TESU Public Speaking / Sociology / College Writing 1+2 alternatives

[zolpgree]

Hello,

What is the recommended easiest way to get these credits (TESU Public Speaking / Sociology / College Writing 1+2 alternatives) without having to go through all the touchstones from their equivalent sophia courses?

Is there a way to test out of these 4? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

CLEP for English Comp I & II but if you are an international student you can't take CLEPs most likely. 

Study.com Presentation Skills in the Workforce for Public Speaking

According to the study.com TESU list of equivalencies, it doesn't show Presentation Skills == TESU Public Speaking. Is it still safe though? Many people had success with this equivalency?

Thanks for the reply!

Using SDC's Presentation Skills worked for me in 2021. Transferred as Communications 290 Presentational Speaking and was placed in the Gen Ed category for oral communication.
TESU Public Speaking is not the only course that can be used for that Gen Ed requirement. It is just one option. And in my case, it was easier for TESU to use the SDC Presentation Skills for the gen ed oral communication than it was for them to accept a community college public speaking course in that category. weird but how it went. (The community college course ended up in the "area of study" instead. )

DSSTs seem to be online and open to everyone now. So possibilities include:

Presentation Skills @ Study.com for Oral Communications
Study.com OR Sophia OR TECEP for English Comp I. Sophia isn't the worst for English Comp I. It's English Comp II where things get really bad.
Principles of Advanced English Composition DSST (multiple choice)

English Comp I and II are basically done already, I'm just waiting for their respective gradings. I have done 90% of the required coursework already.
How hard/extensive is the Public Comms from sophia? Is Presentation Skills @ study that much easier? Seems like I'll have to pay another month to Sophia just to be able to get all coursework graded, so essentially Public Comms would come for free, unless it's a nightname to go through it.

Presentation Skills @ SDC takes maybe a weekend. Public Speaking @ Sophia has multiple assignments and you are not supposed to do assignment 2 until assignment 1 has been graded, etc. You could well wind up having to pay for another month or two just for Public Speaking to be graded.
