Statistics - Saylor VS Jumpcourse VS Pearson - tman7479 - 11-24-2016

I'm enrolled at CSU Global officially as of today! I completed statistics at a university in the past (It was hard, with linear regression, and all sorts of advanced topics). Since it was more than 10 years old they took my stats as a General Elective and I have to take it again for Gen Ed

CSU global takes Alternative Credit Project Sources and they specially list these as options for stats:
Mathematical Concepts Introduction to Statistics ACPE-0017 Saylor
Mathematical Concepts Introduction to Statistics ACPE-0032 JumpCourse
Mathematical Concepts Statistics ACPE-0014 Pearson

Is there anyone here that has taken courses at all of these? I've heard Saylor can have a lot of dead links and test questions not in the study material, etc. I've heard Pearson is expensive but they don't use proctored exams. I don't know anything about JumpCourse.

If anyone has feedback on which is the best to take of these 3 I'd appreciate it.

I have read somewhere that Saylor may be a little difficult, but doable. I myself plan to take statistics and might go this route. I would go check it out.

It appears Pearson / Propero is not available. When I look at purchasing the course here Propero Statistics 3.0
it says not available.

I took Saylor's Business Statistics and found it difficult. I did not take their intro to statistics course, I used ALEKS for that. If that course regains ACE certification, I highly recommend it. The teaching method at ALEKS worked great for me, and I like the assessment approach.

I hope ALEKS regains Certification, My sister is currently taking it, but its through community college.

If she's taking it through her CC, then she'll get her credit through the school, and won't need the ACE credit at all.
