Saylor Courses - gams007 - 06-28-2020

Saylor Direct Credit exams will soon be available for these courses:

  • ENGL001: English Composition I

  • ENGL210: Technical Writing

  • GEOG101: World Regional Geography

According to https://www.saylor.org/partners/credit-partners/thomas-edison-state-university-saylor-direct-credit-transfer-partner/ they don't accept project management from Saylor. There are some UL courses that come in from Saylor, though. Business Statistics & Principles of Management. Corporate Communication comes in as a 300-level but it looks like it still only counts as LL.

Project Management is fairly new, and TESU probably hasn't reviewed it yet. So if they take other Saylor courses, they'll probably take this one (and probably UL).

Business Stats will not come in as UL I don't think (they used to bring it in as OPM-351, but I think they stopped a while ago). TESU changed to match ACE more closely, and this is ACE-recommended as LL.

Prin of Mgmt won't come in as UL either. It's also ACE-rec LL.

Sophia has project management. I'm guessing it would come in as a LL since it seems like everything from Sophia is LL. Have you checked Study.com?

Actually, not really...

I don't know for TESU, but for COSC Sophia Project Management is transfered as: MGT 460 Fundamentals of Project Management, upper level course

You can check here:

I finish Sophia Project Management last week, nice course, but based in content and difficultness i can say it is a LL course as all Sophia courses... even ACE takes it as LL course... but for some reason (at least) COSC takes it as UL...

(Anyway, probably it comes as LL for TESU)

RE: Saylor Courses - Sunshine326 - 08-12-2020

Hi all, 

So I opted not to take Principles of Management through my school Southern NH University (SNHU) for $1096 and chose to take it via Saylor Academy and want to provide a recent an honest review. 

First, I got an 85 on the direct credit exam that my school participates in with Saylor. I didn't even read all the class material. Instead, I studied the study guides Saylor provides, used a REA CLEP exam prep book for larger concepts, googled some larger terms I didn't know. Then, I did the non credit exam. This was a mistake. I got more out of doing the practice quizzes at the end of each unit. there were 9 total. I did them and redid them and did them again then I studied the concepts I wasn't strong in briefly and then redid the quizzes (not the non credit exam!). Once I was getting the unit quizzes right at 80-100% I scheduled my test and passed it. The questions are tricky but not awful. Those unit quizes prepared me best. Now, not to spout religious stuff but I also prayed to St. Joseph of Cupertino for assistance just prior to the test - he's the patron saint of students and exams as well as St. Judas Thaddeus - the patron of desperate causes because passing means I graduate 12/2020 instead of 3/2021 - I was desperate! Praise both St. Joseph of Cupertino and St. Judas Thaddeus for helping me pass - I'm not even catholic! Try it you've nothing to lose!

Finally, that whole proctorU thing SUCKED. Would NEVER do it again - do sophia learning instead. I did 6 of those and was so happy I did those. 

Good luck!


RE: Saylor Courses - arad - 06-08-2021

Hi, can anyone give more feedback on the business courses at Saylor, please? looks like Principles of Management should be avoided. are the other courses/exams as bad? I've read some bad experiences, especially for CS/ Social sciences. I appreciate any input. I'm considering to go with Sophia/ SDC but want to take things slowly and not pay a monthly fee at the moment. Thank you
