Haven't taken those courses specifically, but I am currently taking an UL Math course through TESU and I completed SOS-110. The entire term's work is posted the first week of class, and the UL Math course is just like SOS-110 in terms of pace, with discussions and assignments due on an almost weekly basis (2-3 weeks had no assignments).

I see in your signature you have 15 credits are TESU. Are you aware that by just adding one more credit you won't have to pay the waiver fee of $2,800. They is a Jane Austen course, medical terminology, lab science and pla all are 1 credit courses you can do.

Yeah I do. That list isn't final, still planning to add/switch out courses depending on how everything goes.

I took the Bio & Behavior of Dogs from TESU. I put a review of it here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-The-official-guide-to-courses-from-the-Big-Three-COSC-TESU-Excelsior

but if you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them.

Can you tell me about the difficulty of the Math Modeling course?  I'm considering taking that course in October and would really like to know how much work/effort/time will be involved.  Also, the grading...  Any knowledge?

Well, I only started the course two weeks ago, so I can't say much. So far, the only things due have been the forums, with one written assignment due tomorrow which hasn't been that bad either. Personally, it hasn't been too rough, but my background knowledge in math modeling is fairly decent so I may be a little biased?

I'll update you when I receive the first grade!

I am in my third year at TESU and currently enrolled in a 6 credit class Environmental Sustainability. I try to take two classes at once but sometimes I have to just take one. You have to budget your time wisely because they are mentors not teachers. They are there to answer questions or provide feedback. If you can do the work yourself and mostly work independent, then it is the way to go. If you are active duty, then you have tuition assistance and can take classes at will. If you are using post 9-11 then you have to take two classes or one 6 credit class to get partial BAH.
