What UL classes did you enjoy? - lillingworth - 08-15-2020

I only need 7 more UL credits in my BALS. I have an ethics course, Japanese Lit, and TEEX DI.

What classes did you find enjoyable? Tolerable? Awful?

I'm wary of coopersmith because I'm scared of dropping $150 on something I don't like or can't finish, but haven't ruled it out completely. At least with SDC I can change direction if the class ends up not working for me and I wouldn't have to pay more (that month).

Any other sources? I'm pretty much in burnout right now so everything sounds awful haha but I only have a few left....

I sent you a longer, more detailed answer in PM.

I only needed 5 UL courses (15 credits, plus capstone) for my TESU BALS.
took and liked: teex Death investigation, SDC Eng 305, SDC Psy 301 (which is nccrs approved for UL and on the transfer guide). Coopersmith Sports and Exercise Psychology. Coopersmith Stress management.
started coopersmith sociology of jewish food. but discovered that class wasn't clicking with me for independent learning (having to look up a lot of Hebrew words and photos of foods for the material to make sense in modern times section. and material was not sticking when I tried the sample exam questions they provide) haven't asked for any policies on partial refunds. decided not to worry about it if answer is no.I can learn it later for personal enrichment instead of credit. that's ok too. (edit to add: according to the syllabus exam on this one is some m/c, some "short answer, one complete sentence", and some "quick essay" as in one paragraph answer.)

Is the TEEX Death Investigation considered UPPER LEVEL transfer to TESU??? Was it a proctored exam?

RE: What UL classes did you enjoy? - ARhead - 08-15-2020

Skaro - Yes it is upper level, and no it's not.

Did it have a paper? or just quizzes and then final exam?

I was thinking of doing Jewish Food because sociology was my major at my previous school. I thought maybe how hard it would be, it would be neat to learn something new. Not sure now. LOL

I tried to take Chinese history way back in my B&M days because I wanted something totally out of my wheelhouse that I knew basically nothing about. After a few weeks I realized how difficult it was going to be to try to remember hundreds of Chinese nouns (even translated to English) for the tests and dropped it. Trying to maintain a decent GPA limits your options for enrichment sometimes.

No paper. just exam (multiple choice)

I am not 100% sure on this. But some of Davar business courses look like they transfer to TESU as UL courses that count in the Humanities and Social Sciences areas for BALS. I have not used Davar to know about the courses or the exams. Other threads will have that info. But looking at Davar website with transfer chart, and comparing to TESU "humanities and social sciences" gen ed courses, maybe Managerial Communications, Organizational Behavior, or Ethics and Business Professional (assuming you don't have that course already) might work? cost effective. but I don't know anything about the courses or exams. hopefully those options can be verified by your advisor if you go that route. and maybe others can taken and liked or not liked those courses.
