A little help understanding TESC

[mrs.b]

Chemistry with lab is usually going to be 4 semester credits, and of not then five- it should only be three if it's without a lab. At any rate, unless you are specifically told you need a lab, it's just the number of credits you need.

Just a side note - if you decide to go for the "with lab" to earn the 4 credits, those additional credits can carry into elective categories to avoid another course (three or more courses with lab is a class you do not have to take). I transferred in five courses with labs, two of which met the Pre-calculus and General Chemistry requirements, and the two additional credits from those courses are marked as an !!Exception under my General Ed Elects, reducing the total needed from 21 to 19. The other three courses make up 12 of those Gen Ed Eles, so I only needed 7 credits to finish that section out.

Edit - Below is the relevant snippet from my evaluation:

> Take 3 semester hours of Quantitative Business Analysis or
> Precalculus. Students who have completed College Algebra
> should take MAT-129 to avoid duplication of credit.
