Looking for cheap speech class online?

[sayboom]

I know a local community college here has an online speech class too. Pensacola State College (http://www.pjc.edu/). I've looked into it but didn't take it. You record your speeches and submit them from what I gather.

Hmm Interesting. Thanks!

I just passed this course yesterday. It took me 2 weeks. Does anyone know how long it will take for my transcript to show up? I'm trying to send it in to receive my CCAF.

COSC accepts the class. Here's my review:

BYU Independent Study - Public Speaking

Out of curiosity, since I need to take this for COSC as well, and had been considering the DSST... does this come across with a letter grade on the transcript from BYU or is it just a pass/fail credit?

Thanks!

I will take the BYU class because I can work it as fast or as slow as I want in my own time. Yes I give presentations infront of groups/classes but I know the subject and can talk "off the cuff". I would have no prior knowledge of the topic for my speech and that would make me uncomfortable. Also I would have a good idea of how I did in the course while I was working on it. I have heard that it can take up to 8 weeks to get a grade on the DSST and graders can be difficult.

The transcript that I received from BYU had a letter grade on it. Personally, I chose to take the class because of the convenience and the ability to go at my own pace. I'm not against the DSST, but the reviews that I read about said exam weren't favorable at the time (1 year ago). The course itself wasn't difficult and I was able to both complete it and have my grade in 1 1/2 weeks. You're able to turn in multiple assignments at a time, too! Also, during this time I had taken the old school English Comp w/ Essay and was already dealing with the post-test-did-I-pass? anxiety and was not looking forward to doing that again. It's a matter of preference! The DSST is cheaper, but if you're looking for a course, then BYU is a great value for your money.

Just FYI in case you weren't already aware: closeout for CCAF Fall graduation is the last Friday in August. Your transcripts have to be in the center by that date to graduate in October.
