Quarter Hour, Semester Hour Debacle...PLEASE HELP ME.

studyhard Wrote:I don't have any advice strategy-wise, but I wouldn't be nervous about online classes through TESC. I had to take one online TESC class and was Majorly Stressed about it when I first started, to the extent that I was looking forward to the midterm because it was a paper TEST and that was something I knew what to do with, LOL! Big Grin

But it actually went pretty smoothly. You'll want to take some time to familiarize yourself with the "Blackboard" online system they use and it's slightly clunky on occasion, but with fellow IC'ers here to answer your questions, you'll be fine.

I actually found the class very doable. It was broken into six 2-week modules. Each module usually required some reading and usually an online class discussion. There were a total of four written assignments in addition to that, but they didn't have to be more than about two pages. Very doable stuff. The midterm and the final were pretty easy too.

All in all, I was way more nervous than I needed to be. Once I got the hang of it, I settled down and it went just fine. You can definitely do it!!!!


And don't feel bad about things being complicated.....I took my last DSST as a paper test, after nearly a month of run-around from my local test center, who was having trouble administering the online tests for some weird reason. A few days later I had to close my credit card account, so I called DSST and gave them a different card number. They said no problem. Few weeks later I get a letter from them....I'm all excited, I think it's my score...it's NOT my score, it's them saying that the credit card # didn't work. Duh! That's 'cause they used the old number! I was really ticked off. I got them to kindofsortof expedite the scoring. Then I get my credit card bill and they've charged me triple. I call to find out what happened.......turns out they mixed me up with my sister, who took two paper tests the same day I took mine. We have the same last name and live in the same house and they changed HER credit card #, not mine. Aggghhhh!!!! hilarious What should have been a simple in-and-out online test has drug on in one complicated fashion or another for nearly six weeks.......and it's the last one I needed!!!! Sheesh!!! Rolleyes

Wow, that is pretty good info on Tesc on-line, their classes are alot easier than my CC online classes. What I found out here in California a lot of the CC will farm out the classes to the State University Professors who treat the class like one of their upper courses, except I did not get the upper credit with the class. But, they are alot more doable than regular class. Answer posts and your tests online, mostly w/o proctors very simple and doable.
