MOOC + ALEKS or DSST = Simple Credit

You know, DIYCollege, there used to be discussions on this board about whether one should start with easy courses/tests/etc., or dive into the hard stuff. Jumping into the hard courses/tests/etc. that don't have perquisites can be a good idea. That way, you get the tough stuff out of the way first, and it doesn't loom over you. Should you not succeed on your first attempt, you have more wiggle room in which to schedule make up courses/exams, etc. Good luck to both of you.
