Obviously someone stole my identity, but until now I've had a tough time getting a hold of that tenant report with out dishing out money and having to go through the court system to figure it all out. In the first page I read through on the Info. Literacy course, it gave a website to check your tenant history, and dispute information. I guess for me the $250 wasn't so bad after all.  |
I would also agree that the course has some useful stuff in it. I cringed when I was told that a 3 credit General Studies course from U of Phoenix Online, a 4 credit course from SUNY titled "Educational Planning", and several term papers that I had previously done would not satisfy the requirement (even though they both had alot of the same info!). After completing Info Lit, I have to say that I did learn some things that I didn't learn from the other courses. But with that said, I still think $250 is a bit steep for the course. Anyway, it's a school requirement, and if we want the paper- ya gotta' do it!
