The pitfall with switching subjects frequently is that every time you do so, you may be hit with a 20-something question assessment and you have no option of skipping or canceling it. I remember commenting on this ALEKS. I can see how this can be a major nuisance to you and the kids if you have the intention of working on multiple subjects every day.
I understand- I am trying to decide if and where this would fit into our homeschool program for my oldest son. I wasn't looking so much at switching courses, I mostly wondered about taking them simultaneously. For example, enrolling in algebra and stats at the same time (2 classes)
Another example, could a person take both the stats and the behavior stats at the same time? Or behavior stats with business stats? These courses probably would not duplicate credit, but would have extensive content overlap. (I am thinking of efficient credit-earning, especially while your in "the zone" ).
