Question about Technical Writing at TESU
#1
Can I take the Technical Writing TECEP and study.com's Adv Technical Writing and get credit for both? Or do they come in as the same thing?

Yeah Sad Also I can't remember which ones, but I saw TESU won't allow taking some of the Tech and non-Tech TECEPs together.

It's probably only their newest TECEPs.

It says "You cannot earn credit for both ENG-201 and ENG-202." in http://www2.tesu.edu/tecep_desc/ENG-202.pdf

Maybe I interpreted it wrong? I guess they meant the credit won't count as 2 different courses. 

I was surprised because a friend wants to rack up some writing-related credits and it would be good to have all the tech writing and all the non-tech writing too.

I bet that's just because they are so similar in content. But it is strange in a way because the new Tech Comm satisfies the Oral Comm requirement. You'd think they wouldn't let you get credit for Public speaking and Tech comm not Tech writing.

You're referring to Technical Writing and Technical Communication. It's not about them being Tech and non-Tech, it's because they are so similar. It's like previously, you couldn't get credit for both the Intro to Computers DSST and the Info Systems CLEP - they were considered too similar as well. This happens with a lot of courses.

I don't know if this has changed since 2017, but the TECEP is a ENG-201 course, while Study.com's English 305: Advanced Technical Writing equates to ENG-306 : Intermediate Technical Writing at TESU (an UL course).

Would it be possible to take both?

They no longer duplicate, so you can get credit for both.
