Default Research And Writing Requirement- Excelsior

Does anyone know of another course that meets the 1 unit Research and Writing requirement at Excelsior?

I am looking for self paced, fast and quick. Preferrably online.

It is my last class before graduation.

Thanks,

Doesn't the Excelsior course meet all those requirements? Except that it doesn't start for another month. You can do Graduate Research and Writing, which starts in a few days, but it costs about four times as much. Or you can do any upper-level course in your major that includes a research paper, and then submit that graded paper.

Gary,

Thanks for the advise. I thought that I could take the Excelsior course, except according to my advisor it is 8 weeks long and is "not self paced" according to them. I am trying to dig up an old research paper that has been graded, but am having trouble finding those old files.

Looking for an online class that I can do in a day or two to meet the requirements.

Any help anyone?

Will the course via University of Alaska (Fairbanks) satisfy the requirement or provide an avenue to have a research paper that has been graded?

Appreciate your help. Thanks, ICS

Can you send me a link to the class? Also, can you advise how long it took you and how involved was the class.

Thanks,
