TESU Cornerstone Course: TES-100 - sanantone - 06-30-2016
I don't know if this has been posted before, but here is TESU's official introduction to the course.
Introducing TES-100: Take a Sneak Peek at the New Cornerstone Course

Shame the video didn't talk about the course. They just added a few animated titles to one of their graduation success stories.

Looks like this course is credit only, no grade. No using this for a cheap course to establish GPA.

Where does the cornerstone show up on the evaluation?

It's showing up as an elective for me.

General Ed elective, or free elective?

A required course showing up as an elective? TESU is getting stranger by the minute.

A free elective, though I'm not sure if this is because I've already fulfilled my Gen Ed elective requirements with other courses.
So far, it's been a very watered down version of the Freshman "College Readiness" course that I took at my first B&M about 10 years ago. It started with a "General Knowledge" assessment that reminded me of SAT practice exams, and now I'm going through the subsequent sections on Ways to Earn Credit, Academic Policies & Integrity, Support Center, etc. In each section, there is a multiple choice question (sometimes two) after every concept is explained. I honestly haven't read the material that closely, because I know the answers to most of those questions from reading this forum & the Wiki, and rigorously combing through the TESU site even before I applied. 100% so far
I can see it being more useful to someone who has never enrolled in any kind of college, or hasn't had experience with online learning, but I'm a little annoyed that I paid $300 for something that I'll probably be able to finish in between breaks at work.

Exactly. It makes sense why you'd want an incoming freshman to take a basic readiness course like this, but it should be waived if you have a minimum of x amount of college credits under your belt, or something to that effect. At least they're not charging full price, but $300 is still too much for something that should really just be an orientation video.

I am glad I don't need to take this class...
