I do have on question about TESU. Is it possible to get credit for written communication based on the higher level English classes I took?
The logic is this:
At UW Madison somehow I got them to waive all English 10 level courses. I can't remember if it was the result of AP tests or something else. My transcript from them does say English 101, English 118 requirements satisfied although it doesn't list any credits for those.

I jumped right into an intermediate level English course on Modern Literature. English 207, Modern Lit, required you to read a pretty intense book every 2 weeks and turn in 5 page papers analyzing the novel as well as a 10 page paper for the final project.
Over the course of 14 weeks a student generates around 45 pages of written material which is all judged based on proper grammar, composition, proper use of APA citations, and all of the other concepts from English 101.
It required English 101 as a prerequisite. In other words, if you didn't know how to write well there would be no way to pass any 200 level English courses at UW Madison.

I tried to argue this point with a local community college and they kept on saying it didn't matter that I passed English 207 which required 100 level English as a prerequisite. i honestly feel that if you can pass 200 level English courses you've obviously mastered the learning outcomes for the lower level courses.

If someone passed Calculus for example, you wouldn't question their knowledge of arithmetic. Why are schools so critical of English classes? I'm sure I'm not the first person to bring it up, but I feel like the schools act like these were multiple choice trivia classes on literature and not writing classes, which they were.

Thanks in advance for any insight on this.

It sounds like you got PLACED higher for the school you went too. I'd look into how you were waived from English Comp I/II and see if TESU will apply the same waiver. I think if you have 6 credits in Written Comp style classes they wouldn't have an issue with it?? Hopefully dfrecore will chime in seems to be a fountain of knowledge when it comes to TESU.
