Why Charter Oak State College is better than Thomas Edison State College

[KittenMittens]

Many of the people who have debated with you have never attended TESC. They have no bias toward the school. You also insulted Excelsior and COSC. Presentation is everything. You still have not provided a breakdown of your cost plan that current and/or former COSC students can critique. How are people supposed to follow your plan when it's vague?

I've already addressed the breakdown of my costs in the wiki and the degree plan is fairly straightforward as to what courses a student can take and how they may cost. Costs are difficult to exactly breakdown since every student's situation is different (i.e. courses already taken, what future courses/exams may be taken), but I've highlighted what it would have cost me doing the same courses through TESC under the "enrolled options" plan versus COSC. I've also given the rationale as to why students may want to do the "enrolled options" plan over the "per credit" option where although you save only a couple grand, you are forced to study textbooks for 8 TECEP exams and figure things out on your own. Like I've said before, I don't think it's efficient or a good use of time to read a textbook to prepare for an exam - review materials like instantcert, review books, student feedback work as people have demonstrated on the instantcert website

I think you are being intentionally pedantic and nitpicking over every little detail because you're angry, feel offended, or feel like I'm attacking your intelligence somehow. You're trying to push the idea that TECEPs are better because you save what $34 an exam or that you may pass it without having any review material? That's not a dealbreaker I would say to most people. I've even openly admitted for the umpteenth time now that TESC would be the most attractive option if their TECEP exams had sufficient review materials.

As I've said probably for the umpteenth time now, I think a fair and honest criticism about the pitfalls of COSC,with its cornerstone course and capstone courses being "moneymakers", TESC with its TECEP exams, or Excelsior with its higher price, difficulty transferring credits, or how it sounds to me in is hardly an insult. It is my opinion If you perceive it as an insult, then it's best if you just ignore it and move on. The benefits of these programs are that you can complete a program rapidly, quickly, easily, and cheaply, and that's something commendable about these programs. But stating that these programs are exactly what they are, not a top tier degree, is hardly an insult - it's just a fact. Some people may feel offended that they worked very hard for to get these degrees, but I can't do anything about how they feel, I can only state my opinion
