Can you look over my roadmap please? TESC Liberal Arts

[MelB8tz]

I will type this all out again since my in-laws computer likes to crash at horrible times.........

1) I see you only showing 9 Math/Sci credits BUT you only counted the Math CLEP as 3 credits. That is a 6 credit test giving you the full 12 credits.

2) I see that there appear to be 3 Social Science credits missing. If you take the Social Sciences & History CLEP (6 credits) you will gain those 3 credits and have 3 more to spare, nullifying the need to take Sociology or Environment & Humanity! This is a pretty easy test that shares much overlap with the tests in your general ed electives breakdown.

3) Heres to Your Health does not count as any form of general ed at TESC so you can scratch that one. I recommend taking Analyzing and Interpreting Literature instead. It should not overlap your American Lit courses and will give you 6 EASY (I mean EASY) Humanities credits that will substitute for both Heres to your Health and Art of the Western World. BONUS: If it turns out that the Art test won't duplicate your existing art credit then you will be three credits ahead and can eliminate another general ed test!

3a) OR use the A&I Lit test mentioned above to substitue for the English Lit test in your major requirements. A&I Lit is a lot easier, unless you are already very familiar with English Literature, and counts as 200 level credit at TESC.

3b) Have I mentioned that A&I Lit is easy?

4) Technical writing is another gimmie test that will grant 3 humanities credits. You can use that one instead of one of the more difficult history tests if you are so inclined.

5) Money & Banking is considered pretty difficult. Have you considered taking ECE World Population instead? That is regarded as one of the easier upper level exams.

6) Sociology and Environment are both considered easier exams. I believe sociology would still be a bit easier though I passed that one with just a few hours of IC cards.

I hope this helped please ask if you have any more questions.

Everything you said is great. Forgive me for not reading the forum entirely, but my two pennies:

I took A&I Lit, English lit, and now American Lit. There's overlap in the ideas if you want to take them all back to back--it stinks to do so much literature but they're worth 6 credits a piece, and not TOO killer hard (like Money and Banking, eek!??)

So yeah.. especially if you did some lit in highschool, you end up reviewing it and doing a crash course on memorizing key ideas.
