Hi,
I just enrolled in TESC. I'm wondering if there is a place to go to talk to current students if I have questions or if this is the place?

This is the place to post questions specific to the big 3 schools. Members from all 3 schools frequent here and will help out when they can. Even some of us who don't go to TESC but have learned some things along the way will help out if can. Welcome!

I found some example course information online. Can someone tell me.....do the teachers commonly follow those written assignments/online discussions that are online or do they usually have their own curriculum?
Thanks!

Unlike traditional colleges, TESC uses mentors- not professors/instructors. That means, that the curriculum was NOT written by your teacher-it was written by TESC and your teacher will not be making changes unless they are very minor. Your mentor will post discussion questions which may change from term to term- will interact with you in the forum, and grade your work, but the mentors do not have any authority in the traditional sense.
(so the short answer is yes- what you see is what you will get unless there are changes to the course, updated text books, etc)
