Is TESU's academic evaluation less accurate for out-of-major calculations?
#1
I declared a major in "History" when I applied for TESU. When I use the "Academic Evaluation" option in Online Student Services, some other degrees can be calculated, but I notice it sometimes uses credit earned prior to my first BA in the calculations within my the degree area (e.g. I took design classes under my first BA and they are showing up in a major in Technical Studies). Can some of the credits from the first BA be used to fulfill within-the-area-of-study requirements? Is the calculator less accurate when I use this "Academic Evaluation" feature on degrees outside of the majors I've officially declared as my major?
#2
Yes, it is less accurate in many instances.

#3
Yeah, you won't be able to use that feature when you are working on a 2nd degree - it has to be done by hand.

Yeah, the "automatic" eval is inflexible, and it's results have to looked at with a critical eye. I'm not surprised it doesn't know how to apply the rules for a second degree.

Even on a first degree it can sometimes switch classes around. For example, anything I asked an advisor to move (like the ethics class) always defaulted back to whatever category it was in on the original evaluation. On a second degree I'm sure it doesn't have enough functionality to figure out what to do. I would email or call advising about specific courses for a second degree. You need 24 new credit so it should be easy to figure out.
