TESU Gen Ed: Oral Communication when DEAF

[ashkir]

TESU responded today after all the paperwok etc.

Public Speaking is hereby waived and replaced with: COM-210 Public Relations Thought and Practice

They suggested I take the TECEP.

This is actually a terrible choice - I hated this course! The TECEP was hard - and I read the entire book and studied like crazy.  You'd have been much better off taking Study.com's Presentation Skills in the Workplace, or gotten a waiver from SDC or SL or Sophia to modify their Public Speaking courses.

I had no plans on taking study.com and recent posts stated the presentation skills in the workplace doesn't always transfer as the needed credit. It seemed to be up to the evaluator.

I can ask about other alternatives, they seem to be pretty flexible and only offered that class as a TECEP as it's the only one they had as a TECEP that didn't require a public speaking option.

Honestly I don't get how that would meet the requirement either, as I don't remember anything in there being about public speaking in any way.  I wonder if there are any other Communications courses they will take, like Visual Comm or Interpersonal Comm or something like that?

I responded back and asked if I can do Visual Communications instead.
