Default Anyone here used LSU Business Finance FIN 317 for Excelsior requirement?

If so, please comment. The DSST has me freaked out.

Some details from LSU website...

Approximately five to ten selected questions and problems from textbooks.

Material covered in Exams
Mid-course exam covers lessons 1-9
the final exam covers lessons 10-16. Each exam will be worth 100 points.

Each exam consists of a matching section, multiple-choice questions, and problems to solve.

Exam Proctor
All exams must be taken with a proctor. LSU students will test in the Independent and Distance Learning Testing Office. All other Louisiana students should test at approved Louisiana testing sites. Out of state students must arrange for an approved proctor. An approved proctor, generally, is a university testing facility or administrator, military education office, or other such facility.

If the student passes the final, the final grade is obtained by adding the point values earned on the lesson assignments and the points earned on the two exams. The total available points = 264.
