Brand new - looking for courses similar to Modern States

[kevie]

Hi - this is my first post here.  I found this site when signed up for the IC test prep back in September.  My oldest daughter was starting college and I was preparing to take the CLEP for business law as I had decided to “finally” try to finish my bachelors degree. 

I was also taking a marketing management course online at the same school where I had earned my associates degree many years ago.  The course was set up to where you basically read a textbook chapter each week, and do weekly posts and assignments.  I LIKED Modern States where you watch videos, but my online course was dry and boring and akin to being self-taught but with the restriction of not being able to work at your own pace, so you could only earn the 3 credits after a long semester.  It was going to take a long time time for me to finish this way and I had already started questioning my decision to finish the bachelors as this seemed like such drudgery.  And then, this forum!!

I started reading post after post here and researching about this alternative way to earn credits towards a college degree.  Sent my transcripts to Charter Oak in December, which took more than a few weeks to get my evaluation, but it was during the holiday season so that’s understandable.  And now I’m ready to get up and running.  What a valuable site this is and I appreciate all of the posters here who share their information and experiences.  I hope that I will learn some information as I proceed on this journey, so that I can share and give back too.

My question is, for someone like me who likes Modern States, which class offerings are more setup that way - would it be Saylor, StraighterLine, Study.com - or some other? 

Thanks in advance.
