Aleks & Tesc

Someone stated in the ALEKS thread that TESC only accepts Intermediate Algebra on up...I think they look at Beginning Algebra as "remedial"

I suspect this to be the case, but it hasn't been tried as far as I know. I'd be willing to bet, that our little group here represents the sum total of all TESC students who have found ALEKS, submitted to ACE, and tried for credit. The odds of an "outsider" stumbling on that path are slim.

My son will have this course on his transcript - but I won't know how it comes in for a few years. I'm suspecting it to be a 085 or similar. That would be "college credit" but not count toward the degree. Yeah- that sounds stupid, but the only real benefit that gives you is it acts as a placeholder /prereq. Oh, and you learn beginning algebra

To anyone who tries this- please post your results!! And those of you who are taking college algebra, if you have any hours left on your membership- you could simply squeeze out a quick assessment for beginning algebra- you'd pass on the first try, and then you could include that with your eval. Pretty please? It wouldn't really be any extra work- and it wouldn't cost any money. It's for the future of all IC members in the forum! Come on!
