Options for Texas Government? TAMUC

[westex93]

If I was able to complete the TX govt from TAMUC, then you can too!!
The first Learning Objective is the hardest. The problem with this class is that all of the tests are timed, and the reading material is all over the place. You have to do the writing prompts that were given to you in the pre test before you start the tests at the end of each learning objective. With the writing assignments complete for the learning objective you can search through the reading material "CTRL F" is your friend. Use this to help you find information for the multiple choice questions on the Learning Objectives.
You could also take all of the reading material and copy paste it to one document for easier CTRL F searching.

When I started TX govt I was ready to quit and just take the class at the local community college. After I got past Learning Objective 1, things got better (yes the class layout sucked) and I was able to power my way through it.

If a 40 something year old who took their last college college class in the late 90's could finish this class, you can be successful too.

This is one of the hardest (because of the poor layout) classes for the CBE program at TAMUC. If you can finish this, you CAN finish this degree.

If you are stuck in this class, send me a PM and let me know where you are stuck.

Thanks, and I was determined to plow through and do that at one point . The decision maker for me was that I need to take Fall 2 off for various reasons and pick it up again in the spring. I can knock out Texas Government between semesters at TAMUC. Furthermore, my plan is to try and finish my degree in two semesters. It's an unknown variable, but it this class were to cause me to run over into three, that would make it much more expensive - $1000 vs. the $390 at CTC. It's still a possibility to take it at TAMUC, and I know others have done it, it just makes sense to me to get it done before I pick back up in Spring 1.

How long did it take you and others to complete the class through TAMUC?

Depends where you're going to get the class from, you can review the classes available at the community college or another university, within their catalog of classes available, it'll show the class dates/times.  If it's a semester or an accelerated class or not, etc... What did it say for CTC that was going for $390 or so?

They are roughly 8-week time slots, with available options of 9/9-11/1 and 10/15-12/13. We leave for vacation 12/6, and I can't imagine having any trouble completing the 10/15-12/13 session at CTC easily before we leave (I'm knocking a course or two out a week at TAMUC right now.) but I'm wondering how long it has taken others. Fall 1 at TAMUC wraps up 10/18 and Fall 2 runs 10/28-12/13. If I could be confident I could finish my degree with a six week semester before we leave on vacation 12/6 I'd go ahead and register at TAMUC for Fall 2 but was thinking about postponing it.

Mostly, I'm wondering how long the class is taking others to complete. If I can knock it out in a week or so like my other classes, I may even squeeze it in the earlier time slot. I will have two weeks between the end of Fall 1 at TAMUC and the end of the session at CTC to get it done.
