Accountability thread: there are many like it, but this one is mine :)

Oh bummer. It's too bad they don't say that on the degree plan they post publicly. :|

They do. When you click on the Liberal Arts degree, it gives 2 options. The first is the general BALS degree. The second is to take a concentration, and when you click on Humanities, it tells you that you have to take 30cr in the AOS.

I forgot about Tor! Thanks Need to email them now that they're Davar, as these don't show up on the new website. But BALS: Humanities is still d-oable.

I'm not sure how that all works, because Davar doesn't list those courses. They may show up under another name entirely, since it looks like all kinds of strange things are happening with Tor/Coopersmith/Davar.

Please contact them and see what they say, and report back!

Coopersmith (secularcourses.com) has a Medical Hispano-Jewish Poetry course that's 4cr of UL. You could take an Ethics course (not the free one) and have it work for the Ethics requirement, and use the free 2cr Business Ethics course in your AOS, and this extra credit would make up for the missing cr. Just a suggestion if the course is inexpensive, and you're interested in taking it.

It says 30 credits, but it doesn't say 18 upper level credits in Humanities, just that 18 of the 30 have to be upper level in the whole AOS.

I think maybe we're reading it differently. Here's what it says when you click on the Humanities concentration for the BALS:

[TABLE="class: table1, width: 100%"]
[TR]
[TD]Concentration Requirements[/TD]
[TD]Credits[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Students complete 30 credits in the area of study that include at least 15 credits at the 300/400 level and no more than 6 credits at the 100 level. This will include 18 credits of Humanities courses and an additional 12 credits of Liberal Studies courses. Explore our courses.
[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]

This (to me) says that you have to have 15cr of UL in the Humanities AOS.

That's the same thing I quoted upthread. I interpreted it with the area of study being Liberal Studies and the concentration being Humanities, ergo 30 hours of Liberal Studies with 15 of those Liberal Studies hours being upper level, and 18 of the 30 hours being Humanities.

Clearly I interpreted it wrong, since the What If machine has a much better explanation. I wonder why they didn't just post the What If version on the website.

But back to Notgodot's thread, I hope they count a bunch of the Shmoops as upper level.

Not much to report this time around; I'm in something of a holding pattern because TESU is really not in a rush to evaluate transcripts. Their blog says it can take up to 20 working days to evaluate a transcript, but if you put in a ticket after 22 working days, they'll tell you it can take 25-30 working days. Why? Because they can, I guess.

Anyway, At this rate I may not know about my army transcripts until the end of next week, and I won't know whether the Shmoop literature courses count as upper lever until mid-February.

So in order not to waste time, I decided to use my last two free Study.com exams to finish up two things I know I need: Public Speaking and American Government. I've completed all the chapter quizzes for Public Speaking; tomorrow I plan on finishing up the three speeches and the Powerpoint slide that are required for two of them, then I'll take a day to cram and take the exam on Friday. Then I hope to knock out the American Government course over the weekend.

After that, I need to study for the World History TECEP (already paid for) and take another crack at Saylor's Western Political Thought. By that point TESU might have actually evaluated what I've sent them. I hope so, because I don't know what I'll need to take after that until they give me those evaluations.

Grumpy, I am.

So your taking 2 political science classes then POS-110 and POS-299?

So your taking 2 political science classes then POS-110 and POS-299?

Not sure I follow. Public Speaking will cover my oral communication requirement, American Government will fill my civic engagement requirement, World History fills my diversity requirement, and Western Political Thought is one I've already studied for and will fill an electives slot.
