Easiest TESU course

[mysonx3]

I have been wondering about asking this question for myself, as I am looking for another course to take alongside my Capstone this fall, but with the recent changes incentivizing a "16 credits in a term" approach at TESU, I thought this question was now more generally applicable.

What are the easiest TESU courses? I know the new cornerstone (SOS-110) has the reputation of being an easy A. What others?

Hahaha, I want to take 16 credits as well. So after reading this thread, I have an idea of some of the easier courses available at TESU to see if I can get the 16 credits for "easy" courses along with the Capstone.

The flat rate tuition is for 10 or more credits a term.

The residency wavier is for 16 credits or more total at TESU. It sounds like from prior threads you already took/are taking some TESU courses how many credits do you have already? You don't need to take 16 in a term to avoid the waiver. If you already have prior TESU credit it just needs to equal 16 credits to avoid the wavier. If you want the flat rate you just have to register for at least ten credits a term. The capstone is 3 so that leaves 7 more credits to get the flat rate.

If you just need one or two credits I know there is a medical terminology course that's only one credit.

Easy really depends on your work experience and life experiences.

But, I think all lower level social science, history, English etc would be easy or if you're good with tech one of the "IT oriented" courses would be easy.

I've heard people say the 1cr Jane Austen course is easy, for me personally I think all the 100 and 200 level CJ courses are easy, Forensic Science, Intro to CJ etc were very easy for me, but I am a cop so it's second nature stuff.

If you need generic courses to fit into free electives just target the LL social science and communication courses, I think a lot of them are common knowledge and you won't feel overwhelmed. If I had to choose any courses to do to make up 16 credits from TESU along with the cornerstone and capstone.

Cornerstone
Capstone
Communication Theory COM-100
Introduction to Photography PHO-101 or Computer Concepts and Applications CIS-107
Introduction to Sociology SOC-101
Jane Austen ENG-298

There is no way you won't be able to handle such a load.

@mysonx3 what degree are you working toward again?

Don't forget the PLA courses.

In my case, I won't be using this info to take 16 credits in a term. I already have 10, so I'll be taking the Capstone and one other class. However, the info that will help me pick a class (which are the easiest) will also be applicable to other people who intend to take 16 in a term.

I'm pursuing History/Psychology double-major, however the course I take doesn't need to satisfy any of those requirements, so I can take whatever class is easiest so that I can pad my GPA and focus on the Capstone that term.

That is what I thought because I figured you had had already taken social psych and histrological methods from prior threads and the old 1 credit cornerstone.

Do you have any more AOS courses left? Why not just an AOS course? A good amount of pysch courses are available as e pack and I believe both history and psych are guided study as well. That doesn't seem too difficult especially if you have so many courses under your belt with all the prior knowledge.

mysonx3, I don't recall, did you take the TES-100? do you already have Cornerstone course under your belt? If not, then that's the course you need. If you do, there are others that's easy such as the BIO-310 Man's Best Friend - Biology & Behavior of Dogs. OR, I would do an Upper Level course that is required for your either of your Majors.

In addition to meeting the degree requirements, I also need to get to 60 graded credits for my grad school aspirations. Since I didn't know what I was doing at the start, that's going to end up more than filling up my AOS courses. So I've got two spots that are "extra", one of which has to be at TESU to avoid the residency waiver.

TES-100 is in his list of courses in the signature. Which probably needs to be updated as it doesn't have close to 60 graded credits
