Ha pumpkin pi pricing....That's funny. It's also only open to the first 314 signups and ends 12/2. It good for:


Calculus I - this isn't the easiest math class to find and it's RA credit so go for it!
Intro to Psych
Intro to Stats
Intro to Astronomy

Calc I is pretty easy to find. It's the other Calculus courses that are more difficult. But does anyone know how Outlier courses are proctored?

I believe I read a review somewhere complaining that outlier uses examity proctoring. I have no experience with them.

Also, it looks like you can redeem the code multiple times:

"Discount code redeemable for up to four courses per student."

Well it's not offered by some of the more commonly used sources such as Sophia and InstantCert. And this is RA credit not ACE credit.

Calculus is offered by SL, SDC, and even Saylor, though. You can also CLEP it or take it from ASU (not super thrilled about ASU for Calc, personally, but it it is RA and has a lower initial investment than Outlier and costs roughly the same once you pass the course).

SL, SDC, and Saylor aren't RA credit. Neither is CLEP. For those who need RA credit such as folks wanting to attend COSC, this may benefit them and with many schools limiting ACE credit, this could help them, too.

Practically every CC in the land will have Calc I, so it's not hard to find, and not hard to find for less than $400 (or $314).  The teaching is supposed to be fantastic here though - you get 3 different options for every lesson.  So that part is nice.

Most people on here aren't looking to take CC courses though. And in many states a CC course would cost far more than $314. I looked at taking a 3 credit course at my local community college this fall and it was over $700 for the course and that's in-state tuition.

Plenty of people here take CC courses all the time - it's why we recommend NMJC and a handful of others all the time.

And yes, about 50% of states have expensive CC tuition, and will look elsewhere, while about 50% will have less (and sometimes FAR less expensive tuition), in which case they may want to check that out before paying $400 for a course.  Especially one where it's not self-paced, and happens on a traditional semester schedule.

This MAY be a good option for some, and MAY not be for others.  But we always try to throw out there the different options for everyone to remind them what might be right in their own backyard.

I think today is the last day for their "Pi" discount:

"Use code "BRAINFOOD" at checkout
