College Algebra-No Exams

Here is an old thread on dl algebra courses; perhaps something from amongst this array may suit your needs.

Yes, Penn Foster withdrew their candidacy for regional accreditation. I wonder why? It seems like it would have been a good move for them.

 

Hi LiveFromHouston,
Sorry for the late answer but I just saw your private message.
By the way your Private message box is full...

Thank you very much for the Info on the TECEP, that's the answer I was waiting for...

You asked xbout Practical Algebra:

Have you taken it? No
I'm wondering what the format of the final exam is; timed? Fill-in-the-blank or multiple-choice?

I've never taken a final yet but so far the courses that I've taken are fairly easy, you shouldn't have any problem.

There are never more than 20 multiple choice questions on the quizzes those are unproctored untimed open book they are an easy 90 t 100.

The quizzes count for 70% of the grade and the final is 30%, you are allowed a retake on the final.
Apparently, final exams are never more than 20 questions, mix of multiple choice and short answers.

The final is a proctored 1 hour exam; you can select the proctor...

One more thing, I think since Penn foster is no longer a candidate for RA, courses should transfer as Pass/fail instead of letter grades.
I read on your thread that excelsior will not accept the Practical algebra course for the business program.
There is another course at Penn foster that I am pretty sure will be accepted.
Analytic Geometry and Calculus
ACE Transcript Data: 0079 ICS

Objective: To provide a basic foundation in analytic geometry and coverage of topics in differential and integral calculus.


Instruction: Major topics covered in the course are rectangular coordinates; graphs of linear equations, conic sections; exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions; continuity; limits; derivatives and their applications, including derivatives of implicit functions, parametric equations, and trigonometric, exponential, hyperbolic, and logarithmic functions; and integrals and their applications; methods of integration; and polar coordinates.
Credit Recommendation: In the lower division baccalaureate/associate degree category, 4 semester hours in Analytic Geometry and Calculus
Call excelsior, Let me know what answer is.


Good luck...........

 

I forgot to mention That the Final is open book ...........

 

What's the verdict??

Has anyone actually found a simple, easy, affordable math class with no exams yet??

 

Hello all:
"Analytic Geometry and Calculus ACE Transcript Data: 0079 ICS" This course, when taken at Penn Foster, is very challenging.
It is not a no examination course. Also there is a final Proctored exam for this course if you are a Student enrolled in an Associate Degree Program. I took it in my ASTET program while there at Penn Foster. In addition, their Algebra, and Trig, courses are also very challenging and require many exams including proctored finals.
Also, something else interest me. I can't seem to find AV8R's call sign listed in the QRZ.com data base. As an Extra Class operator, and having tested for the license, I had a very large content of algebra related questions on the exam. There were J operators and complex numbers problems dealing with reactive circuits and transmission lines.
I guess my final question is: why would anyone want to study math without testing to see and aid one in the final understanding of the subject? Doing calculations using the mathematical techniques is how one learns and the examinations are guides as to how well you have learned

I really don't think there is such a beast. The closest next best alternative is maybe BYU's online math courses with their Speedback(online?) exams.

 

Re: What's the verdict??

Amberton University, perhaps? $600.00 for MAT1013. After reviewing the syllabus, I saw no mention of a test proctor. Classes are 8-10 weeks in duration, as I understand it. Call them to find out.

One can access the syllabus for MAT1013 at their FTP site.

I think people should not fear math. If you take your time, be careful and learn the steps... it's easier than you can imagine. I myself have been diagnosed dyslectic and I struggled with math because of it, but ever since I realized my weakness, I simply managed it and fought through the course with an "A" (with Exams, at a B&M school).

 

ok sounds doable then

Thanks

 

I'm interested

 

I took a course with no exams - just 8 quizzes that you took online, after doing the homework online. No midterm and no final. However it was pricey - $1300 with the book. However, it met Excelsior's requirement.

 

no exams

How do I find a non proctored exam? I do not rely on someone watching me for integrity !

 

Plenty of good info in this thread. No need to ask again.

 

LOL ^this^

 

Says the poster with algebra as their forum name.... lol
