Ethics thru EC????

[Firemedic7]

Hi All-

I am about half way thru my ADN at EC and found out that I need another Humanities class. I looked at the CLEP classes and talked to EC about their Ethics class. Does anyone have any experience with either? EC said that Ethics would go towards my BSN if I ever went that route but I'm not sure which route to go.

Any advice appreciated

I took Ethics through Regents/Excelsior. It was the worst test. It was the only one that took me the entire allotted time. I did get a B but would have been thrilled to pieces with a C. I think the reason it was so hard is because there is nothing "black and white" to study. Everything and every question was so abstract. Almost like a personal opinion even though it was multiple choice. It was the last test I took. Had I to do it all over again I would have done it first. I bought the Ethics study materials from Regents/Excelsior and they really really sux'd. I don't know about the for-profits publishers study guides. I used a book I found at Books-a-million. It wasn't even a big book, rather small actually. I'll see if I can locate it and get back to you.

Here's the Ethics book I used "The Idiots Guide to Understanding Ethics"

I should have been able to remember that title. I also used these websites:

What books did you get to find the information ?

I CLEPped Analyzing/Interpreting Lit for 6 credit hrs of Humanities. If your reading comprehension is good, then you might want to consider it. It was not that hard at all, and it saved me some cash & time.
