TESU Introduces Accelerated Courses (4-week format)

[LevelUP]

If you are a CS major, that means you may only have to complete the capstone and could be done in just four weeks.

can you tell which tecep courses are super easy ?

If you view the description of the TECEP exam, you’ll find practice questions. If you can score high on those practice questions, then that’s a major clue that the exam will be easy for you.

As far as the 48 hours/week thing, I'm assuming that the course material is substantially the same. For Info Literacy, I knocked out almost all of the assignments in the first 10 days or so of the 12 week semester when I took it. Some of them I had to wait to turn in, as the assignments weren't yet open to turn in at the beginning of the semester, but I should think that if one is diligent and efficient, it won't take anywhere near 48 hours/wk for that class.

Now the Capstone on the other hand... offering that in 4 week format could be pretty crazy. I doubt I would have been able to crank out the quality of capstone that Dr. Black was expecting in 4 weeks.

I just wrapped up my coursework for SOS-1100. It was quite a bit of work but as you said definitely not 48 hours a week. 7 written assignment, 7 reflections, and a 4 part final project. (1 of which is just a topic selection. And, there are NO forum discussions which I get the need for in online classes but I find tedious at best. 

10 days of work sounds about right, It definitely felt condensed and with work couldn't stay too far ahead with the schedule but I ended up being done about 5 days early. I agree a capstone but be overly challenging in 4 weeks.

Is this possible? (5 classes for the flat rate). Take two classes the first 4 weeks, Two for the next 4 weeks and for the last 4 weeks take the capstone but ask for the 8 weeks extension? Would the extension be considered none flat rate?
