My son's academic evaluation came through. Questions. . .

I'm a little out of my element looking at a communication degree, so bear with me on that. But, I think there might be some errors in the gen eds- so since you mentioned an error with speech, you should call.

Here's what I'd check on for sure:

These two are listed as a humanities-I noticed they assigned his other 3 MMVP classes a COM dept number too and calling them "gen ed electives." Just confirm. I'd hate to see all of those demoted to free electives later with an "oops, we missed that these were media." When I checked Hennepin's web site, those are ALL from an AAS department- which is usually automatically NOT a liberal arts credit. Double check and be sure to prompt them by saying they were from an AAS department, because seriously, when he applies for graduation they WILL check- and that's not when you want to find a deficiency of credit...especially if your yearly fee is due.
MMVP1511 Production Planning...... 4.00 A COM-199 *CC *TE
MMVP1516 Digital Media Technology. 2.00 A COM-199 *CC *TE
*and, if they are wrong, you at least can use the other 3 credits from A&I Lit which they put in your "free elective" area. (?!)

Part 2: you have planned in classes/tests as free electives. There is nothing wrong with this, but you should know FEMA credits are 100% free. Zero cost, so you might want to consider saving a few dollars in that section. By my math, you'd save at least $800 over the way it's written. If, the communication/media credits get demoted, these will be filled by the MMVP credits and it will be humanities that he'll have to complete - so I'd hold off on the tests you have there just until you get confirmation.

I'd be interested to hear how this goes
