ALEKs - dapolochamp - 08-14-2018
With the renewal of ALEKS what course does TESU take and if known what are the course equivalencies?
Thanks,

Snippet from Merlin's post: "To get evaluations for both, you just take College Algebra (which you've already completed) and then take Trigonometry."
So, in total, you should only take 3 courses for 9 credits - College Algebra, Trigonometry, Intro to Stats.
The other two Stats courses should have changed, but I think it still duplicates the Intro to Stats course.

When did they get renewed?
Should I take more math courses for the sake of electives? I'm overwhelmed by the elective count on the TESU BSBA.

Only you can say if you "should" since they're electives. If you enjoy math, are good at it, or find it an area you want to improve in then by all means go for it. Otherwise, find something else that you may find more enjoyable or useful.

Yeah they're truly free electives. You can use a tennis class at the local CC if you want to.

I'd say that if you still have time left on your active subscription, then it doesn't hurt to start one of the other ACE courses.

Yep... if you're going to TESU those are the only three you should take. The rest will duplicate or conflict.
The business and behavioral stats courses were just recently downgraded to LL, so there is really no reason to take them now since they're harder but are still worth the same 3 lower-division credits as Intro to Stats.
