So I previously posted about my frustration with a seeming trend of mentors becoming less engaged. This current question is related to the current mentor situation, where my mentor has given virtually no feedback. On the one hand, I’m not complaining: I’ve received 100 on every single assignment so far (the entire course except for the final paper and presentation). But feedback from my mentor throughout the project has been non-existent, outside of compliments like “beautiful work” and “thanks for sharing your project with me.” Based on the quality of work from other students in the class, I suspect I’m near or at the top of the class (well, lol, I guess no students are higher) but I’ve been half tempted to submit shoddier work just to see if the grade drops at all. Oh, and this mentor has never commented on discussion boards other than general announcements like this one, that dropped the other day after students submitted their presentation:

“Dear writers, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you all for sharing your amazing presentations. I am so impressed with your work, and I am so impressed with your thoughtful feedback to your classmates. It has been wonderful watching your work develop this term!”

I mean, really. I’m the only student as far as I can tell that has even tried to leave meaningful feedback on the presentations; the other students are writing almost exclusively positive, vague feedback, much of which is no doubt AI generated. 

So in light of this, my question is this: how the heck are these students going to actually generate 25-40 page papers, per course requirements? Perhaps they aren’t but they won’t be docked enough for it to tank their grade too far? Many of their shared thesis topics seem hard to justify that kind of length, too. How about this: “AI and algorithms influence the way users engage online.” And no, the discussion comments and final presentation from this student barely got more specific than this (the presentation was also half the required time). It seems like a half-baked idea drudged up from concepts taught in the Information Literacy class. No actual research is cited, just statements like “the research shows” without any specific examples. I wish there was a way to see class average grades; are such students’ grades suffering? 

Anyway, I got out of TESU what I came for: I’m an adult student who was able to work at this degree while still working and am accepted into a far superior grad school this fall, which was the whole goal anyway. Still, I can barely believe the standards here are as low as they seem to be, because it sure looks like TESU is charging students thousands of dollars to do all their work on their own, pat them on the back regardless of their work quality, and hope their degree means something in the end. 

Hello! I have just received my acceptance to the TESU ABSN Bayada Scholars Track Fall 2026 cohort and I am creating this post to connect with others who have been accepted and will be in the same cohort!

I wanted to come on here to ask is it really possible to transfer in 114 credits and only need 6 credits through the school?

Context I have

76 credits from community college / 4 year institution
36 between Sophia and study.com

Is it truly possible? I simply would try and get a bachelor of liberal studies as I just want to finish the fastest degree possible. Will they evaluate unofficial transcripts? Or do they have to be official ?

Someone I know is graduating from TESU this year and I would like to give them a frame for their diploma. Can anyone who has gotten a paper diploma let me know what the size of the document is? I don’t want to ask them because I was hoping it would be a small surprise gift. Thank you!

As the title asks,

Wanted to know how friendly/generous TESU is with their Sophia transfer credits?

Trying to graduate early and cheaper, advice from someone who’s done would go a long way with me!

Hey, I wanted to ask if anyone here is studying/studied any of the ABET accredited engineering bachelors at TESU and was able to transfer many credits from Sophia / Study.com / StraighterLine to shorten the duration to around 2 years

I’m looking at joining one of them if I’d be able to transfer in atleast around 60 credits (note that I already have 26 credits from mechanical engineering freshman year at RIT)

Would appreciate some guidance!

Hey all. Quick question! For those who graduated, did you have to wait until you got your diploma in the mail after the graduation set date before you applied to jobs, or was the diploma available after your last term?

anyone else having trouble logging in to Moodle? I have assignments due in 2 hours and can't ge the page to open on mobile or desktop.... I checked a few "is Moodle up" sites and they say its working fine, so, is it just me?

Edit: Just got the 502 bad gateway prompt, so assuming they're having server issues... booooooo
