Cornerstone waiver

[Merlin]

Merlin, from looking at your signature.  Your best bet for the cheap/easy/fast 3 credits of general education would be an OD course at $9 or Saylor course for $25.  One of the Introduction to Computers would be perfect in this case.  OD has Python for theirs and Saylor is using Java for their Introduction to Comp Sci.

Oh, I have plenty of options... that isn't the problem. But thanks for the suggestions.

I'll probably just take the Intro to Nutrition or Environmental Science courses since I've got some interest in that subject matter. Though I could also take another psychology course given I've already done 3 of them and I'd only have to complete about half the quizzes in Study.com to get through another one.

I have also considered the OD Python course since it would be easy given I already know Python, but I don't really like the OD format. I was taking their Psychology 101 course but ended up dropping it in favor of Study.com.

This is mostly just a point of annoyance. Having to take a 3cr course to make up for a 0.33cr deficit due to the conversion between quarter and semester units sucks.

Right now I'm assuming the TEEX Cyber 101 and 301 will come in as free electives after the recent changes (CAP-295 and CYB-120) but if either of them ends up coming in as a GenEd science course then that will also solve my GenEd deficit.

I'm going to chime in and help anyone who might be curious about what's going on with the Cornerstone class.

I was under the assumption that this was waived if you were flagged as a study.com student. I transferred in 6 Study.com classes but did not have it waived (even after being told I could). I was told that my transcript had to come from Study.com and not Ace, but my Study.com membership ran out so it was difficult to get support from them. It seems like they are basically making it a requirement for all students....$300 bucks down the drain.

After making a few calls they told me I would have to take the class and that I couldn't have it waived as of August. I registered for the class and finished it in about an hour. It was registered for the August term but I was able to start it right away (even though August hasn't started) and once I completed all the quizzes I received credit for it.

If anyone has any questions let me know.

That's good then, maybe if I register for October I can just start it right away and get it out of the way then.

You finished to Cornerstone class in under an hour? I thought there was more to it than just a couple of quizzes.

Well I took the initial assessment after I had taken it for another course, and it was VERY similar. After that I went through the modules and after every other page it has a quiz (very common questions to answer for people who are enrolled in college) and after moved on to the next.

Before I realized it I was at the end of every module and looked at my grades and had 100% on all quizzes and completed the assessment.

The cornerstone is easy, the capstone is tough. There are many others who've posted about their experiences clearing this course in 30 minutes or less.

Nope, it's a quick one.  I think I took under 2 hours, with a few interruptions from the kids.

Will completing the Cornerstone course count for official enrollment into TESU?
