Just finishing Cultural Connections Course.......Should I CLEP Humanities?

[erinp88]

Hi everyone, I am coming to an end of an accelerated Cultural Connections course for 3 credits. I need 6 more credits of Humanities. I don't mind interpreting artwork/music, but I can't stand the interpretation of literature. With additional preparation, would it be possible to prepare for the Humanities exam in a few weeks? I'm just wondering with having a good base right now, if this might be a smart option.

If I could kindly have your thoughts..........

Thanks,
Erin

Dear me, I feel just the opposite! But only concerning artwork...which is my challenge in studying for the Humanities exam (which I will be taking a week from Friday). I love music, and literature is fine, though I must note that there is more name recognition than interpretation on the test.

With additional preparation, would it be possible to prepare for the Humanities exam in a few weeks? I'm just wondering with having a good base right now, if this might be a smart option.

Indeed, that is what CLEP-ing all about! -- getting credit for the information we either already have or acquire outside of the classroom. I think a few weeks is plenty of time, particularly considering the feel for this sort of material you already have. (It's pretty much the position I'm in.)
