I'm new and could use some advice and help.

Really? Did you have to fill out the waiver (mentioned earlier by HorseManiac) for each class that you chose to use the library? Is there a way to find out if proctoring will be required or not before signing up for each individual class? What about the Capstone?

Do you think TESC would be a better option in my case?

Sorry for all the questions! It's just nice to hear from someone who completed a BA in English!

Yes, I did have to fill out a waiver at the beginning of each term for each class, but it was a really simple form. I think if you look at TESC's website and look at the classes you are thinking about taking it tells whether or not you have to have a proctor. The capstone was a bit daunting. It was a paper consisting of 25 pages (but that includes cover page, abstract page, table of contents, body, and references so that cuts down a lot). The other thing with the capstone is that it is actually broke up into chapters were you write one chapter every two weeks, so by the end all you have to do is compile all of the chapters into one document, review, edit, and submit it. It was much easier than I expected.

I can't say if it is the better option as I never looked into other colleges, I transferred from a community college to TESC, it was the easiest option. I read that you want to be a freelance writer- that is my end goal, though I plan on teaching for a while just to get started. I don't mind questions, I wish I had been able to have someone to ask before I began!
