    Talking Finished Information literacy in 43 minutes...

    I don't know what I was expecting from this one. I took the quizes first and kept getting 100% on them. I missed one question on all 5 quizes, so I just took the final and got an 84 on it.
    Then I thought about it.
    I just blew 250 bucks on 43 minutes....
    I can't think of anything that I have done in my life that cost that much per minute with so little joy!
    How long was this thing supposed to take?

    Ha. Maybe college study IS a little over-rated. Congratulations on the credit!

    Default Good score, quick time

    That was a great score in a quick time. I actually took this at a regular college, it was a one credit online course, with a midterm, and a final which you could not finish early. You had weekly assignments etc. I also paid more for the course as well. So you did get some breaks, how would you like to take this course for a whole semester

    Holy crap no way! I started one of the modules and it was a yawn-fest within a few minutes! A whole semester... I think I would have to pass on that one.

    All that hard work for a class that doesn't even award a letter grade!!! All 43 minutes of it.

    It is credit only, they don't give you a transcript grade for it no matter how well you score. Too bad huh?

    Congrats Highlander!

    Sure it was expensive, but at least it's out of the way.
