Intro to Critical Reasoning - TESU course

[LevelUP]

Has anyone taken Intro to Critical Reasoning as a real TESU course, not the TECEP or the free online course? I need one more class to meet the residency requirements for graduation and am hoping to find something low workload because I need to take it simultaneously with the business capstone.

I took the Intro to Critical Reasoning course.

From my notes:

• The assignments ranged from 200 to 500 words.
  
• The forums were fun and engaging. I wrote around 200 words for each one.
  
• It took me 13 hours in total to complete the entire course.
  

I studied for approximately 2 hours for each exam and received B's. If you aim for an A, I recommend dedicating 4 hours to study. The exams don't contribute significantly to your overall grade, and since there's no need to read a lengthy 1000-page book, it's relatively easy to prepare for them. I suggest focusing on studying the glossary terms and mastering all the concepts related to constructing arguments covered in the assignments before the exam.

Because there's a free online course available, you can prepare in advance before the official course begins, which can save you some work once your TESU term starts. This course was my favorite, aside from the business capstone course. TESU does an excellent job with their capstone courses, making them interesting. On the other hand, the SOS-110 course felt mostly like busy work to me.
