Has anyone ever tested out of English Composition I and/or II? I have a Bachelor's degree in English and think it's absurd that I have to test out of a freshman course. Has anyone ever taken either one (the ASE) and passed? Let me know. Thanks!

Why do you have to CLEP? Can't they take one of your previous English classes as credit? I have a BS in BioChemistry and was given credit for general chemistry.

Nope. According to both the English department and the RN-BSN department, since none of my classes were formal writing classes, I have to take both classes or test out. Even though I would not have a BA in English if I couldn't write properly.

This school is already annoying me and I'm barely in. ?

I only have to take one english class. I took ENGL1302, Rhetoric and Composition II last spring and it was not a hard class. We chose a topic that was important to use and wrote several different assignments on the same topic. It was a very enjoyable class. I know that isn't the point of this thread, but at the same time I have no idea how one could test out of a writing class.

They have it through the testing center and you write (for 1301) a response to an article by first summarizing it and then writing about a similar topic. For 1302, you write an argumentative essay. They are graded by the freshman professors. You can't take the test for 1302 until you you pass 1301.

For $35, I'd rather just take the essay exams and spend a day in Dallas than sit through extra classes that I know I don't need.

Hey Lovelymo79 I sent you a PM regarding Scott and Smith. If you have a moment could you shoot me a response, that would be very rad of you.
