Coopersmith Testing Question - tls7291 - 07-10-2021
Hi Everyone,
I'm taking History 301 Eastern European Jewish Immigration and Settlement in the United States. This is my first time taking a class with this Coopersmith and I'm wondering how their tests are laid out. Are they multiple-choice, essay, or both? Can I pass their tests by just studying their crash course, study guide, and practice questions? This is my last class for my TESU degree and any guidance is much appreciated. TYIA!

You should be able to pass just by studying the materials they give you. I don't know about this specific course, but they're usually multiple-choice exams with a handful of "essay" questions. The "essay" questions really just require 1-3 sentences with keywords proving you know the material. You don't need to actually write an entire essay or even a whole paragraph for most questions.
When you're done, please let us know exactly what course that this transfers to TESU as!

Thank you for that Info. So I made a bit of a mistake and assumed that the Capstone would count for UL History credits and it doesn't. I emailed them about this Coopersmith course because I had already taken all the other UL classes at Study.com that I could take. They replied by telling me that this class would fulfill my UL remaining History requirement.

Which UL credits did you take? It's my understanding that you need 18 UL credits. The capstone counts for 3, meaning you need 5 more UL courses. History 301, 306, 308, and 311 are all UL. Where it gets potentially iffy is Non-Western Civilization. There are UL and LL options that work. If you used a LL option there, that explains why you need the Coopersmith course.

I assumed that the Capstone would count towards my 15 UL units. They never told me that I needed 18 units, so I took Hist 379, Hist 354, Hist 351, Hist 450, and the Capstone. So, here I am taking another UL History course. I did check to see if any of the other Study.com courses could be taken as UL and was told no.

Ah, that's a shame. It's too bad that you were given incomplete information.
