Also- is Study.com like SL (cumulative score including quizzes and final) or like Saylor (final is the only score that âcountsâ) Thanks
Haha this is funny. I took History 108 Vientam war and Globalization and Organization management last month.
This month I am taking these exact courses, Principles of Finance and Digital Marketing.
I'd say just go for it. If you get 100 on all the quizzes, you need a 55% to pass, which isn't bad.
I considered taking the Penn Foster course(Financial Management), but I got a bad vibe from it because it is a Nationally accredited place and the final is unproctored(no offense to anyone that took it).
What I'm really enjoying about Study.com - although everyone learns differently - is that by having to take a quiz after each lesson(and making sure to get 100%) you reinforce the ideas from that lesson in your mind.
Also, each lesson afterwards progressively adds more terms but also defines old term again, so you get even more reinforcement.
Good luck and have fun learning
