TESU Information Literacy Options

[collegechick]

You quoted the alternatives in your post!

YES! I'm aware of that! Just double checking! Sorry to have ruffled your feathers! I keep being fed different information from Thomas Edison whenever I call. They seem clueless to these test out options and keep trying to ram their expensive courses down my throat. So, I'm double and triple checking before buying anymore courses!

I was actually laughing at that one - my feathers weren't ruffled at all.

Yes, TESU is well-known here on this forum as being extremely unhelpful. Seriously, they are the worst of the Big 3 when it comes to customer service. They are also masters of telling different people conflicting information on a regular basis.

One of the things for sure to know - they will not "volunteer" test-out options. You can't ask "what test can I take to fulfill this area?" You have to specifically ask "Will SL's Intro to Religion fulfill the Info Lit Requirement?" or "Can I get Study.com's Labor Relations pre-approved for my BSBA in HR?" Things like that. None of the Big 3 will tell you alternatives that take money away from themselves.

That's why this forum is so great. There are so many people on here who have transferred in a ton of courses and can tell you what will work, better than most of the advisors at TESU (who are mostly morons).

I am also interested in other options out there for Info Lit.

Since I'm interested in a BACJ degree, I cannot use Technical Writing, Criminology, or Research Methods in Social Sciences.

Right now I have Analyzing and Interpreting Literature CLEP on my spreadsheet. Has anyone taken Straighterline Introduction to Religion and would you recommend it?

Is there anything out there that can transfer in as SOS-110: Living in the Information Age?

I have taken Straighterline Introduction to Religion; could have done it in a few days but I really liked it and read the text - took longer but worth it to me, could be done quicker.

As for Analyzing and Interpreting Literature, I did the old version when it was 6cr and it was well worth it but... Back then the time limit was a major pain, there was just so much reading to do overall that there wasn't much time for thinking about the answer. I don't know about the new one, but it's down to only 3cr and I wouldn't do it.

A&I Lit is still 6crs at TESU
