Class suggestions for Info Lit, Civic Engagement, free electives?

[collegechick]

Hi everyone,

I still need to complete these areas for my BA at TESU and welcome suggestions:

1. Information Literacy (I failed CLEP's Analyzing & Interpreting Lit, so I do not want to touch that gross, useless course again.)  Could I do Intro to World Religions on Study.com?

2. Civic Engagement - Study.com's Anthropology 101?

3. Electives - need 8 credits.  Are there any other free electives I could take?  I've already completed Institutes Ethics, TEEX Cyber Security for Everyone and Business Professionals.  So any other free ones are greatly appreciated.  

4. Upper level - need 13 more credits.  BJCheung has been really helpful in this area on my other thread, which I will be referencing as well.   

Thank you for your help!

There is a 1 credit free course at Sophia.org.

What subjects do you like / find easiest? Do those

For electives, a CLEP or two through Modern States if you already know any of the topics or like them. Like Sociology or Psychology is fun for many people, and if you do two similar ones there's overlap

There's another TEEX course (Cyber Security for IT Pros) for 2 credits. Also I think there's a 1 credit course from NFA still available.

Hello, you should refer to this list for your requirements: https://www.tesu.edu/academics/courses/2...After2.cfm
1) Information Literacy - World Religions from Study.com works fine
2) Civic Engagement - Anthropology doesn't seem to work, I suggest American Government

3) 8 Electives, I know you don't like Saylor, but it's cheap/easy/fast - Environmental Ethics is an easy one
As mentioned by poster above, complete these Freebies: http://degreeforum.wikia.com/wiki/Free_S..._of_Credit
If you require more, you can decide on taking something from Study.com or Shmoop in a subject you like or interests you

Update: **CLEP with Modern States should be your first option for all of these, as you get the voucher free
Just make sure to use additional free resources you can find to try and score a better grade, example, use the AP resources they have as well

Thank you for your response.

Are you suggesting American Government through CLEP or Study.com?  Could I use CLEP's Modern States for this category as well? 

I will revisit Saylor.  My problem with it is that I get caught up reviewing everything and it seems to take weeks to get through all the content.  Perhaps I'm worrying too much.

Thank you for the freebies!  Enrolling now! 

Where can I get the voucher for Modern States?  Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it!

You should complete American Government at https://modernstates.org/course/
You need to "finish" your studies with them, and then email to get a voucher.
Basically, you pay for it and get a credit back in the mail.... Sadly, I haven't used them.

For your 8 elective credits, if you want, you can take some "Language CLEPS"
especially if you know the language already for easy-peasy credits!
Select from the list of available courses, just make sure it doesn't duplicate one you've done.

Here's the link for who to email when you're done "studying" for that course or set of courses.
I wonder if you can do more than one course at a time, making me want to take more for fun.
Anyways, good luck! Email Whitney for the vouchers https://modernstates.org/freshman-year-free/

Thank you.  It looks like Modern States is a study site?  I've signed up and added American Government to my list of courses, but don't see where I can begin the lessons?

I have basic understanding of Spanish and Italian.  Not sure if it'd be a breeze or not, but I appreciate the suggestion and will research it!  Thank you again for all your help!
