I have only been getting milestone exam scores in the Business Law course in the 70s range, it is quite obvious I am just not good at law.
And usually in the Touchstones that I fail and have to redo, it was because I felt the essay instructions are too vague. I tend to need examples of what they want so that the response is written in my own words. Because if not, I start formulating over 50 possibilities that are all wrong.

Once I know exactly what they want, I do very well. I also got a flat 0 for spelling and punctuation. I'll go read my failed Touchstone again to see if there was a typo I missed, but I am surprised I'd get a flat 0. I would think you needed to flat out write incoherent gibberish to score a 0 in spelling.
I can't redo the touchstone because it was submitted as it is despite the horrifyingly low score, so obviously I didn’t get the minimum 70% to pass.
Should I request email to let me retake the touchstone in the hopes I somehow discover what it is they are asking that isn't to use better legal references in APA 7 format?
Or should I count my losses and drop out of the course? It is obvious I won't do much better redoing the touchstone, I am just not good at law courses. I barely passed Law in highschool. I did better taking calculus and I am horribly bad at math.

Hello,
I'm 42 years old but I want to give a shot and try to get and undergraduate degree in engineer.
I'm looking online for some free/cheap solution but It's hard.
Honestly speaking my finance are modest and I can not afford big tution fees so I'm looking for something affordable.
But I'm looking also for something useful and should be not a waste of time.
Currently I'm living in Italy (I found out some solution like Uninettuno) but I was wondering if there are others alternative.
Any good suggestion?
Thanks.
Luca

Are there any services like Sophia etc. that offer credits accepted by UK universities?

Or does anyone have any experience with credit transfer with one of these to a UK degree?

I was looking at doing the equivalent of 240 UK credits then doing the final 120 credits with the Open University to keep costs down, however it seems the Open Uni only do credit transfer on US credits if its a qualification rather than just credits:

Our kids are 2 years apart but in back-to-back grades. Here's why we chose to retain one and not the other.
Link: https://www.businessinsider.com/retainin...des-2024-8

For me, I've got two kids as well, and they're 18-19 months apart (April 2012 & Oct 2013) and are in back-to-back grades as well.  They went to summer school together and are in the same grades (multi-grade clusters).  They're really close... It's much better than my older sister and I, we are born 14-15 months apart and 1 grade year difference...

My sister and I were in back-to-back grades as well, we had to really ask for 2 years difference but failed as we're only 14-15 months apart.  Birth year was 2 diff (Nov 75 vs Mar 77), technically we should be 2 grades apart even though we're closer in age   due to when we were born, but because my sister came late into the education system than I, she's only 1 grade higher... 

I think it's a good idea to have planned parenting, not just for yourself and SO, but for your kids.   Some kids who are closer in age are much better 'tight nit'.  My younger sister who is 6 years younger, we're not as close, even though we have friends who are bro or sis with my other sister or I and see each other often, we don't relate too much.

It's so fun yet so weird as my sisters have classmates who have bros or sisters in my grade, and vice versa, we like to all hang out together and sometimes it's interesting and other times it's overwhelming or underwhelming, it's either you can relate to them or not.  Maybe it's me... If I had to do planned parenting again, I would do the same thing...

My older child is great at school, yet my younger child is struggling, I don't think we will retain them for that one year though.  We're going to continue with extra tutoring in specific subjects and extra curriculars including arts, music, sports, etc.  I speak with my kids and ask them how they feel and what they want to take, we decide together...

I believe the TECEP counts toward the necessary 30 RA credits but I cannot find it anywhere on TESU's website or in this forum.  I have been searching for hours.  If you find the link at TESU, I would be very appreciative.

Thank you!

The McCoy School of Business at Texas State University is planning to offer the DBA in Fall 2025.

I’ve been following all the advice here for almost a year, and I have to say, this feels like such a wonderful community with so many helpful people! I never imagined something like this was possible before. 

Now I had my first post here as I’d really appreciate some help with planning my degree, along with any recommendations for great resources, universities, or providers. Thanks a mil!

Timeline:
a bit complicated as our employer reimburse 2000 euro only before 31 January every year. So short term I'm looking for any degree/certificate that are from accredited university. (i.e. I have to complete micro-creds, partial, or full courses before 31 Jan, 2025) Long term looking for a master degree for two to three years to finish, like OMSCS so I can use around $2500 for three years

Tuition assistance/reimbursement: 2000 Euro / 2500 USD per year, any degree/certs from accredited university.

some degrees that I'm researching now:

Purdue Global BSc in IT/cybersecurity (software programming concentration) 
UMPI BLS in Project Management with MIS 
micro creds from Oxford https://www.conted.ox.ac.uk/about/online-courses 
micro creds from Open University https://www.futurelearn.com/microcredent...operations

OMSCS - HCI route, applied but no decision yet for Jan 2025 entry

I'd also like to use the reimbursement on some transferable credits, but not sure if there's any good one that's from accredited university.

Thanks in advance!

Hey all, I'm starting September 1st so I thought I would journal how the school is, how the courses are, and general insight into that $900 NA accredited MLM degree. So far they've been great. Very communicative, no hassles, just an easy application with some followup questions and then acceptance. I'm in contact with two people - Laurie the Admissions Director and Cathy the VP of Operations and Registrar.

I am only doing one course for the first term because I do not graduate from my other Master's degree until May, however for Spring term I will have more courses because all I have left to do is defend my thesis which I already have completed.

I will update this once I'm logged in and registered and will let everyone know how it goes from there.

Mod edit: Patten Masters Leadership & Management is here: $900 Patten Masters
Additionally, later posts in this thread show that these Patten bachelor's degrees are more expensive than they appeared as of this original post.

Off topic but relevant. Patten University's two DEAC bachelor's degrees are only $1,350 total!
