Free Winter term for Sophia members, Strayer U

[jch]

Successfully took and passed the CIS 109 Intro to management info systems exam just now. ProctorU actually worked well this morning. It's 50 multiple choice questions, with 90 minutes allowed. Must get at least 75% to pass. Scratch paper is allowed, although I don't know why you'd use it on this particular exam. I'm still searching for a master list of materials allowed on all the challenge exams. Login was smooth, the proctor simply loaded up a URL from a Strayer subdomain at an online testing service, then pasted in their passcode. No login drama like I've experienced with TESU.

I didn't really need this credit, because I already have it from Sophia. However, it's always good to replace ACE credits with RA if the opportunity arises. To study, I reviewed the Sophia MIS text and some relevant Quizlets.

If I have time, I'll attempt some of the other CIS stuff this weekend. ProctorU was unfortunately not allowing instant openings this morning, and the next slots were 1-2 hours. Because of personal health and family scheduling reasons, I really can't book these in advance.

Nothing is showing up on icampus yet, but I think Strayer's systems work on overnight batch processing. Additionally, some manual work at the registrar's office may be needed to add it to my transcript.
