Need an UL English course? Harvard has one cheap!

[cookderosa]

I registered for The City from Whitman to Hip Hop.  So, it's $200 for graduate level, but you can choose undergrad if you want - still $200.  You have to pay an application fee of $50.  The other course is showing at full cost $3300 (grad) so I didn't select it.

To do the certificate, you would have to bring in 2 from social science taken 2015 or newer, my previous HES course in Psychology is too old (boo) but I probably will not decide just yet.  I am planning to grab the last 2 this fall (assuming I don't hate poetry too much) and decide after that.  EVEN IF I decide to get a cert, I'll likely still grab a 4th English so I can add that to my teaching credential... but now we're getting in to some big money for a "nice to have."  

It's worth pointing out that the Whitman summer course does NOT HAVE TEXTBOOKS.  All of the content is provided via pdf.  That's a huge bonus, since my previous book lists for HES courses has been heavy and expensive.

Is it the same course with the same work expectations for the UL and grad versions of this course? Just curious as my son may need an UL English course? He has an associate degree and UL English classes which include writing intensive classes, but they still are saying they will require that he takes a LL English Comp 2 course for his bachelor degree (Excelsior). Does anyone know of any UL Ethics or English comp equivalent courses, as it seems silly to take a LL Eng comp course at this point in his degree process. Or how hard are the StraigherLine or other exams for Eng Comp2? He has reading and writing disabilities (Dyslexia & Dysgraphia spectrums) but has done well in his online classes in English, but he struggles in retaining details so I'm not sure how he'd do with the exams. Are the Eng comp 2 exams proctored? Or would they be open book?

In the courses that I've taken before, there have been additional writing requirements for grad students, I expect the same.

This couse for sure will not count as Comp 2. I would suggest starting a new thread and asking to the group, your question will get lost in this thread since it will probably only be seen by a few people unless you start a new question.

Separately, Harvard does not let high school students enroll in summer sessions unless it's specifically their secondary program. That doesn't apply to fall/spring. You didn't say that your son was in high school, just throwing that in there.

So are all of these $200 Harvard poetry courses UL? Regardless of if you do graduate or undergraduate?

you can double check with TESU, however, in the past, if you took a graduate level course, it would count as undergrad UL. Still, no one here has used these courses for that- so get it preapproved if it's a deal breaker.
