Needed: 1 Cr. Science Course
#1
Does anyone know of a Science course that's inexpensive, fairly easy, relatively quick, and one credit?
Thanks!

Boy I can not think of any 1 credit science classes. I have only seen them as labs attached to a science class. Can you just do an exam or an Aleks course? It might be three credits but atleast it is done.

:iagree: Labs are usually one credit but they are only given along with a course.

Have you taken any CLEP/DSST? I found Race to save the planet fairly easy.

Plus unless I'm mistaken taking a 3 credit CLEP will get you the 1 science credit plus possibly 2 spillover credits in an elective area.

I was just going to say the same thing. You do have to study, but it's not difficult at all. I hear that Astronomy is also not too bad, but I can't say because I never took it myself.

Taking a test would be much easier than trying to find a random one credit course somewhere, I think..

What about one or two of the modules at KCTCS?

Hi Storyteller,

What area is the credit needed to fill? Is it natural science at tesc?

If so, have you considered taking an aleks course? Intermediate algebra with the assistance of mathway.com is both cheap and fast.

My eval at TESC looks like this:
Math - Intermediate Algebra - 3 cr (ALEKS)
Nat. Sci - Intro to Computers - 3 cr (DSST)
(B&M) Business Data Proc - 2 cr
(B&M) Applied Busi Stats - 3 cr

Now I'm short 1 credit. I've been studying Astronomy but what a snooze! Other than "Race to Save the Planet" what other tests are considered Nat. Sci?

I appreciate all your help!

How about MIS DSST exam. I think that can fall under Natural Sciences and Math along with Business.

DSST Astronomy would also be worth Nat Sci credit.
