My "DONE" Post
#1
Last night I took my last final for TESC and have applied for graduation with all degree requirements met. A year ago I was about 60 credits away from my bachelor's degree and stumbled upon this forum. I cannot thank all of you enough for all of your advice and guidance. Without you, I would have never had been at this point right now, fulfilling a lifelong goal. To anyone that might just be starting out or skimming these boards, let me tell you, this is the best thing that has ever happened to you if you feel like you'll never finish college. Take the posters' advice on here seriously and do your research. It is possible to complete your degree for a fraction of the cost and time you have ever thought while you still are gaining valuable knowledge in the process.

I cannot thank all of you enough and hopefully, I'll be seeing some of you at the TESC graduation in the Fall!

Thanks, Denise! I would highly recommend the Social Psych. It is, in my opinion, a great way to earn 6 UL credits. The information is interesting and the assignments are manageable. I took it with Lalain Williams. She was a fair grader.
