Need 3 Humanities credits? Like to write? - blu2blu - 02-06-2011
...Then consider taking the TECEP Intro. to News Reporting. I just did a few days ago and I found it to be a fairly easy 3 credits. The outline available in the TECEP section of the TESC website is 100% accurate. Unlike other TECEPS you won't need to buy a textbook to study for this one. Read up on some basic Journalism ethics and terminology, those are 24 questions. You need to write three news stories of 200 words each based on some notes given to you. If you have ever written for a high school paper or taken a basic journalism class you are more than prepared. If you have not then just read some basic article writing tutorials available all over the net.
The test is pure writing, no multiple choice, but don't let this intimidate you.
I have not received my score yet but I feel confident that I passed. A 65/100 is all that is required.
You can do it!

Does the military pay for it? If not no thanks

The TESC folks had the hardest time figuring out how to get this thing paid for. They knew that my post 9/11 GI Bill would cover it but the process baffled them. It must have been worked out because they were waiting for payment, or at least the promise of, before mailing the test to my proctor.
If you havent activated those GI Bill benefits yet the process is easy day, PM me if you need details.
