interesting info on TESC website
#1
So, let me apologize in advance for not knowing how to link you to where I'm reading from. You can go there yourself by going to TESC dot edu, type in "Straighterline" in the search function box and read the second resource. It's a power point pdf. (which has nothing to do with SL)

Slide 23:
a graph showing breakdown of Charter Oak graduates for this past year. They graduated 310 students, only 176 took ONE OR MORE credit by exam tests! The average credit earned by THOSE students was 17.64 credits.

So, the assumption that everyone is testing out of their entire degree is flat wrong! In fact, only half are even taking a test! I completed 4 terms of classes at TESC ranging from 2-4 classes each term, and I'd shared before that in "my" classes (and the student forums) there were VERY FEW students using credit by exam methods. I know a few others here have shared similar experiences. I remember one member "L" said the person near her at graduation even criticized allllllll her testing credit.

I wanted to share this because it gives a tiny bit of data to support the experience of some of us who really felt like most students who attend the big 3 are -in fact- traditionally completing a degree. This is important because sometimes there is the presumption that if you enroll at one of the big 3, you're automatically categorized to be a "test-outter" or some other label that seems unsavory. So, this is good news!
