Do we have a list somewhere of what general ed requirements folks have had the various credits from Study.com, Schmoop, SL, etc. transferred in as?
At this point, it's looking like I'll be doing Ashford U., and their general ed requirements are a little weird. I'm tentatively looking at:
Applied Ethics competency - not sure yet
Critical Thinking competency - not sure yet (critical thinking is a strong point for me, so I'm looking for cheap/easy, but not sure they'll take a TECEP)
Communications III competency (oral communication or interpersonal communication) - Public Speaking, Study.com
History - not sure; maybe a history class or Intro to World Religions, Study.com (I'm not sure if World Religions will count as history, but it sounds more interesting than a history survey course.)
Political Science - American Government, Study.com
sociology requirement (not a general ed & not exactly a major req., but prereq. for a required course in my major): Sociology 101, Study.com or Saylor
Information Technology competency - Introduction to Computing, Study.com (maybe? or at Saylor? Or some other option)
Math competency - Principles of Statistics, Saylor
"Cultural & Aesthetic Awareness" - Literature in the Media, Schmoop
Literature - The Bible as Literature, Schmoop
Humanities - ??
Communications I & II - (Same as English Comp I & II -- I'm trying to figure out how best to get out of this. I actually already challenged both of these courses for credit for my AAS, but Ashford won't transfer them because they're "test" credits. )
If anyone has any words of warning about courses I've listed that are really awful or you already know won't apply where I'm hoping they will, etc., I'm all ears. Or, conversely, any of these that are particularly quick & easy to pass if you're already familiar with the subject.
