Straighterline Introduction to Business

[IrishJohn]

I completed this course today with a 92% and must say that it was an easy 3 credits. I couldn't take the DSST exam mainly because I didn't have the time to study as I thought I might need to, so SL was the route I chose to finish this. I spent a little more than what the DSST exam costs, $80+$20 proctor fee compared to $10 book+$99 SL monthly fee+$39 SL class fee, but I also didn't have to spend any time studying. I spent a whole day on this course and completed all 6 exams without ever reading the book or really using the other materials. Since I have a background in business and mainly just need the 3 credits to satisfy TESC BSBA requirements, I'm not disappointed in the quality as I would have been if I was a complete novice to the subject. The book itself is essential to complete the course, you'll use the glossary and index frequently. It's also not a bad book from what I could tell, a pretty good... well, introduction to business. If you're worried about the DSST exam or don't have time to study for it, I highly recommend taking the SL course. However, if you have no background in business and want to learn the material for future use then study for the DSST exam or take the course through KCTCS - or even at a much slower pace through SL I suppose.

I swear I'm finishing SL Economics 1 next. I couldn't help being distracted by what appeared to be an easy 3 credits - which I was right about!
