<p>I transferred from one college to another college in the same state and the intro to computers showed up as Intro to programing. First I talk to an adviser and they tell me to call the records office. They tell me they can’t do anything about the transfer. Then I talk to the head of the department and they just said my only choice was to test out of it. They would not tell me what was going to be on the test besides that it should test me on the course description.</p>
<p>Well it had nothing from the course description at all and looked like it was designed in the early to mid 90’s, no joke. I failed the test and I am damn good with computers… I run Ubuntu, Vista and OSX. Along with knowledge in using MS-DOS and unix.</p>
<p>I really don’t think I should have to pay to take an intro computer class when I already had taken it at another college in state. (They said everything transfers in state) Especially when the CLEP is ********… It is so old and out of date no one can pass it. And I use to work for the school IT department.</p>
<p>Can you get a letter from the Professor who taught the Intro to Computers course? It doesn’t have to be anything personal, just something saying “Tiako Blahblah was a student in my Introduction to Computers course in (whatever semester you took the course). This student passed my class with (insert your letter grade here).” Blah blah blah, just a letter saying that you are in good standing with the class and that you successfully passed. Then get a copy of the syllabus and any work you did and show all of it to the head of the department OR the dean of the school the department is in.</p>
<p>One of my friends had to do this to get out of an intro course for my major. NYU almost rejected the class just because the name was something stupid, while the material nearly identical to the class that NYU wanted her to take. She had to escalate it all the way to the dean of our school division, because taking this course would have set her back a whole semester for graduation.</p>
<p>I can get a letter from the professor that I am great with computers if she is still teaching. I took this class years ago and got an A. One of the first classes I took.</p>
<p>But I have already talked to the head of the department and they just said only two ways…They didn’t care if I could prove it or not… Just that the numbers don’t match for the course.</p>
<p>1) Take the test
2) Take the class…</p>
<p>They didn’t seem to care if I could prove I am great with computers and just kept saying it was more than being good with computers but about research…</p>
<p>I find this really annoying because I have 46/60 credits and to say that I need a class on using email and “research” is ugh.</p>
