Choosing General Electives - cleper123 - 12-21-2017
Hi All!
I'm in the process of choosing my GE elective courses and wonder if anyone has any thoughts?
I require 15 credits in GE electives (I have a 3cr overage from the A&I Lit CLEP) and already have 6 math credits that will fit...so I need to choose 9 credits to fulfil the requirement.
So far, I have tentatively comitted to:
TESU Study.com
PSY-101 Psychology 101: Intro to Psychology
COM-290 Communications 120: Presentation Skills in the Workplace
My reasoning here is that, having done Sociology 101, I gather that there is a fair amount of crossover with PSY-101, is this a fair assessment? Additionally, COM-290 is a very short course that will fit within this requirement, am I correct?
So I need to choose one more 3cr course. Does anyone have any thoughts as to this?
I'm leaning towards HUM-101 : Intro to Hum I: Philos Thought or possibly GOG-120 : Introduction to Human Geography. Can anyone comment on how difficult/time consuming and or interesting they are?
Thanks!

One possibility is doing a 6 cr CLEP if you already know some of the content. It's free through Modern States. The English Lit CLEP is half analyzing Lit, so it doesn't need as much studying.

I would do an additional Psych course, or another math course. Anything with overlap is nice.

Or of course a 3 cr CLEP if you're already doing 2 courses at Study.com. The Intro Educational Psych has some overlap with Intro Psych. There are some math CLEPs.
