Adjusting to classes after clepping?

I wanted to piggy-back on the advice here and say that I think TESC still puts the course syllabus online for you to preview before registering. If this option is still available, you can check what kind of assignments will make up your score. Eg. a course where 50% of the grade comes from the mid-term and 50% from the final would not be one "I" would register for, on the other hand, doing 25 little assignments that are 4% each would be too much busy work for me. I like a balance, but what each person likes will differ.
P.S. I've never taken a class with a group project except back in 1990 in culinary school- it was one big restaurant development project, but as for my other credits, no. I've done undergrad and grad work at schools besides where I've earned my degree also, so I think I've gotten lucky. I don't think I'd choose a course with a group project.
