So I’ve never taken their classes but my roommate did and literally every exam or every test is posted online-She googled it and they would maybe be different by like 2-3 questions .. so she was super annoyed by that
Where there's a will, there's a way! I would say, though, that it's impossible to cheat like that when it comes to showing your work (such as with using chemistry formulas).
I have to take anatomy and physiology (one and two) to transfer into the nursing school at my university. I’m so intimidated and nervous to start 🥲. Do you have any tips and advice?
im planning to take psyc140 (childlife development) through portage and the idea of a lockdown browser and showing everything around you stresses me out im nervous to do it now
@@NurseAbby thank you! i’m thinking of going to a local library or something for a private room since my room has too much going on and i’m worried of being accused. i also have a macbook and the camera is built in so not sure how that will work with showing everything around? sorry for the questions i just want someone who took courses with them opinions before i purchase the course
Good question. I don’t know if every class on Portage has this rule but I keep seeing that you can retake ONE chapter test before the final if you got less than 70% correct and want to retake it. I think that's a pretty nice policy. You see each grade so quickly that it is always easy to know how you are doing in the class. If your grades aren't good you can slow down and work at a pace that is better for you.
@@NurseAbby Hello Abby, Iam currently taking two courses at portage learning. I have a problem with one course, everytime I take a test, the teacher told me that my test wasn't recorded, my connection was bad, how can I verify this information , in my end I always have good connection. what do you think I should do in that case.
Thank you so much for showing how the webcam thing works! I appreciate your video and your time you spent explaining this to us.

You still have to meMorize the answers to the questions but it’s still like cheating her lol
That is the only thing that is helping some of us!

Does portage learning record your screen during the exam; or just yourself through webcam and microphone?
That's correct. But it also uses Lockdown Browser, so you can't change tabs/windows anyway.
I just signed up for portage and Im starting my class soon. Do you have to pay for the lockdown browser or did it come with the course?
It's free 👍
Any word from elmhurst college ?? Since the update video
Got word that portage finally got them a copy of my transcripts for my first two classes.... I should be hearing officially any day now!

Watch RUclips videos on anatomy, and Picmonics can be helpful for A&P. Lots of memorization, but you can do it!
Get all the help you need. Portage is tough.
Hey I just have a question, how long does it take for them to grade a test?
Depends on the professor, but mine were all graded pretty quick. I think always within two business days.

I broke the rules on accident and they gave me a second chance. They will tell you if you need to change something. You can do it 👍

I want to do algebra, do they allow a whiteboard or how do they let you take notes?
During a test you can use a blank piece of paper for scrap paper (you show them the front and back)
Can you retake if you fail?

Yes
Who did you have for general Chem?
I took it through Portage, and an older gentleman taught the class. I called him my Chemistry Grandpa
how long does it take u to finish a class with them?
It took me about 2 months per class, but it's at your own pace.
nah I was looking down at my notes and the professor suspect i was cheating
Hope it worked out ok!
