Do most online colleges offer recorded lectures?

    I know this may be an odd question, but I seem to recall what I hear. I am hoping to finish an online BA in Psychology next year. I have an evaluation request in with TESC and am hoping I will only need UL Psych classes. I realize I will be doing a lot of writing, but would like some lectures.

    If anyone has taken an online UL psych class with lectures they enjoyed, and of course at affordable rates, please share.

    Thank you.

    Not so cheap, but top quality lectures -most with a 72 hour delay, can be found through Harvard's Extension www.harvard.ed (top tab "continuing education") LOTS of psych classes!!
    The way my class worked, is the lecture was on a certain day, and then within a day or two (3 at most) it was uploaded to the web for distance students to view. Disadvantage was that no add'l homework completion time was given, despite the F2F students getting a jump start.

    Statistics is a required course for this degree. If you do not already completed this course there is a 13 hour video on the Annenberg site:

    After following this video course you could then take the DSST exam

    Thanks guys. Harvard is too rich for my blood :) Though, I'm reading a book by a prof there now, guess that's a bit like staying at a Holiday Inn Express.

    Ian, did Stats a LONG time ago, so done there. I'm anxiously awaiting my TESC eval, because I'm really thinking at this point it will only be psych classes. Also, I need actual grades for these final classes as I plan on going to grad school.

    Ok, but they have some very interesting psych classes!
    At $950 per course, it is a little expensive- but that's for 4 credits, so still under $250 per credit, so not terrible.
