Taking a class

If i choose to take a class through excelsior instead of just testing out, how do the work the final exams? Do you still have to pay and go to a testing center and take a test? Or is the final administered via online at home computer? Or is there no final at all and your grade is based on the semesters course work and papers/quizzes completed?

Hi- I took the class for lifespan 1, the 8 week course. You have quizzes and exams (midterm, and final) which are timed, and you take it at home (you don't get a lot of time, so you must know the material). there was a paper due at the 6th week I believe. There is discussion groups that you have to participate in, and that was the easiest percentage you can get just for participating. Everything has percentages to it, so if you do bad on an exam, at least you can make it up in other areas. It seems like a lot of work, but it kept me disciplined, and since I knew I had deadlines, I kept on top of it. I did this while working full time. I personally loved the class, I tested out the rest of the theory exams. Hope this info helps
