzes and most lessons don't have a video, just a written lesson. 306, on the other hand, while not especially short, does at least have a placement test with which I was able to knock out 40% of the quizzes.

Yeah, I noticed that for 311, or else I might have taken it just because it's a little more interesting. I find it odd for it to be on Study.com with basically no videos.

I just took English 305. I'd definitely recommend it. It was straightforward and easy to understand. If you've taken other English classes, it seems like a lot of repetition. The course itself has a lot of repetition. But there's just one assignment and it was the easiest and most fun one for me so far.

Keeping an eye on this thread, need UL recommendations for BALS with TESU as well. Thanks everyone.

I recommend criminal justice it's pretty straight forward.

I was considering Business 324: Managerial Communication since it's kind of similar to 323, but looks like it has an oral report requirement too, so no thanks.

116 quizzes.. it's a bit long. I wouldn't let multiple assignments dissuade you, I have been skipping the 2nd assignment if my grade is already high enough for a pass.

Third time now SDC has sent me back a rubric response incorrectly.
I've had the rubric for the wrong course sent back to me multiple times, and this time a rubric wasn't even sent, it was some sort of zip file.

They really need to start posting grades (while they are still being reviewed) and assignment grades on the actual dashboard.
Relying on some individual to attach a pdf to an email isn't very proper.

I think I am going to do Business 305: Leadership Communication., which seems pretty similar to organizational communication so far.
Surprised only 15 quizzes are complete for it.

I started Organizational Theory, but wasn't really feeling that course at all.

Just completed the exam for leadership communication.

Pretty similar course to organizational communication, although twice as long.

Just need to complete 1 assignment at this point.
