Best ways to FINISH these last 2 classes
#1
Thumbs Up 
Hello folks!  I'm completing my BSBA from TESU and I am TIRED, lol.  Whew!  Been at it since 2015 (and researching since 2013/14), I am exhausted. :-)

Let's get to it then.  I have 4 total classes remaining. 

1.  English Writing/Composition 2

2.  Oral Communication (Public Speaking)

3.  Business Communication

4.  International Business

Oral Communication and Business Communication will be done through Straighterline. (I already purchased the courses, Big Grin)

Thant leaves English Writing/Composition 2, and International Business.

For International Business, I was thinking about DAVAR, but I know that Study.com also has an International Business Course.

For English Writing/Composition 2, there's Ed4Credit, or, Study.com.

I guess what I am asking is, in my very tired state, is what course providers would YOU choose for English Writing/Composition 2, and International Business?

Thanks for your help!

I feel your pain, it took me forever too!

For English Comp II, I'm going to recommend the TECEP. It was really easy. I took it cold, and got a decent score (79% I think), if I would have actually studied for like 5 minutes, I probably would have done much better.

For International Business, I would also say Davar. I guess from where you're at, an exam sounds so much faster than an actual course. But if you choose to use Study.com, then I would do that and make sure you do the LL course (why take UL if you don't have to??).

Good luck!

Is DSST an option for you? If so the Advanced composition exam has no writing required, just analysis of essay types. If you study each of the topics on the DSST Fact Sheet using OWL you should do fine. Here is a post about the test:

I highly recommend DAVAR's public speaking. Only has 1 speech required and it can be recorded with your phone.

I really like DAVAR but I chose Study.com for International Business because I was not in the mood to study for the 10 essay questions on DAVAR. If you choose DAVAR, I recommend paying attention to the slides that have more than 3 sentences on them, those are possible options for your essay questions. Rewrite each of those slides in your own words (2 sentences is fine) and then memorize all of them and you will be prepared for the essay portion.

Thank you!

For the TECEP, for the life of me, I could not find out what items were required to do well on it. (Last night, lol) all I could find is the items covered for the course.

Thank you so much for the well wishes! I will scratch and crawl my way across this finish line! Lol!

Thank you!!!! Yes, there is a place locally where I can take a DSST exam. I will check this out!

That's my suggestion too. I haven't taken it, however, I did use CLEP for my Eng 1 & 2 at TESU, and had to do the essays. The DSST doesn't have any essays but be sure to check the specific exam feedback section. There is a lot there that is confusing to me (warrants?) Anyway, DSST also running a promo for $70.

I used Study.com for both English Comp II and Oral Communications (Presentation Speaking or whatever). They were both pretty easy. This is coming from someone who is always looking for the easy route.

I would recommend sticking with your first choice of Study.com as you're already familiar with the process. You've got 2 SL courses, finish it off with 2 Study.com ones, easy as that, don't waste time second-guessing which is the better option, the option that gets it done is the one!

Does the English Comp II  TECEP require essay writing?       I see conflicting info on their website

Yes, but very short.  If you opt to take it, make sure you copy the "thesis" or whatever they call it from one page, you have to hit next and then you can't go back.  I wish I'd have known, because I had to write it all over again and then flesh it out a bit.  But if I would have copied it, and then pasted when I got to the next section, my life would have been easier.

Anyway, it really is much easier than I thought it would be.
