Propero/Pearson courses

[sanantone]

I signed up for Accounting 2, there is no proctored exams for the course, I do not believe there are any proctored exams for any of the courses.

I guess I will give my review of Propero's Accounting 2, so it may help others:

I decided to be this board's "guinea pig" for the Accounting 2 course I can honestly say it has been a disaster. I have passed every clep/dsst I have taken with high scores, I'm a 4.0 student, and I survived the entire Aleks system but I could not pass Propero Accounting 2. The problem is the e-text is based on Pearson's textbook, which is meant to be used with their "MyAccoutingLab" website, which doesn't come with the Propero course. All the problems in the textbook that should be worked though so you understand the material is useless because the only way to see the correct answers is if you have the "my Accounting lab" software. I even bought a hard copy of the textbook to see if that would help me -but no, if you want to see the answers for the questions in each chapter its says to login on to the My Accounting Lab website, which is only available to students in a real college accounting class. Also there are not "unlimited practice quizzes" as stated on Propero's website. The quizzes also feature questions from chapters not even covered yet, so that's a curve ball I wasn't expecting.

I wrote a very well written and detailed letter to my Propero advisor about this situation. She said she would "be in touch", that's been over 2 weeks ago now. I decided to just move on and take a $300 loss on the class. I am so disheartened about not passing Accounting 2 I decide to change degree paths from BSBA to a BA in Social Sciences, so I could at least keep taking Dsst's to get closer to the degree.

Although having non-proctored exams is a huge plus, not being able to work though and see the correct answers for the end of the chapters problems made this class impossible for me. I would not recommend a Propero class which the included e-text is truly meant to be used with additional software not included in the course.

It seems like we have a couple of people on here so far who have had issues with Propero. Straighterline might be the better option.
