First off guys, thanks for the sheer tonnage of information on this website. Everybody here seems genuinely interested in helping the new people out (which is not always the case), and after taking a good chunk of time of reading through it, I feel that much more knowledgeable about what I'm about to undertake.
Using the resources I've found here and in the Wiki (Again, fantastic), I think I've created a comprehensive degree plan for me to follow. I was hoping you guys could take a look and see any blatant issues that I need to correct.
It is as follows:
General Requirements
English Comp. 6
CLEP English Comp. 6
College Level Math 3
ALEKS College Algebra 3
Intellectual and Practical Skills 6
ALEKS Precalculus 3
ALEKS Intermediate Algebra 3
Humanities 3
CLEP Analyzing and Interpreting Lit. 6
Social Sciences 3
CLEP Social Sciences and History 6*
Natural Sciences 3
CLEP Natural Sciences 6*

Option 1: History

CLEP Western Civi. I 3
CLEP Western Civi. II 3
American History I&II 6
CLEP American History I 3
CLEP American History II 3
Non Western History 3
DSST Introduction to the ME 3
Liberal Arts Capstone 3
TESC Capstone 3
History Electives 15
DSST Cont. Western Europe 3
TESC War and US Society 3
DSST Vietnam War 3
DSST Soviet Union 3
ECE World Conflicts 3
And now, on to the my questions and worries. I was trying to utilize ALEKS with what I could (Because at 20 dollars a month, how couldn't you), so I used College Algebra, Intermediate Algebra and Precalculus. From what I've been reading, this seems like they don't overlap, but I just wanted to put that out there to make sure.
As it seems, my major, History, seems to be one of the easier ones to complete, but I couldn't seem to find another alternative method for the last 3 UL History course. I'm a busy guy with a demanding job, so I'd like to avoid it if I could. Obviously, I have to sit for the Capstone anyways, but I figured if anybody had any experiences with that last UL, would they be willing to share?
Finally, and my most apprehensive, is the 27 Free electives that I had left off. From the TESC website and this forum, I didn't see any real guidelines on what I can put here, which makes me assume that as long as it doesn't duplicate what I already have up on the board, they would fit (But we all know where assuming gets you). I'm thinking about filling it out with Saylor classes (because again, at 25 dollars a class, you can't really argue with it), but any suggestions on the contrary would obviously be helpful.
Again, thanks to anybody willing to take the time to look it over. You guys rock!
