Maybe students with a certain number of transfer credits are exempt. Maybe if students took a similar type course somewhere else they can transfer it in. We don't know yet. Plus it doesn't even start until January.

I'm going to guess that it's a worst-case scenario, because VERY rarely do colleges put this kind of thing into effect and then not apply it to everyone.  It's an easy money-grab, especially if who you're competing with does it as well.  You can't really say "well fine, then I'll just go to COSC or TESU and not have a cornerstone."

TESU has a better reputation. Better off just going there.

It should be a part of English Comp II. If I were running a school, I wouldn't allow credits for English Comp that didn't come from an accredited college.

When I was a kid, I still had to go to the library to do research, "the internet" wasn't quite in full throttle just yet. In English and Comp I, the professor took the class to the library and taught us how to look for books, taught MLA and APA format, etc. I just have a feeling a lot of education is a tad bit watered down these days. Maybe I'm wrong.   Undecided
