Dumb question - Tripletmom - 03-19-2018
This is probably a dumb question, but I'm confused.
I just finished History of Vietnam on study.com. The study.com site says it's transferred to TESU as a "200" level course. Now, the same titled course under DSST transfers to TESU as a "300" level course. What gives? So, I'd need to take the DSST to receive UL credit? Maybe the course is different? Ugh
What am I missing?
RE: Dumb question - dfrecore - 03-19-2018
Study.com has 2 Vietnam courses, 1 UL and 1 LL. Normally, if the course is numbered in the 100's, then it's LL. If it's in the 300's, then it's UL (always check first of course). If you want to do the UL course next, you'll probably have quite a bit of overlap. The UL course will have at least 1 paper/presentation due as well.
HIS 108: History of the Vietnam War >> HIS-246
HIS 308: Causes & Effects of the Vietnam War >> HIS-351
The DSST is probably harder than the Study.com course, so it's considered UL (comes in as HIS-351).
ACE has looked at both, and determined what they're worth, so if they say the DSST is worth UL credit and the Study.com course is worth LL credit, they're probably correct.

yeah they're not the same course, they just have similar titles, that's where the confusion is coming in. the UL one is more extensive
