Whats the fastest you've completed a StraighterLine course?

[ryoder]

I went pretty fast through these courses as well, however I think we owe it to ourselves and our degrees to learn the material in excess of Straighterline's requirements. That means reading most of the book and doing most of the exercises. I guarantee you it will pay dividends later on, especially if the course is a prereq for one's masters degree.

I have to agree with ryoder on this. We say we work as hard for our degree as those who do B & M degrees, shouldn't we be learning something and getting something out of these courses?

I am not saying if you already know the material from extensive experience you shouldn't be able to finish quickly, but if it is so easy to complete several test in several different subjects then what are we proving?

Using Instantcert for cramming for CLEP's/DSST's, using Mathway for Aleks, open book tests for WGU/SL/TESC, paying for the Specific Exam Feedback access - I hear of many different methods for preparing for and successfully completing classes for college credit . And you know what - I think its great that these options are available for us to use. Congrats to everyone for taking advantage of those opportunities and having a goal of completing your degree as quickly and cheaply as possible. I mean - isn't that what this site is for?

I need to knock out four courses, I was thinking two weeks, but if you guys are all saying in a matter of hours that's even better. How much harder is a course with a Lab? They offer more credits so I could knock it down to three if the time is still under 2-3 weeks for completion.

Are the tests proctored? I've heard they remote your desktop and video, true?

Heard they are not good/quick about getting credits reported to your college as well, true?

Thanks for any help.
