The EU could vote as early as Oct 6th on EU-wide approval of Tesla FSD (Supervised)

In related news, EU regulators are considering allowing rubber tires to replace concrete tires by 2030, which should significantly improve vehicle efficiency.

  Advice needed TESU Biology
Posted by: sg82 - 09-17-2026, 07:38 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (1)

I need some help to complete my TESU Bio degree. After a combination from ACE, my previous college courses on bio (note: outside of the US) and UMPI meant that this is the list I have to complete. 


1. General Biology I with Lab 

2. General Biology II with Lab 

3. Chemistry II with Lab 

4. Cell Biology

5. Organic Chemistry I Lab (1 credit)

6 Organic Chemistry II with Lab 

7. Genetics 


The issue is having already done BIO 3100, given that most of my other bio transferred as 200-level credit. I still need upper level credits. Any good cheap options would be nice. Also, could I get organic chemistry just as a lab?  As of now, my budget is 5000 USD

  JJ_in_NC - CLEPs Info
Posted by: JJ_in_NC - 09-17-2026, 11:47 AM - Forum: Homeschooling General Discussion - Replies (11)

On Monday, I passed the Introductory Sociology CLEP with a 67.

I was really happy about that because I only studied for 4 days. If I'd failed, I'd have had to reconsider my plan to take a bunch of CLEPs and probably would have had to lower my expectations and plan on taking a lot longer to finish my degree.

Here is what I did:

1. I studied InstantCert's flashcards twice.
2. I went through Modern States pretty quickly, although I paid more attention to the questions and the full-length practice test at the end. I got an 83 on that practice test.
3. Finally, I went through the first InstantCert full-length practice test and studied what I got wrong.

Honestly, I did not feel that confident during the test. I took the full 90 minutes. I feel like I'm a pretty good test-taker so I was able to eliminate answer choices for most questions and make educated guesses, but if you're not good at taking tests, then you should probably do more studying than I did.

Thanks to Modern States for the prep and the voucher! It was super easy to apply the voucher on the Collegeboard site and I did not have to pay for anything.

Star My Homeschool Degree Journey
Posted by: JJ_in_NC - 09-17-2026, 06:58 AM - Forum: Homeschooling General Discussion - Replies (3)

Hello,

I have been reading this forum for a couple of months now and appreciate all of the great information here!

I am a 16-year old homeschooler in NC. I did public school all my life but switched to homeschool this year for my junior year.

Instead of following any kind of homeschool curriculum, my plan is to do a bunch of CLEP exams for free using Modern States and have those count as my high school work while at the same time working towards a Bachelors in Computer Science from Thomas Edison.

Here is my rough plan:

CLEPs (45-48 credits):
Introductory Sociology [Civic and Global Leadership]
Introductory Psychology [General Elective]
Human Growth and Development [General Elective]
Introduction to Educational Psychology [General Elective]
Analyzing & Interpreting Literature (6 credits) [Knowledge of Human Cultures]
College Composition with Essay (6 credits) [Intellectual and Practical Skills]
Principles of Marketing [General Elective]
Principles of Management [General Elective]
College Algebra [Intellectual and Practical Skills]
US History I & II (6 credits) [Knowledge of Human Cultures]
Spanish Language (6/9 credits) [General Elective]

TECEPs (24 credits to fulfill TESU's RA requirement):
Marriage and the Family [Knowledge of Human Cultures]
Introduction to Comparative Politics [Civic and Global Leadership]
Computer Concepts and Applications [Maybe Computer Science Electives?]
Learning in the Digital Age
Environmental Ethics [Civic and Global Leadership]
Introduction to Entrepreneurship
Introduction to Business

---------

I still need to figure out 1 more TECEP I will take. For the rest of the requirements, I imagine I will take mainly Study.com courses with some Sophia (maybe for Python programming and Calculus) and a bit of Coursera (a certification or two in something like the AI engineering).

I will be making a separate post soon about my experience with my first CLEP I took on Monday (Introductory Sociology) and then I am scheduled to take Introductory Psychology CLEP today.

  AI Image Edit [Name Redacted] Prompt for Diplomas
Posted by: LevelUP - 09-15-2026, 09:44 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (4)

Here's a quick prompt that can be useful for showing your degree online if you don't want to display your real name.  This should work in free AI image editors such as ChatGPT and Qwen. 

Quote:Edit only the recipient name “Alec Williams” replacing it with “[Name Redacted]” using the same font style. Do not alter, regenerate, sharpen, move, crop, recolor, or change any other part of the image. Preserve all other text, signatures, seal, paper texture, perspective, lighting, and resolution exactly as they appear in the original.

Example from a random college diploma I found on the internet.

Easter Egg

Board of Trustees as it says “Coard of Trustees.” The embarrassing typo lingered in the bottom left corner of nearly 9,200 diplomas for six years – until outgoing school newspaper editor Alec Williams caught it.

  TESU Bachelor Data Analytics after Statistics.com is gone
Posted by: homeschoolmom1 - 09-14-2026, 02:12 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (1)

Statistics.com is no longer a viable platform. However, TESU still has that Bachelor of Data Analytics in their catalog. They have changed to website, and now it states that the courses in the AOS can be obtained through their "Educational Partners". But they don't say what those are.

Is anybody currently enrolled in this program and has any insight? Will PLA be the only option, or is TESU possibly in discussions with potential course providers to make these courses available again?
