Tesc : La 495

[peace123]

I am posting a link to another forums website which discusses TESC offering a free course (LA 495) to students with 90 credits, just in case this would help anyone out.

TESC offers free course to Lib Arts students - Distance Learning Discussion Forums

Also if anyone here has gotten an invitation from TESC about this class, please share anymore details on it.

I found this information about the class:
Thomas Edison State College/ Liberal Arts Capstone

In order to be eligible, you must have 90 credits applied toward your BA degree, have a minimum GPA of 2.0 and be an enrolled student.

LIB-495 provides engagement in a student-centered, content-related learning
experience that serves as a summary and synthesis of courses in a student's
undergraduate academic career. Students select an area of interest related to their
academic studies and engage in an activity leading to a research project, creative
project, or applied project reflective of comprehensive knowledge gained in
undergraduate studies and demonstrate their knowledge of the outcomes of the
Bachelor of Arts degree. A capstone presentation and paper culminate the course.

Just received the same invite yesterday. I'm going to pass on this one, but I think it is a great opportunity for someone to save some serious $$$ on a TESC course that will give them credits toward GPA. Just looks like alot of work. I personnally don't have time for something like this, plus I believe it is like a Pilot Program. You give feedback through the levels of the course. I will wait for my capstone requirement in Grad school.
