  Hello to webmaster...did not know where to ask this question Thread.
Posted by: X #911 - 08-07-2006, 09:59 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (1)

The IC flashcards ARE wonderful!!!

I have a couple of quick questions/observations.

In the test 4 answer 12 of the Am. Govern.
Should it be non-stratifed, instead of nonstratified (no hyphen)?

Just curious because I like to learn EVERYTHING!!

Also in the Answer section of Question #30 (I actually read them) Smile
I think a period was left off, the end on the sentence.

Just an helpful observation to 'fix' any errors (typos) on the pages.

I also try (but not always) to contact the web master of any web site to correct those typos.

Drives me crazy when a web page has a misspelled word such as:
recieved yikes!!! instead of received
or
the word won, when it should be the correct wording of one (meaning number).
Read that one in the paper once -- cracked me up. (Something to the fact of "There was only 'won' missing bicycle.) What has spell checker done for us lately. Smile

  Finally got my Score...!
Posted by: Alaskan - 08-07-2006, 08:47 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (7)

Cool...got the big envelope with my DANTES Principles of Supervision exam score today. I took the exam around July 20th so it took about 18 days to get the results. Scored a 62 so I'm quite happy. I plan on taking Here's To Your Health in the next week or two. Man, it feels good to not have to sit through a semester in class and to still get the credit.

Thanks,

Alaskan

  Just took Sociology
Posted by: Karenel - 08-07-2006, 04:46 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (4)

This was my second exam first was Dantes World Religions and today Clep Sociology.....I PASSED!!!! My score was a 70 Sad but I only studied for 5 days using IC. The material on IC was sufficient, but critical thinking is a must...read between the lines, a lot of the questions were in the IC answer explanations...but a BIG hilarious thank you to IC for making this the fastest and easiest way to get those credits. I only have two more courses to go, Dantes Ethics and CLEP Human Growth and Development, from what I have read on the board HG & D is the next choice to make, once I have passed these two then I finish my Nursing Core with Excelsior and I am FINITO!!!!

  How will you celebrate?
Posted by: Librevore - 08-06-2006, 05:46 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (42)

Hi all,

I've got a long way to go before getting my BA but thought it might be fun to start collecting celebration ideas now. There was one of "us" who took a family vacation camping on a beach and another that I think is going to go on a cruise. Getting that degree will be a wonderful accomplishment. What do you think would be the most perfect way to celebrate? (And to make it really interesting-let's pretend that money is not a factor.) I'm looking forward to hearing your ideas, especially since quite a few of you are a lot more creative than I am.

To get this started-Maybe a month long vacation spent hiking along the Lewis and Clark trail. It would be glorious to be off work and outside for that long.

  Charter Oak's General Studies Degrees
Posted by: shadowcross - 08-06-2006, 07:51 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (7)

While I was still considering which of the "Big Three" to gain my future degree from, I requested Prospecti from the TESC and COSC (EC has it all online).

I rather like what I read in both EC and TESC. I have a Slight problem with the material presented in the COSC.

I really do not intend to bash this institution, but I am really bothered by its degree program.

Upon completion of the required courses, a degree in "General Studies" is awarded.

Charter Oak's credit requirement is actually the most open-ended, I've ever seen, which means that after you fill the General ed requirements, you can take ANYTHING else to fill the numbers. This is Great, but.....

What is General Studies?

After Filling the General Ed requirements, There is a specified number of Credits filled by courses YOU choose, to fulfill the "Concentration."

The Concentration isn't labled on the diploma, however.

to me, "General Studies" is Just "General Studies"

It looks a lot like the requirements of the Arts degrees that are offered by TESC and EC. I may be comparing Catalopes and Honeydews, but to me, the name, "Arts", sounds so much more appealing than "General Studies." Plus there is the added bonus that the Major is included on the Degree.

I believe many would choose a Major over a Concentration. Including prospective empolyers.

Again, I really don't mean to bash on COSC, nor do I wish to change the path of current COSC students.

This College actually provides, what I've concluded is the "Path of least resistance" towards getting any of its four degrees ( AA, AS, BA, and BS). And for those not influenced by a name, and those only concerned with personal accomplishment, Keep on it!

Even I would accomplish a BSGS much fast if I went this route ( as they will use my Tech Credits), But I am interested in the name, and thus decided to gain my degree elsewhere.

Take what You will from my rant.

Cheers!

  VOTE: Recommendation of which clep test should you take first?
Posted by: brt4x4clep - 08-06-2006, 03:14 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (5)

Granted each one of us is knowledge in different areas.
But which one of the following...do you recommend taking first.

Vote for the one subject that you think a 'newbie' should test out on to get "their feet wet with" doing a clep test.
In order words, if some one had NO knowledge what so ever in these choices.
What is your opinon of the easiest test you took.
And what specific study guide did you use for that test. (list your score if you like)

Hope I am making my polling thread/request clear. Smile

Please also post the order of your other recommendations.

Voting ends in 47 days. (Wanted to make it a weird/odd number and brief.) LOL

Thank you in advance for all that vote (help me make a decision on what to study first--I appreciate it greatly.)

  VOTE for which study guide(s) to use for: Pyschology
Posted by: brt4x4clep - 08-06-2006, 02:40 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (4)

Which one do you recommend as a supplemental to IC study guide?

Just would like your recommendations. These were the only printed books that I could find on this clep course.
(And the only difference I could find in option 1 & 2 was the edition release date.)

The OTHER could mean InstantCert WITH an additional study guide (please specify what guide you recommend).


Please vote early the "polling office" closes in 60 days. Smile

  GI Bill, Veterans and CLEP

If you are a Veteran with MGIB, did you know you can get reimbursed for CLEP and other tests now? I thought it was only active duty who could get them free but was apparently wrong.
