TEL learning for RA credits

[Pats20]

Are their courses on par with instantcert or Sophia as far as time to complete and work load.

No, TEL Learning is going to be quite a bit more work. Each course has two proctored exams and a number of assignments to complete. You can view each course's syllabus to find out specifics.

These are actual college courses.  There will be more work than Sophia or ICC.

Okay. Thanks.

If you want work to be light, some ASU classes fulfill that requirement. But you have to pay twice as much for them.

[Pats20]

Okay. That’s something to think about. I’ve got all my gen ed completed but I have a few c’s from years ago that I’m Concerned with how it may affect getting into a masters if I choose that route. I’m considering redoing if it doesn’t slow me down on completing my degree. I don’t want to delay graduating (A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush) but I don’t want to ruin my chances of moving on further should I decide. Idk.

If you want to "erase" the Cs, the only real way to do that would be to go back to the same CC and retake those classes. Whether or not C grades will impact your ability to attend graduate school will depend on the school. But they usually look at the most recent credits and not the oldest ones.

[Pats20]

Maybe not erase but eliminate them from my gpa. Let’s say I have 120 credits with 3 c’s. If I retake or take 3 ra courses and get b’s then shouldn’t the b’s replace the c’s in my degree plan . For example let’s say I got a c in geology and I take let’s say physics and get a b. Wouldn’t the physics b count toward the degree and the c geology fall off as unused credits. ?

[rachel83az]

The older credits will still be on your college transcript and can still be seen by the graduate school. Let's say that you got Cs at Smith Community College and then you went and got Bs at ASU. There might be questions raised about why you didn't just go back to Smith.

Also, with the way TESU organizes credits, they give priority to graded credits over ungraded ones. Your C in geology might be bumped out of the science slot by physics but it would then go and be one of your electives, pushing a Sophia (or whatever) course out of the way. The Sophia/SDC/SL/etc. course would then move down to unused.

Ah Gotcha. Thanks a lot.
