I had Eng Comp I and II already and thought it was easy. The exam guide almost tells you exactly what is on it. Don't get to worried about "the topic will be provided".

I rented a textbook from Amazon and the only part I read has the chapter on visual aids.

I took it and thought it was easy as well. I got a Technical Writing handbook from the library, and skimmed a couple of sections. But I didn't really need it at all. I did not study for it for more than 5 minutes.

who is "they?" and what ARE "they" saying it comes in as? How comes in will determine where it applies to. Not sure if you mean TESU, but they are still showing it as a general education course (ENG201). https://www.tesu.edu/academics/catalog/D...g/DSST.cfm

You need to give more info.  Who said this to you?

There is an interesting development - it is no longer listed as meeting the Info Lit requirement.  But it is still a Gen Ed course.  https://www.tesu.edu/academics/courses/2...After2.cfm

TESU said they no longer accept it as Info Lit. I called academic advising.

So it no longer applying to Info Lit and no longer applying to Gen Ed is completely different.  It IS a Gen Ed course.
