Can I argue this?
#1
I know the only way to know for sure is to contact TESU, but I'm wondering if anyone has attempted anything like this:

I took a class called Sustainable Design and Construction (CET284). This class covered environmental issues and the impact of people on the planet and offered alternative construction options and also covered LEED certification. I can't find a course description for Environmental Ethics (just that it's a TECEP only) but I'm wondering if I can argue that it fits somewhere under social responsibility.

The official description: Introduction to principles of sustainable design and construction of residential and commercial facilities.
Topics include “green” building fundamentals and certifications, landscaping, energy, materials, indoor environmental quality, and economics.

The description makes it sound like it only focused on construction, but half the class was addressing environmental issues and human impact. I may be way off base with this but thought it was worth a shot.
Goal: Anything. Just need the paper.

I imagine you should be able to send the course syllabus (or a similar document from the class) to the Eval Team for review. Verifying course content should be easy enough.

Here are the objectives of the TECEP: http://www2.tesu.edu/tecep_desc/ETH-210.pdf

Get a syllabus for your course, and if they roughly match these objectives, send the syllabus into advising for appeal and see what happens. Worst they can say is no.

Thanks! I have a couple others I'd like to ask them about or request that they move to a different category so I think I'll gather everything and send it all at once. Just wondering if it seemed reasonable or if it seemed like I was reaching.

Perhaps, but it may be easier to just take the Saylor course final (if you already know the information) for $25 and 3cr. It's not a terribly difficult test to begin with if you have any ethics and/or environmental science background.

Honestly, it isn't even close to the Env Ethics course, which is a philosophy course. You study philosophers and ethics systems that have developed around environmental concerns.

Thank you! I was wondering about this because I couldn't find a course description. In that case, I don't think I'll try it.
