“Quick/Easy” 2 or 3 credit science course? - acamp - 09-02-2018
Good evening all,
To obtain more certification, I am 2 credits short in science. I have a 4 credit Biology life science course with lab, a 3-credit human biology course, a Basic Botany 3 credit course, and Environmental Studies (3 credits). So I have a total of 13 and need either a 2 or 3 credit science course for my additional certification. It can be lower level.
I am trying to stay away from CLEP/SAYLOR study on your own approach so for the lowest cost I am thinking either StraighterLine, onlinedegree or Study.com (or maybe I’m missing another similar platform).
Any ideas for that last 2 or 3 credit science course that is pretty quick/easy from a StraighterLine, Study.com, or onlinedegree?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I forgot to mention that the course needs to be accepted through TESU

Study.com is going to have the most. Here are those:
AST 101: Intro to Astronomy
NUTR 101: Science of Nutrition
BIO 101: Intro to Biology
BIO 102: Basic Genetics
GEN 101: Intro to Genetics
BIO 103: Microbiology
BIO 105: Anatomy & Physiology
BIO 106: Pathophysiology
CHEM 101: General Chemistry
ESCI 101: Earth Science
ESCI 104: Intro to Meteorology
ENS 101: Environment & Humanity
SCI 101: Intro to Natural Sciences
SCI 102: Principles of Physical Science
PHY 101: Intro to Physics
PHY 111: Physics I
PHY 112: Physics II
GEOL 101: Physical Geology

You could use the half off coupon for the Sophia environmental science course on the Purdue Global or University of Phoenix Sophia sites. That would be about $160.

https://phoenix.sophia.org/#courses
That would be in the same ballpark as a membership and class from study.com or straighterline. I haven't taken the class, but I would bet that it would be pretty easy and nice.
Ah, bummer. It looks like you already might have a similar credit.

Thank you for your response and list Dfrecore. Do you happen to know which ones on this list would be the quickest to complete from your experience?
If anyone else have taken those, feel free to chime in.
Also, I know “quickest” is very subjective but more so quick in regards to amount of lessons and not too difficult for a non-science major.

A course you haven't taken yet would be Study.com or StraighterLine Introduction to Nutrition.
It's probably the easiest science from any ACE/NCCRS provider, and even at a Community College.
People have been recommending that course over any other... by far the most recommended...

Hello and thank you! Is that the same study course as the SCIENCE OF NUTRITION?

Yes. From Study.com, it's Science of Nutrition.

Both my high school sons did Microbiology without lab through SL- easy peasy.

Hello Jennifer,
Did they take it on SL or study? Thanks!

Looks like Study.com's Meteorology course is by far the shortest of their science courses. That does not mean that it's easy, so take the info for what it's worth.
