    Does anyone know of a fair to good DL algebra class? My wife needs 6 credits and does NOT want to take a CLEP, she would prefer DL.

    The requirements-
    Affordable (less than $250cr)
    Completely DL - online assignments and exams. She does not have time to arrange for proctored exams.

    Thank you for any input.

    The Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges granted full accreditation to Chemeketa in December 1972.
    There is no cost to enroll in Chemeketa Community College.
    For most online courses, tuition is $43 per credit plus a $35 fee for each online course.

    The object of proctored exams is to cut down on academic dishonesty. Are there really legitimate courses that are totally online with no proctoring even for tests?

    PBSYOU has telecourses in algebra (as well as many other subjects) but you need Direct TV. Their web site http://www.pbs.org/pbsyou/ lists colege credit courses and can direct you to a local college. Personally I think CLEP would be the quickest way to earn credit because they are available at any time but they are You might find a set of algebra course video tapes at your local library.
    I doubt if you will find an unproctored math exam.
    Does she really need algebra or could some other math courses do?

    She needs 6 credits in math for an AA. They could be algebra or math of liberal arts.
     
  6. Her best bet is to check first with an educational adviser at the school where she's getting her AA. They might even have their own DL Algebra course; a lot of community colleges offer DL but don't advertise it very well (they're getting better).

    And she could check out http://distancelearn.excelsior.edu/ -- a subject search for Mathematics-Algebra, courses only, and undergraduate level turns up many possibilities.

    University of California at Berkeley has a few math courses including Precalculus and Intermediate Algebra (despite the titles these are elementary courses). I doubt if too many schools would question credits from UC but you should always verify that transfer credit your school acceptable before you enroll. http://explore.berkeley.edu/UCExt/subdiscipline.asp?value=7.&action=Internet
