  ECE History of Nazi Germany
Posted by: rjc311 - 04-27-2006, 04:07 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - No Replies

Has anyone taken the Excelsior History of Nazi Germany test? It is being discontinued in June but I want those 3 upper level history credits. I was hoping for some input from anyone that has attempted the exam...

  Anyone Else Finding Ordering A Dantes Test A Pain ?
Posted by: RBOWMAN - 04-27-2006, 03:34 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (12)

A word to the wise, I goofed up and decided to take another Dantes course at the last minute and now Iam waiting for the University of Texas at Arlington to order the exam and they say it will take upwards of two weeks to get the test in.Sad There's another reason to like Clep tests better. Not only waiting for the test to come in , but then for the score to get reported two and a half weeks following taking the test.

  I have an "academic question"...
Posted by: tampalizard - 04-27-2006, 01:50 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (15)

I know little about college rules so I will admit my stupidity but.....
If I get this Bachelors in General Business and THEN decide I want to get a Bachelors in Business Information Technology....can I just take the classes that are different, for example, the "concentration" subjects and use my core and other class credits toward that degree as well? Could I get another degree by getting..say another 40-60 credit hours?

  Passed Civil War
Posted by: Nodean - 04-27-2006, 01:24 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (5)

I just received my score and was pleasantly surprised with a 62! It took 15 days for the score to arrive. I used instancert, watched Ken Burns special and read about half of Mcpherson's civil war and reconstruction text. I believe I would have passed using only Instantcert but would recommend the Ken Burns special for entertainment value as well as reinforcement. Intro to Ed, Intro to business law and statistics and I'm done !!!!

  Textbook Prices
Posted by: Nodean - 04-27-2006, 11:01 AM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (2)

I just signed up for a summer school anatomy class and the textbook was $150! I almost passed out. I haven't bought a textbook in awhile so I was shocked. Anyone know of any cheap internet sites that they have had luck with? I'm not against buying used if its in good condition.

  DSST Fundamentals of Counseling
Posted by: libartsmgr - 04-26-2006, 11:04 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (24)

If anyone has taken this one already, I'd really appreciate any feedback. I'm planning this one for next week and would really like to hear other's thoughts on it. I'm hoping it's not more difficult than it seems.
To date, there doesn't seem to be any discussion around this exam other than a couple mentions of intending to take it.

Thanks!

  Labor Relations ECE Exam for upper level credit
Posted by: tampalizard - 04-26-2006, 01:40 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (6)

Hello all,
I just finished the test in Labor relations so I wanted to let you know what I found. Since there is little specific study material, it was difficult to decide what to concentrate on. The following topics seemed to weigh heavily on the version I took...

"Good faith" bargaining
The role of the National Labor Relations Board in dispute resolution.
The difference and actions of Wagner act and all the amending acts.
Differences between a private and a public sector union and the difference in rules governing them.
Mediation vs Arbitration
Rules of arbitration
The "chain of command" for dispute settlement within the union
Rules for attempting to organize a union and the employers rights when it comes to opposing a union.

As far as preparing for the test....I used the ECE study guide from the Excelsior site and pulled up the major outline subjects on Wikipedia.I also looked at the sections and questions on Labor relation and employment law on Principals of management and Human resources on InstantCert. For an upper level test...it really was not as bad as I expected. I passed the test with an A.

  Okay let's do alittle Clep busting
Posted by: RBOWMAN - 04-26-2006, 07:42 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (10)

Iam wondering how many credits in theory I could actually imagine getting in one week if I really went after it either using clep or dsst. Here's the game .. this really must be doable and yes this is a game..alittle relief and past testing knowledge...so if I started on Monday.. and tried to set the clep record..I would take this plan of action:

Monday morning...social science and history{easy test} 6 credits
Monday afternoon...analyzing writing test{easy test} 6 credits

now who wants to take it from there...it's our chance to put together a speed week of testing. You're up ..so Tuesday I TAKE????????

  Passed Human Growth & Development
Posted by: Nodean - 04-25-2006, 09:59 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (5)

Passed with a 66! Ace recommended 50, used Instantcert primarily (2weeks) with REA's study guide ( $34.95 overkill). I liked the CLEP format and the wording of the questions (common sense) much more than DANTES. Instantcert was more than enough! Now on to Intro to Ed Psych...
