TESC does not offer any partial-credit courses, and will not give suggestions on courses offered elsewhere but will confirm whether or not something will fulfill a requirement if I ask a specific question. (They're helpful in all other areas, and I understand they're in business to make money; pointing business elsewhere does not put money in their pockets. I definitely understand, I just need a suggestion on what might qualify so I can ask if it'll fill in.)

I could have sworn I've seen others' evaluations that have 1 or 2 credit course entries, but my forum search skills are failing me and I cannot see what those courses were. Does anyone have suggestions of a 1 or 2 credit course I could take somewhere and transfer in? It'll save me a full 3-credit course, time, and $, and you'll have my eternal gratitude.

I have heard that it is easy (again, if you like writing and literature, although there should not be too much writing). From what I know, it is the only TESC course that is less than 3 credits. It is another option and would have a TESC grade.

Otherwise, just take an easy CLEP in any GE subject you like.

mrs.b Wrote:I do not test well. I've taken a few CLEPs and have another scheduled for next week, but I much...MUCH...prefer a course where I can base more of my pass success on coursework. It may be slower, but it's a lot less stress and frustration for me. It's a personal quirk, but it's mine, and I'll own it. As for expense, I've already paid the Comprehensive tuition. I might as well use it to its full advantage, rather than pay out of pocket for an exam.
