Hi All...

Hope someone can help... I'm slowly working my way through Straighterline's English Comp 1, and have completed my first written assignment (decided to start with the Descriptive Paragraph) but am unsure how to submit it. I've accessed the Smarthinking Essay Center and found the area to submit the paragraph for review (I'll attempt this first), but I'm lost as to WHERE to submit the paragraph for the actual grade.

It states that once you are ready for the assignment to be reviewed by a Straighterline grader, submit your assignment through the course website - again, I've thoroughly searched, but am completely lost...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much!

I am new to this website and I am planning on taking the TECEP exam for BUS 421 Strategic Management. What Advice on what to study and what to expect on the Exam?

Also, by reading some of the postings, Can the Penn foster Class 425 Business management be transfer to Thomas Edison for Bus 421 Strategic management?

Thank you

I'll be honest I'm still a bit lost, but at least I can start testing right away and knock some of these credits out. There was mention of FEMA credits but Sanantone does not list any FEMA exams on this plan. Can someone (Sanantone) fill me in on which of these courses I can use FEMA exams for? IN the Area of Study section how did you know exactly which courses to take Sanantone? It's a pretty expansive list on the TESC BSBA. Can I choose any course I want from the list as long as they give me the 18 credits required? One last thing, I don't see English Comp or other humanities listed on the plan, but they show as being required by TESC. As I said I'm still a tad bit lost so hopefully you guys can help me with clarity.

THanks again!

Hi Everyone! I have been looking through this forum for the last few weeks and found tons of helpful resources, however I am having trouble
developing a degree plan; mostly trying to figure out course equivalences. I am very new to the whole idea of "college", I graduated at 16
being home schooled, maintaining a GPA of 3.55 and am now 20. I would like to start taking CLEP test as well as any other exams that would
help me obtain an "Associates in Science in Technology" and then a "Bachelors of Science in Electrical Engineering Technology" from Excelsior.
After that I would like to be able to obtain an actual degree in Computer/Electronic/Electrical Engineering degree from either the University of
Minnesota or the University of Texas. I also have no SAT or ACT score, and as I implied before I never had the opportunity to be introduced to
the idea of "college" by counsellors or advisors. Any and all advice will help, I have "made plans" and even enrolled in community colleges the
last 3 years with failed attempts to even get started. I really want to go this route as I don't care to ever take a college class until I MUST.

For some reason my account won't let me go to specific feedback.

I am not sure there are rules for posting in a different spot.

I used IC, a dollar text book used and a podcast out of IONA with DR. B.

Now I am off to start studyin for Principles of Marketing in November.

I have the CLEP Official Study Guide and CLEP Principles of Management from REA. Are there any other practice exams that I can take? After failing the exam twice (scored over 50, but my school wants a 60), I want to make sure I am ready.

Please do not suggest the Peterson's ones. While they are great for most CLEPs, they are nothing like the real Principles of Management CLEP.

Hello Gang,

Not sure if this would be helpful to anyone, but here is a link to my note for the Juvenile Delinquency ECE exam. I used the Excelsior Content guideline, to structure my notes and used the following websites to get the information. The notes are not 100% complete, but I would say it is almost 80%. The incomplete parts I marked in red. If anyone has more info/notes for this exam feel free to add onto or edit my word document.

Hope this is of some help for those of you taking the exam! Good luck!

This isn't really about building a computer, mind you (lots of people do that), it's more about reaching the long-awaited milestone of building a completely new computer. Sort of like buying your first brand-new car (one day...)

I've known how to build computers for a long time (went to trade school for it during high school for 2 years), but I've always either had an all-in-one like an iMac back in 2001 or, more recently, a series of laptops since I've lived on a war-ship for six years now and needed the portability. I worked at a computer store for a brief while back in 2004 and sort of cobbled together a makeshift PC tower out of discarded, used components in the back warehouse, but I've always wanted to build my own flashy, stylish rig out of completely new components.

A week or two ago when my wife's laptop croaked, I seized the opportunity to go nuts on newegg.com, taking advantage of their Columbus day sale. I scored a motherboard, power supply, and 8GB of RAM for about $100. Then I bought the DVD-R drive and CPU (it's a Core i5 3570k with unlocked bus multiplier, if anyone speaks techie) a week later. It's not an incredible rig, but it's the fastest computer I've had yet by far, the only one comprised of all-new parts, and definitely the most colorful. I plan to get a GeForce 560 graphics card as well to top it off. But tonight I'm just using it to avoid doing my upper-division Sociology homework by making this post.

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic, my awesome Sony camera got crushed on a carnival ride a few weeks ago

[EDIT] - The keyboard and mouse are, ironically enough, from the previously-mentioned old iMac from 2001... They're the only spares I could dig up haha... Definitely going upgrade those soon, too

Hello all!

I am new to this forum, but I've been reading info for a few weeks. I'm thinking about completing my BA in NS/M from TESC, but I haven't applied yet. I am still taking some classes at my CC right now. I didn't know if TESC would include my classes that I haven't finished in my advisement report of not, does anyone know if they would include them? I have quite a few credits complete and I'm trying to figure out how they would apply at TESC and what other credits I would need. Any opinions or feedback would be great! Thank you!
