TESC BA Mathematics completed coursework

It would be wonderful if you could stop over to the wiki site and post your plan there as well. Folks can easily figure out the current Gen Ed requirements, it's the area of study that is most important; at least in my opinion.

Thank you! I will definitely head over there and contribute as much as I can. I know there have been some changes regarding the physics requirement over the course of the past year and I'll make sure to include that new bit of info.

Hi all,
Long time lurker, first time poster. This forum really helped me out in the last year and I wanted to give a little back. I just finished my Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics at TESC and wanted to share my combination of courses that led to success. I started in September of last year with my first ALEKS courses, switched over to Straighterline and Texas Engineering Extension Service shortly afterwards, and then enrolled in TESC for the December 2014 term. I managed to punch out a big portion of the required coursework with high school Advanced Placement courses, ALEKS, SL, and TEEX. I finished my final course (Liberal Arts Capstone) at the end of August and am scheduled to graduate December of this year.
Here is the academic evaluation that led to my degree. I hope that it will help future mathematics students help decide for or against TESC. I wrote the equivalent credit course source that transferred to TESC at the end of each line.

When you did your calc, what study tools did you use if any?
I'm trying to prep for calc for the spring semester. Using MIT opencoarseware to get a head start.

Very impressed at what you accomplished.
