Class Suggestions witih list - TallCharacter - 04-20-2016

Hello,

I'm looking to attend TESU. I have 24 credits to complete and they've sent me a list of options so I can finish. Can anyone provide me some insight of what the easier classes are? A couple TECEP's are ok, however I am looking to pad my GPA a bit. I transferred a lot of graded classes in.

Thanks,
TallCharacter
