Looking for some advice before applying to TESC/TESU - davewill - 07-05-2016
Archer Wrote:As we have a week or so to decide please return with your feedback, I've still not decided which I'll take. Probably SOWH but I still need to double check if that'd end up doubling up on other credits from my CC.
In other news, final term starts tomorrow. Still need to test out of 9 credits I think... Halfway through public comm, probably just going to take a week off work and blow through Microbio/Comm (that's 6 credits) on SL. Ready to be done. Has anybody taken Operating Systems? It's that and the capstone this term.
Operating Systems was my one B. The midterm tripped me up. It was 8 essay questions with a 2hr time limit rather than the usual 3hrs most TESU exams had. I got tripped up thinking I had one less question than there was and took too much time on the first two. Plus the annoyance that the way TESU exams are structured, you can't revisit a section once you leave it... And essay questions are one per section.

Then they got pissed and closed your ticket! hilarious

I finished Software Engineering with a B, hated that class. Who did you have for Operating Systems? That midterm sounds horrible.

Hitting deadline on free class, anybody else have input on the history vs. it fundamentals? Still uncertain, I think IT fundamentals may be best just to make it easier to pass. History might be better designed though.

Does anybody know the quickest single credit I can pick up? I've taken the TEEX stuff + NFA creds. I'm short .3 credit in my plan and they won't waive it. Suggesting TES-100 cornerstone because they say it can be completed in a single day.

How about the Medical Technology TECEP? It's one credit. Would be cheaper than doing TES-100.

Comfortable with math? Maybe there's an ALEKS course you haven't used in your plan yet that you can pick up for $20 (if done under a month). It'd be 3 credits, but the overage won't hurt.
This would probably be a long shot, but someone else here said they were able to complete a Shmoop.com history course in one day during their free trial, so there's three credits for free. If you do it in a more reasonable time but stay under a month, it'll still only cost $25

Saylor's Intro to Sociology (1 credit) and Intro to Psychology (2 credits) are only $25.

Even if it could be completed in a single day, if you registered now, you'd pay a late reg fee, and couldn't start until September 1.
Besides jsd's suggestions of ALEKS and Shmoop: have you taken the Free Insurance Ethics course? How about a Saylor course (Sociology, Intro to business)? Last choice (only because of cost): something from SL.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll look into Saylor and Shmoop. I did take the insurance ethics course and they counted it as a duplicate of Straighterline's ethics class. Has anybody had it register as anything else?
