Tesc BA Natural Science Math (Upper credit)

Obviously, no one is reading my thread. I already listed the ECE for Microbiology, DSST MIS, and the TECEP for Networking. Why did I spend hours trying to help people if they aren't even going to bother with reading the thread?

IrishJohn:
I listed a ton of science tests that could possibly be transcribed as UL in the thread I linked to! Forget it. I might as well ask Shoto to delete the whole thing. I'll just make plans for myself from now on.

I can understand if someone just didn't click on the link, but some of the people here are already aware of the thread.

the thread you linked to is over 6 months old

so much could have changed by then

I think the thread should be deleted
why should anyone make plans based on possibly out of date information

... No one has confirmed that the network TECEP is counted as computer science. If they can, they can give feedback in the thread.

A lot of people don't read the Wiki either and it's not exactly easy to navigate for someone who is a complete newbie. That's why we still get questions on here that are answered in the wiki. My thread won't be lost if it's made into a sticky. I doubt people would even bother to read my signature. No one has confirmed that the network TECEP is counted as computer science. If they can, they can give feedback in the thread.

Well that's up to you. Just remember though that we were all newbies at one point. People will always be coming onto this forum after hearing about it or stumbling across it and then proceed to ask questions that will seem to us to have been asked a thousand times already. By suggesting putting these at DF Wiki I think it would be easier to answer them with a link straight to where they are posted there. Some folks once there will take the time to explore the Wiki and perhaps will find answers to other questions they may have as well, or just find something else that interests them.

In fairness, anything posted on here by anyone should be taken with a grain of salt. It is the responsibility of the student to verify for themselves that the information they receive here is accurate, not outdated, etc. The best way to do this is by checking with the school they intend to finish their degree at. This forum, as well as DF Wiki, are merely guides using tips from veterans here to point newbies in the right direction as best as possible from our own experience as well as to give them some ideas on options they may not have been aware of. That's all.

i didn't overlook at your thread.
as i mention in my op, i'm currently taking microbiology from my community college. (wouldn't ece for microbiology be a duplicate?)
and i'm currently considering the exam you have listed.

thanks again.

Not necessarily. I do not know for sure in your case here, but I can give two examples from my own experience:

1. I took a Civil War class at the CC which TESC counted as HIS-235. The DSST exam, which covered virtually the same material as the class I took, was counted as HIS-252.

2. I took HIS-310 The Middle East at TESC. The DSST exam Introduction to the Modern Middle East TESC counted as being HIS-309. Again, virtually the same material for both.

That's 12 credits for really 6 credits of material.

You may have a similar situation here with microbiology, which is why I'd strongly suggest checking with TESC to be certain. The ECE might give you 3 extra credits even though you're taking the class at the CC.

good to know i will definitely check with tesc on that matter.
then what about the microbiology from straighterline??

also another question :
1. i just saw that 80 credit is max transfer credit allowed from cc.
so i'm assuming that ace credit and fema credit is a separate matter?

2. did anyone take New york University Proficiency Testing in Foreign Language. (how does this work? upto 16 credits)
does this count as a humanities course?

thank you again

My guess would be that SL's course would duplicate the one you are taking at the CC. However, since I'm just speculating here I would still check with TESC to be sure. Who knows? You could get 3-4 extra credits out of it. Or not.

Yes. You could transfer all the credits you need for a bachelor's and be awarded a degree at TESC. The exception now would be if a capstone is required for your major, which you'd have to take through TESC. Everything else though you can transfer in if you want to. Here's a link showing the max limits for different types of transfer credit: Transfer Credit

2. did anyone take New york University Proficiency Testing in Foreign Language. (how does this work? upto 16 credits)

I didn't take this myself, but it should count as humanities credits.

You obviously didn't read the thread either since I posted revisions a few days ago. All I did was correct a couple of mistakes I made, added clarification, and added the liberal arts capstone. In the past 6 months, not much has changed. I would say that more than 95% of the course equivalencies and requirements have stayed the same at TESC since I enrolled in the summer of 2011. I used information from threads that were a few years old to plan my own degree. Of course, I tried to verify the information with TESC, but there were times where the advisor was in disagreement and wrong and the people on this forum were right. If information older than 6 months is not okay, then there is really no reason for this forum to exist. Most of the advice given here is based on people's experiences from several months to several years ago. It doesn't take much time or effort to update the thread or update the plans.

But why just single out my thread? Why not say that the Degreeforum Wiki and its thread should be deleted? After all, the personal degree plans people post on there will never be updated to reflect current changes. If I were to post the plan I used, it will always be from 2011.

You didn't prove anything with those links. I wanted to know if CMP would be considered a computer science course. Some computer course codes aren't accepted for computer science or computer information systems. CAP comes to mind for computer information systems. CMP does stand for computer science technology, but it's not straight computer science. Those courses have a different code. I just want to hear from someone who has used this test for the natural science or computer science degree before I remove the question mark. Even using it as a general education requirement would suffice. TESC can be quite picky about these things, especially when it comes to theory vs. applied and I don't want to mislead anyone.

Let me give a real life example of how picky TESC can be. I had transferred two courses that were coded AOJ by TESC: Fundamentals of Criminal Law and Court Systems and Practices. The former was considered a social science and the latter wasn't. TESC has three homeland security courses that fulfill the social science requirement. I transferred in a course with the same homeland security prefix and it was considered too applied to be a social science.

My mentioning of Microbiology was in response to someone who was wondering about the ECE.

I always find the thread easily by using the search function and then I link to it. It doesn't matter if the thread is several pages back.
