Not arts, but I'm in intro to sociology.

How is intro to sociology so far? I hope to take it in the fall.

WOSC Intro to Soc, is a breeze so far. Only 4 weeks long, very straight forward, papers are like 2 pages, quizzes aren't bad either.

Is anyone concerned that the college is on probation and our 4 week classes won't be accepted?

msteeleart · Apr 29, 2013

Unfortunately it is because athletes abused the 10 day classes that they are on probation: http://m.newsok.com/western-oklahoma-state-college-on-probation-after-review-of-online-courses/article/3790477

Msteeleart,

Are you enrolled in a 4th 4 week class?

msteeleart · Apr 29, 2013

No, but I have 3 classes I need and I was hoping to do them there.

I don't understand why they are saying the classes weren't intense enough because another person on this forum did the 10 day classes and she said they were intense.

I took cultural anthro when it was a 10 day course. It was anything but minimal time and effort. I couldn't score higher than a high 70 on the tests and there were a lot of discussions and papers. All I kept thinking about was the athletes that said they were taking the class to boost their GPA and I was killing myself and struggling. I did get an A but it was not easy. I read every word of the text and watched every video for the class. If the athletes though those classes were easy, they must have known some secret that I didn't because I worked as hard in that class as I did in the nursing classes. I often wonder how the athletes in my class ended up doing. Maybe those 19 year old brains work better than this old AARP eligible brain;-)

Why would you not think your 4 week class would not be accepted? Just because a college is on probation doesn't mean they won't accept the class. Now if they had lost their accreditation that would be another story Also University Of Phoenix, which Is one of the biggest 'for profit' online schools might be place on probation also. http://chronicle.com/article/U-of-Phoenix-Expects/137565/

I took 2 classes their last December in the 10 day intercession and busted my butt doing so. Labor intensive to say the least!

Here is what is on their website which is why I am questioning whether OU will accept the transfer.

What if I am already enrolled in a 4 week online course for this semester? Will I be able to take my course?
