Capstone requirement change at TESU

[armstrongsubero]

As if taking courses from SL or SDC really prepares anyone for the capstone. cmon, really??
I have not experienced very tough grading so far...

If TESU really did care about preparing students for the capstone, than a mandatory university level writing course would make sense.
Anything else is just a pointless money grab, just as the cornerstone was.

They do require the standard college English courses which cover research papers. You should have finished them before trying the capstone. Specifying 100 credits first is surely an attempt to get better prepared students in the capstone courses. Nothing here sounds like a money grab, unless they try to specify a certain number of TESU courses, which they haven't done.

Having graded credit as possibly a requirement based on the wording in the 2019 policy was basically what he was alluding to when creating this thread. Which means either courses at TESU or some other B&M institution. 

I don't know about everyone else on here, but I certainly didn't learn a great deal from taking English Comp 1 and 2.

Please stop taking about this. With all the course provides, TESU, possibly ACE and all the providers and big 3 lurking on here please stop. Some people will learn and some people with experience will know more than others. I personally learned some things and some things I learnt. That is what competency learning is about, demonstrating you gained knowledge from outside the classroom being on job or whatever. Anyone who reads casually and has a job would easily pass Eng Comp I and 2. However I dare you to go the final exam of Calc 1, Calc 2, Discrete Math, Statistics, some UL business and comp sci courses etc and you will fail.

Please stop giving providers a reason to make things harder than they are. Look at ALEKS, people with dyscalculia were thankful they could do intermediate algebra (and at one time beginning algebra) and at least get a BALS degree to keep their job or get promoted and feed their families.

Some fools started posting they cheat this way and that and not learn anything etc and got beginning algebra removed, then got intermediate algebra removed and in part probably prevented ALEKS from getting long term renewal.

Just be thankful we can get a degree and stop talking about not learning anything before TESU states "From Jan 2019 all writing courses must be done at TESU".

Just please stop this madness, and let people earn their degrees in peace. If YOU dint learn anything fine, but don't make it sound like no one learns anything, which is what you are saying from MY perspective.

Lets us earn out degrees and let other after us experience the path of least resistance and shut your pie holes about not learning!! Before someone important sees Lol   I for one learned a lot from some of my courses, thank you very much, including Eng Comp. I never did an interview before that and it was a good experience.

For some people this is the ONLY way they can earn a degree and feed their families, don't ruin it!!
