TESU Information Literacy
#1
I don't really understand what sort of courses are covered under TESU's Information Literacy requirements. I know from their website that the Analyzing and Interpreting Literature CLEP covers it, as does the Intro to World Religions DSST, but I don't really see what the similarity is between those two courses that makes them fall under Information Literacy, so as a result I'm confused as to what other alternative credit courses might qualify.

I'm assuming that the Study.com Library Science 101 counts, since according to their website it comes into TESU as "LIS-102: Information Literacy"? Any other examples of what can satisfy this requirement? Trying to get a feel for my options.

Yes I can confirm that SDC lib sci 101: information literacy works since that's what I did. It's one of the shortest and easier courses on SDC. I've also heard that most people pass a & I lit clep pretty easily and it's worth 6 credits at tesu. So that is 2 quick, cheap, easy options. No idea about world religions DSST.

Including the exams you mentioned, these are the AltEd courses that fulfill the Information Literacy GenEd requirement at TESU as far as I know...
  • Davar ENG-103 (Information Literacy)
  • Straighterline REL-101 (Introduction to Religion)
  • Study.com Criminal Justice 104 (Intro to Criminology)
  • Study.com English 103 (Analyzing & Interpreting Literature)
  • Study.com Library Science 101 (Information Literacy)
  • Study.com Psychology 105 (Research Methods in Psychology)
  • Study.com Religion 101 (Intro to World Religions)
  • CLEP Analyzing & Interpreting Literature
  • DSST Introduction to World Religions
I expect there may be others as well, but those are ones that I've heard about. It is also possible that not all of them fulfull this requirement now, since some of those were on older posts. When in doubt always pre-plan the courses with advising.
Working on: Debating whether I want to pursue a doctoral program or maybe another master's degree in 2022-23
