Starting TESC

[OfficerA]

That is the degree Prloko. Like I said I know I have at least the English Comp I and College Algebra knocked out as I took them at the University of Mississippi in 2001 and got a C in both. I also took a Theatre class which I figure will fall in there somewhere for an elective. I was a business major, so most of my classes I actually passed where in that area. However, after joining the military and getting into NDI and then into Avionics, I am wanting to pursue something in Electronics. I figure TESC is a good place to start and maybe I can translate this into a job as an Electronic Technician working offshore or for Halliburton or something as it's a good paying career field even with just the Associates degree. I just hope I get max transfer for my military training in Avionics and I hopefully can complete this sometime soon.

Another question I have about TESC is they say they have semester that start each month. Say I register for English Comp II in the Feb semester, can I then take something else in the March semester? Although I plan to take more than one class each semester if possible. Just might be good if all the finals don't roll around at the same time.

That's what I'm up to now (taking a class/TECEP every month); I've staggered it so that I'm not overloading myself, but at the same time I'm keeping busy every month. TESC has the schedules for class start and end dates; most instructors will want to finish classes ahead of the last day of class, to give them time to mark things. You can also check the syllabus for most classes, as a module opens up almost on a weekly basis (all three classes I've taken so far have been 12-weeks long, and I've only had an exam in one). It won't give you the due dates for when exams/midterms and other things are due, but it's almost weekly especially if there are 12 modules in a class.

My advice is to get ahead of class whenever possible; I managed to be 4 weeks ahead for one of my general elective classes, and I'm planning to do the same for my current English class this long weekend, so I only have to worry about my other TECEP exam and the weekly forum postings by January.
