Torah College Credits - new testing options - clarifications

[Torah College Credits]

Hello!
I'm interested in learning more about your Upper Level history course (HIS-301) and how it is structured. Can I access the syllabus without creating an account? As I'm just in the "looking" stage at this point, I'm a little hesitant in giving out my Social Security Number (necessary for registration).

I'm particularly interested in the course format - does it utilize a traditional textbook with multiple choice lesson assignments/multiple choice final exam, does this course include any written essay requirements, is it a graded course or just pass/fail, etc.?

Thanking you in advance for your help!

Hi,

We have two upper level history courses. HIS 301 and also HIS 350.

HIS 350, The History of Antisemitism in the US, is a Rechtschaffen course that receives a letter grade from Excelsior. Here is a link to the NCCRS website's recommendation/course description for HIS 350. Study materials consist of a study guide/course notes and an audio "crash course". There are other optional readings but these are the essentials. There is one final exam, which will comprise your grade, consisting of 20 multiple choice, 15 open ended, and 3 short essays. TCC user accounts now include a History folder found in General ED which includes this course. Many students have used this to fulfill the 2nd depth requirement (3 credit upper level). Here is a student profile from Excelsior, so you can see his 2nd depth is met by this course. [ATTACH=CONFIG]1493[/ATTACH]

HIS 301 is a Coopersmith course which receives a pass/fail at Excelsior. The format is the same as 350. We will soon be adding HIS 301 to the Gen Ed/History folder in your user account.

BTW you only need to input the last four digits of your S.S. This is how Excelsior identifies students when we send in transcripts.
