e-Pack course - Industrial Psychology

[colandra]

Hello!

Does anyone have any study tips, and info about this course? I'm already taking this class, but I cant find out any info about the format of the final. Essays or multi-choice? Any particular chapters I need to focus one or is it evenly distributed? Any help will be awesome! Thank in advance.

I haven't heard of the e-pack courses before - what is the tuition on them?

Information on what an ePack course is: Thomas Edison State College: e-Pack Courses

As for your specific course colandra, you might not be able to get an answer as the majority of people on here don't deal much with the ePack courses. Most take guided study or online courses since they offer grades (while the ePack is CR/NC). While the study topics may not be easy to find, the website does say to expect a 100 question multiple choice exam and to expect content from all of the quizzes (see http://www.tesc.edu/academics/Final-Exam.cfm).

I took that one as one of my core electives for the BSBA-HR/OrgMgmt. It was multiple choice like a TECEP. As far as what chapters to focus on, this was a year and a couple months ago so I'm afraid my memory is foggy there.

If you're familiar with the flashcard format of InstantCert, I treated the chapter practice quizzes much like IC flashcards, then used the textbook to fill in and put flesh on the snippets of information taken from the questions. That said, HR is part of my job and much of the material in the course seemed familiar so I got a bit arrogant, thinking it would be cake. It wasn't. I did about two passes through the quizzes and a quick skim of the text. I passed, but I walked out of the proctor convinced I'd failed and about fell over when I learned otherwise a few weeks later. I will say that in the course of my half-hearted study for this exam, I plowed through the first half of the book and when it was all familiar, I only barely skimmed the second half of the text. That was a mistake. Do not skimp on chapters. I thank God and extensive job training for my pass, because I nearly fumbled this one.

If I had it to do again, I'd do this:
1) Go through all the chapter practice quizzes multiple times before opening the book and make a study guide based on the questions and answers. Make sure you do go through them multiple times because you'll get different questions every time you take it. Some of the questions from the quizzes were on the exam, if not verbatim, then only slightly reworded.
2) After that, read the book. It is an easy read and well worth the money and time. It's the only text in my 120 credit collection that I still use outside of the course for work.

Despite my near-oops due to arrogance for this one due to initial familiarity with the material, the e-Pack format was my favorite offered by TESC. I just wish it were priced more competitively because it does open up quite a bit more choice in course selection. GoodYellowDogs, the cost is the same as an online or guided study course, priced per-credit. It was only a reasonable choice for me on Comprehensive Tuition. If not for that, I think I'd be hard-pressed to pay that.

Thanks! I had found the website but couldn't figure out where it fit into the tuition costs. I was hoping it would be the price of the tests
