Straighterline, Penn Foster, or ALEKS?

[micahcooksey]

Hi,

I'm trying to fulfill the Managerial/Business Communications part of my BSBA from TESC degree plan. I'm thinking the straighterline course would be best, but I haven't done any of the three options (SL, PF, and ALEKS). What is the quickest, easiest, and fastest?

Correct me if I am wrong but the Straighterline course is a freshman level course, Penn Foster does not have an upper elective management communication that I found, I'd be interested to know myself.

Ok, so the Managerial/Business Communications area has to be upper level?

Penn Foster's course Business & Technical Writing ENG121 (ACE course # ICS-0197) is super fast and easy if you can create business correspondence. It does fill the business communications requirement and transcribes at TESC as ENG-216. Once you've completed the course, transfer to your ACE account, then have the ACE transcript sent to TESC.
What I did so there would be no surprises, was had the course approved. I called in to advising, gave them the ICS number and the advisor added it to my evaluation.

B: Mgrl/Bus Communs (Pending)
> Complete 3 semester hours in managerial communications or
> business communications.
Src Course # Title S.H. Grd TESC # Notes
1.. ICS-0197 Bus and Tech Writing..... (3.00) --- ENG-216 *PL *TE

The course includes: 2 multiple choice exams, 3 papers, 1 final paper. All submitted online. Papers took two days to grade. I would wait to receive the grade on a paper before submitting the next so the course took 9 days total.
