I have not experienced very tough grading so far...
If TESU really did care about preparing students for the capstone, than a mandatory university level writing course would make sense.
Anything else is just a pointless money grab, just as the cornerstone was.
They do require the standard college English courses which cover research papers. You should have finished them before trying the capstone. Specifying 100 credits first is surely an attempt to get better prepared students in the capstone courses. Nothing here sounds like a money grab, unless they try to specify a certain number of TESU courses, which they haven't done.
Having graded credit as possibly a requirement based on the wording in the 2019 policy was basically what he was alluding to when creating this thread. Which means either courses at TESU or some other B&M institution.
I don't know about everyone else on here, but I certainly didn't learn a great deal from taking English Comp 1 and 2.
Personally, I learned quite a bit, particularly from English Comp I, but I took the teacher-led version on Straighterline which is more rigorous and has a wider variety of writing assignments.
Working on: Debating whether I want to pursue a doctoral program or maybe another master's degree in 2022-23
