TESU Information Literacy - mysonx3 - 08-31-2018
I don't really understand what sort of courses are covered under TESU's Information Literacy requirements. I know from their website that the Analyzing and Interpreting Literature CLEP covers it, as does the Intro to World Religions DSST, but I don't really see what the similarity is between those two courses that makes them fall under Information Literacy, so as a result I'm confused as to what other alternative credit courses might qualify.
I'm assuming that the Study.com Library Science 101 counts, since according to their website it comes into TESU as "LIS-102: Information Literacy"? Any other examples of what can satisfy this requirement? Trying to get a feel for my options.

Yes I can confirm that SDC lib sci 101: information literacy works since that's what I did. It's one of the shortest and easier courses on SDC. I've also heard that most people pass a & I lit clep pretty easily and it's worth 6 credits at tesu. So that is 2 quick, cheap, easy options. No idea about world religions DSST.
