TESC Psych: making me crazy......science..what do we need????

[bricabrac]

I see they've come up with new cutesy terminology for the Gen Ed sections again. Gather "Literacy" is the new buzz word. P&SR changed to Civic and Global Learning (rolls eyes). Someone is actually getting paid to come up with this stuff? Unbelievable.


To your question - only need 3 Math /quantitative literacy (IPS) and 4-7 NS/M (physical and natural world) credits. Below are two scenarios.


A. IPS / Quantitative Literacy:
MAT 115 Intermediate Algebra Aleks (3)

D. Physical & Natural World:
COS 101 Intro to Computing DSST (3)
ENS 200 Environmental Science Straighterline or BIO 208 Nutrition TECEP (3)


If you can handle basic math, I would recommend using Aleks Intermediate Algebra for the math requirement and run through the IC cards for college mathematics once or twice you will easily pass the lower level Math CLEP and TECEP. They are both high school level and you are able to take advantage of using the same study material to pass multiple multiple exams.

A. IPS / Quantitative Literacy:
MAT 115 Intermediate Algebra Aleks (3)

D. Physical & Natural World:
MAT 102/103 College Mathematics CLEP (6)

E. General Ed Elective:
MAT 105 Liberal Arts Mathematics TECEP (3)


Edit to add:
In looking at the 4-7 credits in Physical & Natural World, thinking there may be a lab requirement on the horizon? If so, good thing you got in prior to the catalog change. SL has an online lab available although the kit has a rep of being pricey.
