English Comp 102 advice needed

[odie313]

Fellow users,

I need some help on what English Composition 102 class I should take.  I would prefer a class where I actually learn how to write a research paper.

I am currently an inactive student at TESU, my major is BSBA GM.

Also, I took English 101 at a local college over 10 years ago.

TIA.

2 cheapest/easiest options for RA schools where this will be the case:

Olivet Nazarene University (ONU) YourWay program: ENG 200 - College Writing II ($50/cr = $150/course)

TEL Learning (via a choice of RA schools): ENG2103: Literature & Composition ($67/cr = $200/course)
 - MACU >> ENG1203: English Composition II (this is my first choice of schools)
 - Lane College >> ENG132: English Composition II
 - McM >> ENG1320: Composition and Literature

Both are self-paced.

I know the syllabus for the TEL courses is available online: https://tel-courses.org/uploads/media_im...ition1.pdf

You should also consider ASU course, it is 425$ for the RA credits but you can complete the whole course and get the grades for only 25$ (and then you have the option to pay 400$ to get the credits).

Actually, if you want to learn and spend less, you can learn with the ASU course and then get the English Composition II course with Sophia, or SDC.

On the other hand, I am closely linked to the publication of research papers. If you want to learn how to write this kind of articles, choose one area of your interest and read as much papers as possible, this is actually the way to understand the dynamic.

Are you looking for ACE credits or community college RA credit and a grade to go with it? I would suggest if you're looking for ACE credits, then Sophia, Study.com or StraighterLine will fit the bill. Otherwise the ones dfrecore mentioned will fit the bill. However, If you're looking to splurge a bit for RA & Graded credit, then taking the course at the local community college (online course if they have it) or from Clovis, Luna, NMJC if you don't have them cheap in your state.

Mine are all RA graded as well, and cheaper than the ones you listed.

That's right, and I did mention "splurge". I should have indicated more details, such as if you wanted to have these done in a shorter time frame, NMJC does have courses that are 8 weeks long vs 12 or 16 weeks.

TEL & Olivet allow you to be done even more quickly as they are self-paced.

[bjcheung77]

I just gave extra option, furthermore, if the user is not looking for self paced, they have the option of the 8 week classes - with fellow students.

TEL and ONU are self-paced, so you could conceivably complete them even faster than 8 weeks.

odie313, I was streaming/watching a movie earlier, forgot to ask you questions and provide you even more options! Anyways, do you belong to a workplace union? You can go for the EGCC Associates if you've not got one yet: https://www.egccfreecollege.org/ If you do, the EGCC actually ladders to a Bachelors and it can be inexpensive too! https://www.unionlowcostdegrees.org/ Do you get tuition assistance or reimbursement? It might be worth while to take courses that are "more expensive" using this option.

Have you retired or are you a senior, like 65? Are you a service person/vet? Many colleges provide cheap/free tuition! If you're in a state where credits are cheap like California, you can try taking courses in your own state community college - I think that's where you completed the bulk of your credits. Anyways, since you completed English I at a college, see if it's worth while and comparable in price to complete English II there. Here's the Luna example I mentioned, it's $40/credit, seniors are only $5/credit and whatever their other fees are.

Last but not least, skip TESU for UMPI. Complete your Sophia.org courses for Lower Level and take the English II course at UMPI. If you finish in 3 terms, that's just $4200, it'll be cheaper than TESU's cornerstone/capstone plus the residency waiver. I suggest getting most of your courses at Sophia.org first, as you already have a Language requirement completed. You just need the "minor" and remaining 30 residency credits. That beats taking any of the above courses mentioned and save you cash over TESU! That's the collective power of this board!
