Hi!
I'm looking for courses that fulfill the Oral Communication requirement at TESU.
What I already know
SL Intro to Communications
TCC Introduction to Public Speaking
Looking for other options, preferably without a speaking part. I absolutely hate that and if possible would want to avoid. Anyone have suggestions? From colleges perhaps?
CLEP and DSST are not an option.
Thanks so much!
Goal: BA/BS in Psychology
Credit Sources
Straighterline
Aleks
Study.com
Kaplan

I did mine via Straighterline and I can't imagine there being an easier way - especially if you hate or fear public speaking. You record videos on your webcam and upload them to YouTube. When someone from SL reviews them and you get credit, you delete them. They might get two views. Two of my three videos had one single view (according to the YouTube counter) when I got credit.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.

Great suggestion with Straighterline kb4ns1. The process is really straight forward:
Record the video as many times as needed to feel comfortable about it.
Upload it as 'unlisted' and Youtube provides a provide link. This way you are literally only sharing with the grader.
Delete file after grading has been posted.
You will do amazing!!!

Unfortunately, the
ORAL Communication requirement includes
speaking. That IS the requirement. You can't get out of it. Any course you take for this requirement must have some element of speaking in front of people or in front of a camera to count. I think the camera is a MUCH better option for those who don't want to stand up in front of people.

I'm doing the SL course now. I did my first video last night. I completed all the exams except for the final today. 2 more videos and final exam wraps me up. There are only three videos and the first isn't graded. My struggle is taking the time to write out what I'm going to say. I'm 47 years old and I don't really care about the video part. 20 years ago I'd have been all nervous. Now? Meh
