So if you take both of these, and then find 1 random general ed credit, you can fulfill 1 general ed course? hmm.

i needed to take a break from studying Cisco stuff so I knocked out this course. Took about half an hour or so, but i didn't read any of the material. i rushed through the quizzes and took advantage of the open book option on the final exam.
it's all mostly common sense stuff. Typical management stuff.

If I recall correctly, the first one ended up not counting as general ed? I could be wrong. No idea if SOS-240 Conflict Resolution would count as gen ed (i suspect it does?), but other smarties here probably know.

The first one is Business (HRM) but the newer one is Social Science (SOS) so will count under many different areas; Knowledge of Human Cultures, Gen Ed Electives, even AOS for a BALS, which is nice for anyone that might be short a credit there.

Nice to be wrong, in that case! That means just one of them can make up for the credit shortage that The Institutes' Ethics course causes.
