Excelsior College TECH 290 Capstone Question
#21
(09-17-2017, 06:49 AM)MrBossmanJr Wrote: My capstone was only for completion of an Associates so I only had 8 discussions, 8 drafts + final draft submissions every week after the first, and the final paper (combination of the drafts with some editing). I still have my typed-up coursework saved on my hard drive. I would post the final paper but I am not sure if I am allowed to do so.

One trick I learned is to upload the draft to get a TurnItIn score.  It even underlines all the items it uses against you.  

No need to post paper.  How long was the final paper?

You help others just by telling us basic facts!

Awesome, I didn't know TurnItIn gave a score for a draft.

The paper I wrote was 25 pages long including cover page and sources. Other people's papers might be shorter or longer. I forget the minimum.

I want to try to knock out a Bachelor's degree quick. I might try bjcheung77's plan to get that BALS. I might need to start a new post and ask how I can obtain the quickest degree with my current credits so I can commission as an officer in the military.

And you won't find a more efficient one than the Bachelor's in Liberal Arts (without concentration) degree from Excelsior College.

The above is the most flexible that I know of.

With the TurnItIn score the lower the better.  Mine run about 10-13% each.

Excelsior requires almost twice as many UL credits as TESU, and don't make it clear what they accept for what equivalencies. It's also more expensive.

Excelsior isn't a bad option necessarily, and is probably a better option some instances. But for a generic BALS I'm not sure how it's more flexible.

I mainly thinks its more flexible as the GEN ED are way more flexible at Excelsior.  UL is easy if you can pass some DSST history exams.  I consider all three of the Big 3 cheap.

TESU has too many stupid requirements.  I do like the TESU name better.
