Re: how do one watch the webinars class
Always log in early and run the test on your computer to make sure there are no issues that need fixing. Good luck!

Re: Is Microsoft Word 2010 okay to use for the graded project or do i need to upgrade to 2016?
I'm in the same boat! I've got the 2010 version, completed my project to the best of my ability, and submitted it only to find out today that it was returned! ugh! I'm going to try to contact my instructor. Thanks for the tip.
Re: PFHS Geofilter (Snapchat)
We do have Snapchat geofilters for special occasions, such as this past graduation as Ariel mentioned. Since geofilters need to be set to a specific location and our students are from all across the globe, we don't have recurring filters set up. Due to copyright concerns and the cost that snapchat charges to create and post a filter, we don't recommend students do that on their own with the Penn Foster logo. It can also lead to confusion for other students. But, I love that you want to get creative! Did you have any particular ideas in mind for filters you'd like to see? We love to hear what our students think! If you'd like, please feel free to send me a direct message and we can discuss your ideas.
I look forward to talking to you more about this!

Will I be getting materials for Information Literacy or is it all online?
I just finished finished my first course and am not sure if Information Literacy will have booklets mailed out like the previous course or if it is all online.
Re: Will I be getting materials for Information Literacy or is it all online?
The resources for Information Literacy are all online. No resources will be shipped to you. Best of luck!
Re: I only missed one question on my retake exam and it's saying I only received 70%. Anyone know why?
Preparing yourself prior to exam is important. Don't be in hurry.
Re: I only missed one question on my retake exam and it's saying I only received 70%. Anyone know why?
That is generally true, but even if you got all the questions right, 70% is highest score for retake on a college exam.

Re: I only missed one question on my retake exam and it's saying I only received 70%. Anyone know why?
Hello, Dakota!
You can find the following information on page 20 of the Penn Foster Student Handbook:
For multiple choice exams taken on or after December 15, 2016, students earning a passing score on the first attempt are not eligible for a retake. If the first attempt score is failing (below 70%), students have the option to retake the exam. Students are provided with a new retake exam. Students submit the ENTIRE retake exam online, and it must be submitted within 1 to 30 days of the initial submission, or the first attempt will become the final grade.
The highest score a student can earn on a retake exam is 70%. If a student scores below 70% on the retake exam, the student will earn the higher of the two scores. This policy will go into effect for all open exams on a student’s record as of December 15, 2016. For all other exams (subjective, non-multiple choice exams), retakes are required for a failed first attempt, and not offered if the exam was passed. The highest score a student can earn on a retake exam is 70%.
The retake grade becomes the final grade. Retakes on proctored exams are only required if the course grade is failing. Each program may contain one or more practical exercises, projects, or externships that must be successfully completed in order to meet the requirements for graduation. Some of these may be graded on a pass/fail basis.
Keep up the great work you are doing!

Backordered Textbook
My music appreciation book is back ordered and I have a little over a month to complete my study program before it expires. Do you have any idea how long it will take to receive my textbook?
Thanks for the help!

Program & Course Material Text
Does anyone know if there is an option or setting to have the text material read to me through the PennFoster site? I am more of an auditory learner and it would be wonderful to have the ability to have the text material read to me.

Re: Physics Course?
I would like to have an advice whether should I take this course or not
because I am about to complete my program with Spanish being my last
elective. My plan to enter college is around next year January. I am
interested in taking the course of Computer Science when I go there but
most of the colleges I checked require Physics in their subject
requirements for the course. Is Physical Science just as enough of learning
Physics or do I need to take a standalone course just to have a deeper
understanding of the subject? Your advice will be kindly appreciated.
