Straighterline New Proctor Policy Change

[Publius]

I agree, I believe we came all to a conclusion. It's a neutral status. Neither of us won in this one, Straighterline may lose a bit of customers from the big three and us at DF will lose a source of gaining credit. Well, the ones who are still interested in taking exams proctored with a fee, won't lost anything heh. I liked Straighterline a lot, I wouldn't be here without it. I learned a lot of Straighterline courses, a lot! I loved the self pace format. Publius is right, Straighterline still beats the crap out of taking a course at $600-$700 a credit. Will I recommended them? Probably not, only because one can complete CLEPS and DSSTs for much cheaper. Or go the Penn Foster route and take the proctored examinations at a libary. We all have to do what is "best" for everyone on this forum.

Like I said, I wouldn't be here right now without the help of Straighterline providing self pace courses. 6 credits away from my B.A. So yes thanks Straighterline for providing higher education for the rest of us. Business is business at the end of the day, you guys have to do what is best for you. Good luck Straighterline in your endeavors.

I think that sums it up -- Nice job Ace King. DF wiki is "fixed". It doesn't sound like they're as trigger happy to flag student accounts. It's no longer $30 for proctoring, just a $10 increase. Courses purchased before Nov 1st don't require proctoring (they're honoring their current students). And yes, they keep the proctored final. No one losses, no one side wins.
