gen ed help at tesu - Sb2013 - 05-21-2018
i need to take some gen ed for tesu, for the information literacy area and ethics at the moment.
anyone suggest any classes from SL or study.com that were not too hard or for sure transfer??
the world religions classes have different numbers than what my advisor sent me...so i thought id checks ith u guys on here. thanks!

The course numbers that TESU provides is for THEIR own courses. So if you bring in something similar, but not exact (like a LL World Religions course from a CC for example), it will still fulfill the requirement.
For Info Lit, you can take World Religions from SL or Study.com, or Criminology or Research Methods in Psych from Study.com. I would take World Religions.
For Ethics, the free Insurance Ethics course is your best bet. I don't have the link, but you can search for it on here.

Thanks!! My advisor only approved 5 classes I can take on SL or study.com. So ill start with those. I was trying to get her to approve 3 or 4 more of the UL ones I need but I am just gonna get started today. A dsst test is my last option cuz there aren't any test sites super close to me. But ill take it if I must. I've taken email before and loved it.
Btw my advisor said the 5 classes r approved at sl till 6/30/18 and then tesu is gonna reevaluate the courses offered. Idk if I can finish them all by then but ima try to.
What's the study.com discount exactly? Anyone know? She's not really answering that and I keep asking cuz I read on here u can skip your capstone with classes on study.com. Help? I'm trying to get thru the classes I have left so my capstone is last thru tesu ...

At Straighterline? or at Study.com?
RE: gen ed help at tesu - dfrecore - 05-22-2018
Your advisor is an idiot. You'd do much better to come on here, read a bunch of threads, and just start.
BTW - no one at TESU is going to be helpful about you getting your degree without taking courses there. Their job is to get you to spend money at their school, not bring in all of your credits. So don't count on help in that quarter. Not saying they are doing anything wrong. And, most don't have the faintest idea what ACE/NCCRS even is, or how it works, or what's out there, so I wouldn't worry about that.

It's probably the advisor being an idiot, but I wouldn't be surprised if they actually are re-eavluating their ACE strategy, based on all of the changes we're seeing lately (such as downgrades of my courses previously coming in UL, Shmoop suspension, Study.com direct transcripts, etc).

If that is indeed the case, it sounds like people need to get all their ACE credits into TESU before 6/30 or risk them not being accepted.

We recently had a class come in on the evaluation as UL in the AOS, then a week later when we looked it had been changed to LL and moved to electives. So I called to make sure the other LDAS preplanned classes would be specifically preplanned for the provider we were going to use and was told they will not pre-plan ACE classes. They are still on the evaluation as preplanned but have the TESU course numbers on both sides.
