My Journey: TESU BSBA

[dfrecore]

I can kinda feel ya. I've got the 2 free Study.com's I need to take this month, plus I'd like to do 3 or 4 Davars, and then there's the Strategic Management test in a few weeks. I couldn't do this 1st EdX DE course. Maybe the 2nd one?

Congrats on getting Organizational Behavior done.

You can't take the 2nd/3rd EdX courses unless you've completed the 1st one. So you'll have to wait until it comes up again, or find another series of courses to take somewhere else.

I asked questions in the Davar $99 thread and don't have answers, so I may have to ask TESU. I did Organizational Behavior at Davar. I am not doing GM or Ops Man, but I thought it would be easy and give me an idea of what Davar exams are like. I felt the 10 "short essay" questions were tiring... to do all 10 in a row. Davar does allow you to skip around, it seems, unlike the TECEPs. I feel less worried about the TECEP essays after having experienced a Davar exam.

That's not a bad idea, to take a Davar as a precursor to a TECEP.

Also, Org Behavior will also count as a Psych course, so will go up in Knowledge of Human Cultures or Gen Ed Electives.

I am also taking an easier TECEP which has essays before the Strategic Mgmt one I feel like their essays might still be harder than Davar's.

Oh, good

Thanks. I really wanted to knock out another Davar exam today, because I knew I could, but I did the responsible thing instead: I worked on more Diff Eq. I could have worked on Strategic Mgmt, which I need to do, but the Diff Eq is the thing that takes me the most effort.

I'm guessing that the module before the midterm is going to be longer and harder, because they are only releasing 1 module that week instead of 2. Then a couple weeks after the midterm, there's a week with 3 modules. Even if they are shorter ones, I don't like that. Module 9 is coming out soon, and I am almost done with module 3.

I wanted to give up a few more times. I wish there was a cheap way to take Discrete Math instead, or maybe Linear Algebra. I know some people think that one or both are harder than Diff Eq, but they wouldn't be for me.

As I posted in another thread, I wish I had the time to take something fun like Meterology and Earth Science at Davar. I am also curious about taking some other business classes, mostly Advanced Strategic Mgmt, but I don't think I can spend the time, without having my cc class grade(s) suffer.

I am still a little confused about GPA and transcripts. I was going to post a thread to ask about this, but I worked on the EdX course instead

I am also worried about choosing what cheap online school to attend this fall, and what to take. I would like to put it off until July, and I might, but I believe that I am more likely to get in-state financial aid if I act quicker. However, I am still really uncertain if I want to take A&P I and II courses with labs or not. I am also torn about taking Interpersonal Communication or Public Speaking, or other nursing prereqs.

Well that thoroughly sucks.

I couldn't find where they say that...plus, with the option to take the class for free, without the verified certificate option, I'm pretty sure anyone can take it anytime it's live regardless of whether they took a previous section. If you mean that they have to take them in order, so they would have the background material, that makes sense...but all 3 classes total only equal one term of coursework out in the "real world"...so I'm not sure it would be that hard to catch up, if someone has the requisite math background (calc 1, part of calc 2).

I am motivated to finish what I started with the cc courses and EdX, and the BSBA degree overall, but I am having some trouble with feeling like the plan will lead to anything good in my future. This is because of my health and what I wrote about in my Unsure thread.

I also feel like finishing around March (for June graduation) is pretty far away. It feels better to finish in January, but I don't think I can if I take the harder cc courses in the fall.

[Ideas]

I wish I had more time. Now I think I'd like to do 5 more Davar (instead of CLEP and Saylor), in addition to the 3-4 more I already wanted to do. It seems unlikely I can fit this many in, but I don't want to the waste the opportunity.

Diff Eq has been taking up so much of my time. To update what I said about the Diff Eq class, I think I've only been struggling because of my Calc I and II being weak.

I am frustrated that my speed and some of my choices of courses/degrees are limited because of finances.

[Ideas]

I'm going to try to complete 2 Davar exams today.

To update what I said before, I think I am mostly struggling in Diff Eq because of being weak in Calc I and II. I can make it through this class, but I am not sure about the second and third classes.

I am feeling much better about the cc classes. One class is a lot more work than I expected, and two are more work, but one is easier than I expected.
