Putting a Plan in Action, Final Input Requested

[degreeguy]

degreeguy, Happy Belated B-day (I read the last thread of yours, it was Friday the 12th - ain't we lucky it wasn't Friday the 13th...)   Anyways, I reviewed the spreadsheet dfrecore created for you.  You're just missing the AOS and a few courses that can be completed really quickly.   Which providers have you signed up for and what courses have you completed so far?  Have you signed up and paid for your Cornerstone at TESU yet?

To confirm, using Straighterline as an example - a passing grade is 70% or higher, anything over 70% will be sent over as 3 credits and simply go on as pass? 

I just finished up my first class and scored a 92%, but even if it was a 70%, it would make no difference? Kinda stinks if that is what it is, but I guess there isn't much I can do about it.

For all ACE/NCCRS credits, as long as you score 70% or higher, you get the recommended credit.  I still tell people not to slack off just in case.  It's better that you do well on your undergrad studies as it prepares you for the capstone course and grad school.

Thanks!

I've decided on Straighterline to start, and I'll use study.com for marketing courses later. If I can work through 7 courses a month on Straighterline, it works out to less than $500 for 21 credits. While tiresome, I believe it can be done, and knowing that I only need a 70%, that will make it that much easier. I prob wouldn't have studied as much for my first final, I came in with 650 points out of 700, only needed 50 for the pass, wound up getting 270.


The course was American Government - if you look at my CC transcripts, I actually take an interest on things covered there... It's nice to understand the nuances of govt. 

So I knocked that out. I took the two Sophia credits, I should have 27 transferring in from CC, that gets me to 32. 

I registered for the SOS 110 at TESU, which my understanding is a requirement(?), class begins in 3 weeks. I also need the Capstone from them as well, which I aim to register for by August (with the goal of December graduation). 

What is the AOS and what are these easy courses you mention?

In the meantime, trying to knock some things out that are required for the BSBA (marketing), up next is:

- Business Law
- Principles of Management
- (Most likely) Accounting 1 & 2

Outside of the marketing specific courses, I'm trying to go as quick as possible - I saw some courses on Straighterline that I figure should be quick and easy, just not sure how they apply. American History 1 & 2 (but I feel I have no more room on my transcripts for classes like that where the credits would be applicable), there was a class on nutrition, think I could do that in a day, another on anthropology, feels like I could do that in 2 days, environmental science (prob another 2 days), and another on religion (prob 2-3 days as well)... Those all feel quick and simple, just not sure how they apply to my degree?
