All ALEKS stat courses duplicate at TESC

[nj593]

I spoke w/ the doctor guy who is the head of advisement I think he said. He was the first to nicely tell me to kiss off. Then I spoke with my adviser he told me no. Then told me he wouldnt tell me which femas I was missing because I did so many and should try to learn real things more or less. Then I sent about 3 emails here and there and i guess they all took turns laughing since they all work in the same office. I think they dont like me.
End of story they told me i duplicated on all stats. And wouldnt take my trig one because college math covered that section. I fig my trig class would have gone into free electives, nope,no way, go away is what i got.

Cook,

I wonder if dual stats classes are only allowed for certain majors? Otherwise this makes no sense whatsoever. It also may be the advisor. I've read the science advisors are much better than their counterparts in the arts. I happen to be under the science umbrella as I am dual enrolled science & arts. Still they must receive approval from the same head of advisors. I hope this works itself out soon.

[quote=cookderosa]well crap.

ALTHOUGH, I have to say two things. First, if this is true, that means they are NOT re-classifying Business stats as a math class, but that it can be used as a stats requirement. This might be important to psych and business students- but it's bad news for every other BA major. Anyone in a BA plan willing to test this? I'd fall over dead if they gave someone liberal arts credit for that class...but stranger things have happened. That doesn't mean that they can't call it a duplicate, however, I would be VERY CAUTIOUS telling someone that they could use Business stats as their liberal arts stats. I think if I'm understanding this, well...I'll think this through a bit.

Second, I think I know who you spoke to, and if I'm right, she's an idiot (and I RARELY ever call someone an idiot, I think the last time was this same advisor a few months back lol).

Hummm... this doesn't mean she's wrong... but she's only been there about 8 months and she didn't seem like the kind of person who learns quickly...but I'll not speak unkind,maybe it's someone else. However, for her to sound so sure of how ALL the ALEKS/TESC students are evaluated is confusing since there have probably been about 2-3 people IN ALL who have even tried to send in all 3 ALEKS stats for a liberal arts major (if even that). Really, of the number of people taking ALEKS, how many are taking all three stats, and of those that are, who knows about ACE, and of those that are, how many are TESC students? WE ARE the population of people she is talking about. She's an idiot.[/quote]
