Are there any schools that offer self-paced correspondence or online courses with no minimum time limit to complete courses? If anyone have any experiences with any schools please post...Also I looking to take some math courses and I haven't been to school in years...so if please also post suggestions. Thanks
UC Berkeley offers courses on line (and maybe via snail mail) and some, if not all, allow six months to complete the course. Here is one of several math courses: http://explore.berkeley.edu/UCExt/courseview.asp?secid=421&value=5.3.&action=Internet
I am taking a couple correspondence couses through the University of Texas. They do have a minimum time limit of about 2 months, which is essentially irrelevant for practical reasons: turn-around time for graded lessons and proctored midterm and final exams. Of the 2 courses, one prof has a much faster turn-around than the other. In fact, one lesson manual is considerable more helpful than the other as well. There is also a maximum time limit of 9 months for these courses with an extension potentially available. If you are in a hurry definitely consider only on-line or e-mail submitted lessons. Even then, graded papers are sometimes returned by snail mail. Credit-by-exam is probably the fastest way, limited primarily by how much time you need to prepare for the exam. Elizabeth
Upper Iowa University has corresponsence courses through their external degree program. They do have a six month time limit for completion. www.uiu.edu Bill
