No hand in written assignments, just the usual Shmoop multiple choice quizzes and multiple choice final.

Thank you!

Good luck to your son. I'm sure he can do it with your help.

Some others I don’t remember seeing anyone else post transfer results on yet:
• Shmoop Professional Writing: ENG-306 Inter. Tech. Wrtg. & Prof. Wt."
If Shmoop Professional Writing is coming in as ENG-306 Inter. Tech. Wrtg. & Prof. Wt. will this cover the Information Literacy requirement at TESU? I recall seeing here on the forum that Technical Writing would meet that requirement.

TESU has very specific courses that satisfy the Information Literacy requirement. It doesn't look like ENG 306 will work for that. However, Study.com's Psychology 105: Research Methods in Psychology will work as it transfers in as PSY-322: Experimental Psychology.
Information Literacy
- HIS-356: War and American Society
- LIT-301: Advanced American Literature I
- LIT-302: Advanced American Literature II
- LIT-331: African Encounters
- LIT-460: Non-Western Literature
- PSY-322: Experimental Psychology
- REL-405: World Religions
- SOC-291: Criminology
- SOS-110: Living in the Information Age
- SOS-492: Research Methods in the Social Sciences

It used to work, but they removed the course from their list and it no longer does.
The most common courses for this are A&I Lit (Study.com and CLEP) or World Religions (study.com, SL, DSST)

Well that explains why my World Religions was placed in the Information Literacy, vs Diversity where I had expected it. Does Shmoop offer anything that would fit into the Diversity Intercultural Literacy slot?

Usually Sociology 101 or Psych 101 works well for Diversity. Foreign language works well there too.

I did a little research on my own questions and Shmoop does offer World Geography, so that fits the requirement as it is a direct course match from the TESU list. They also offer Modern European History, Comparative Government and Politics, and The Bible as Literature which might - any thoughts? I'm tighter on money than time right now, and need some gen eds (6 credits) and to fill the Diversity requirement as well. I've battled through Shmoop for a course once, so I know how awkward it can be.

Does the Shmoop Professional Writing count for TESU's Written Communication under Intellectual and Practical Skills?
