Careful not to create a wrong incentive where universities just churn people through a program that slowly becomes impossible to fail.
Compared to the existing programs where teachers are pressured to pass people because you can't just fail 70% of the students because it makes the passing rate too low for your school?
$400 for course credit? $350 scholarship pricing?? WTAF. I paid $6/unit ($12.50 in 2022 dollars) at my community college back in the day.

>> I'd hate to have my college credits killed by Google once they get bored of this. The good news is that once Google gets bored of this then any college credits earned should still be valid because the credits are backed by ASU. Google is only the delivery and distribution partner. FTA: "This credit can then be used at any of the hundreds of institutions that accept credits from ASU."
> should Unless of course something goes wrong, and you need to contact them for assistance.
Knowledge used to be an honest signal of social status, but it just isn't anymore. It's great though because we have generally more knowledgable people everywhere who can apply incredible tools, and it lifts all boats. However the colleges and universities will need a new way to corner the market on conferring elite status, as I think their v1.0 product of producing graduates merely aligned to "theory" hasn't really worked or produced anything that commands popular respect. Sure, we fear for our jobs, but there is no willingness, and the biggest problem the social studies grads who have taken the helms of institutions have now is suppressing mockery of themselves online. But they're smart people, I'm sure they'll figure something out. May a hundred flowers blossom.
> There is a $25 fee if the learner elects to sign up and begin coursework, and an optional $400 fee to receive college credit for each course. Learners who register before March 7, 2023 will receive special scholarship pricing of $350 per course
That’s pretty steep for European standards, not sure what the value proposition is for us.. but I guess one could use it to get credits and a study visa to graduate? Idk.
This is pretty great, $25 for course work and lectures and you pay $400 for credits only if you pass and like your grade. Universities should be incentivized for you to pass, not just show up.
"Incentivize to pass" the institution that makes and grades the tests - what effect do you think that will have?
