My teacher (Rida Zainab) was wonderful
My teacher (Rida Zainab) was wonderful. I enjoyed Developmental Psychology so much because of her. She engaged us and taught us to understand the concept. However Achieve lacks what you really need to pass CLEP exams. The course work, practice assignments, activities and books do not prepare for the in depth questions you get on the actual exam. I had to find additional resources that offer CLEP preparation to get the knowledge I needed to pass. One of which is Modern States, it's free and affiliated with the College Board. They pay your CLEP testing fee and reimburse proctor fees making it no cost to the student. Their material is much more in line with what you will need for the exam.They actually have you write papers and complete assignments that will reinforce what you've learned. Not just give you simple activities and cheat sheets to read but then tell you not to use a memorization techniques. The text books also don't have chapters only three pages long giving you a generalization of the subject at hand. At the end of each lesson they give you a summarization of the chapter and key points to take away with examples throughout . I wish I would've found this before spending my money and entering a contract with Achieve. Let me stress again my teacher and her teaching style was effective but she can only teach with the material Achieve uses which again is not adequate. I would have given 2 stars max if it wasn't for Rida.
