Why Charter Oak State College is better than Thomas Edison State College

[KittenMittens]

Unlike you, I actually gave meaningful information for the forum members. I point out which TECEPs were easy and advantages of passing them through ProctorU. Your writing is just argument for the sake of argument. It is obvious for everybody but you.

I can't take you or your response seriously when you fail to address the other aspects of the TECEPs you speak of. You took a TECEP in a 100 level college math exam and an introductory/basic "college applications" exam - these are exceptions to the "rule." Those are not the types of TECEPs that are representative of them as a whole. If you read even an iota of what I wrote, the TECEPs I'm talking about basically require one to read a textbook from cover to cover. I didn't realize I'd need to spell everything out to every little detail, but like Sanantone you're just arguing over trivial details. The general idea with the majority of TECEPs is that you have to read a textbook from cover to cover. Clearly with a entry level math course, there are far less concepts, and ideas tested - you either know basic math or you don't. In a knowledge and memory based exam, which is what most of the TECEPs are like, you can't get away with it unless you're a real scholar in the field (which none of us are).

Try doing the TECEP in Finance, Accounting, Strategic Management, Federal Income Taxation, Network Technology, Music History II, or any other upper level exam and see how likely you are to pass it "without studying." You haven't made a strong argument at all. To do the "per credit" plan as Sanantone recommends, you'd need to do another 6 TECEPs (which you never did), and good luck finding another 6 TECEPs that are straightforward and don't require you to read a textbook. Also, a student will likely want to take TECEPs that fulfill degree requirements under the per credit plan to minimize costs.

Now, feel free to respond to any of these points if you wish. If you don't understand a point I've made, you're welcome to reread any of the previous posts in this multiple post page; my answer will likely be in one of them.

As far as your opinion on whose arguing and not, I'd say that you, and the frequent users here some of which are on here each and every day with thousands of posts are not my intended audience. I frankly don't care what some forum "regulars" think, so far, the majority of arguments have lacked any substance besides vitriol (and when there's harsh feedback it usually means you're hitting a sensitive spot) - because they're typically very biased, and entrenched "in their ways" and have a vested interested in "proving they are right" whether it be for their perceived reputation from anonymous strangers, or for some other pathological reason.

Best of luck to you.
