2 GPA Boosters Remaining - Please Help Me Decide
#1
I need 2 more exams (preferably graded or 6 credit pass/fail ones for the most GPA impact) before graduating. I have a very limited time to study and complete these. I just completed Supervision yesterday and it fit the criteria perfectly. I'm basically looking for two easy A grades through Excelsior. This is my available list of exams to choose from:

1) Analyzing & Interpreting Lit. - No IC cards/non-graded/6 credits. I know nothing about literatrure and poetry but I have good reading comprehension. Prefer reading about sports, health, human performance, etc.
2)Env.&Hum.Race/Save Planet
3)Ethics in America
4)Foundations of Education
5)Intro to Business - I have taken OB, HRM, Management and Supervision
6)Intro to World Religions
7)Intro to Computing - No IC cards for this particular one. I Scored a 63 on MIS 1.5 years ago, however I still consider myself pretty computer illiterate)
8)FEMA Credits - Just discovered this option. Does the whole TESC credit bank (one flat fee) and then transfer to Excelsior thing work or do you need to fork out $60 per credit through Fredricks? Couldn't find definitive answer.

Steelers, I just sent you a private message. From what I've heard from others, as well as my EC advisor...you can credit bank FEMA credits at TESC for a flat fee of $380 (depending on how many credits you need). If you only need 6 credits...then you'd be better off going through Fredericks & saving yourself $20.

I found the Analyzing & Interpreting Lit. almost too easy. Also, Ethics in America is a pretty easy one....IF you are remotely a history buff at all. I took that one right after taking all my Western Civ (I & II) & US History (I & II) exams. From that point, it was fairly simple...throw in a couple hours of IC cards & you're good to go. I hope that helps.

A&I Lit. is only awarded Pass/Fail credit by Excelsior. It will not effect your GPA one way or the other.

Since you have had other business core classes and MIS. I would take Intro to Business and Intro to Computing. Use the IC Clep computer exam cards to study with.

If you do Fema through Frederick, are they then graded or still just pass/fail?
