Open Book Exam Courses

If I tell you how, will you please stop? Straighterline has computerized test banks for all of those courses, which are full of thousands of questions. Ask SL to add to their current bank of questions for the particular courses that you took. Doable ? Yes.

As to this suggestion: sure, that'd be better than what they've currently got. I mean seriously, do you really think that what Straighterline is currently doing is legitimate? I was talking about this issue with family and honestly they were flabbergasted that anyone with an "online" degree would disagree with me about this. We are the ones who should be up in arms about it. Which was my original point.

And yes, I will stop. I don't have time to go on with this forever. I generally hate online arguments. Ask my wife. I can't stand them and almost never engage in them. But my [our] interests were at stake and I thought it worth my time and effort to say something about it (albeit imperfectly). Check my previous history. I'm not a rabble-rouser who just picks fights. I shouldn't have said "bring it," and should have written in a more circumspect manner. I was aiming at cheaters and slackers who want the lowest possible standard, but I should have been more clear. I apologize. Honestly. Would you please forgive me? I wasn't looking to irritate people who work hard to earn their degrees.

I'll send my own letter to my college and ACE and be done with it. If anyone else agrees, do the same. I don't think Straighterline in its current form and comparable courses deserve to qualify as college credit. I think it endangers our degrees. I'm not backing down about that because I think it's the truth.

I'm done.
