New TESU evaluation and Shmoop equivalencies

[badooble]

Hello, all.  I’ve applied to TESU and just gotten my Academic Evaluation. 

The bad news is the 60 credits I earned in the late 80s did not come in at all – it turns out the technical college I studied at wasn’t regionally accredited at that time.  The good news is that I only have about 34 credits left to go after earning 86 usable credits in the last 6 months or so.  Some of these were from SNHU College for America, which are all listed as grades of ‘A’ on my evaluation. A nice surprise – CfA transcribes the grade as MA (mastery).  The rest are all ACE credits.

My planning spreadsheet is attached if anyone in the community has time to review it for me and see if I need to request any reviews, appeals, or ask to have courses moved.  They all look fine to me, and I think I can complete the requirements in the next few months.

I’d love to find an ‘Easy’ math course to meet the quantitative literacy requirement.  Does anyone know if the Study.com Business Math course qualifies?  It’s only 68 quizzes, and it’s all applied math, which makes a lot more sense to me than other more abstract maths. 

I can also share information about some of the new Shmoop course, including another very pleasant surprise.  The Shmoop Professional Writing course came in as upper level!  I found this to be a pretty easy course – and trust me, I struggled a bit with a few of the Shmoop courses.  It’s listed as “ENG-306 Inter. Tech. Wrtg. & Prof. Wt.”

Some others I don’t remember seeing anyone else post transfer results on yet:

• Shmoop Professional Writing:  ENG-306 Inter. Tech. Wrtg. & Prof. Wt.

• Shmoop Classical Literature:  LIT-299 Special Topics in Literature

• Shmoop History of Technology: HIS-299 Special Topics in History 

• Shmoop Media Literacy: LIT-299 Special Topics in Literature

• Shmoop Journalism 101: JOU-100 Intro to Journalism

One other thing – My Study.com History 108: History of the Vietnam War class came in as Upper Level.  I know this was supposed to change, but I theorize that since I completed the class and submitted my application before December 31 I still get it as UL? Can anyone who’s spoken to TESU confirm that this is the case? If so, I only need one more UL class!       

Thanks for all the great information and motivation to finish my degree! Long time lurker, first time poster!
