COS 101 Onlinedegree.com

I was wondering on onlinedegree.com does cos 101 transfer to tesu as COS 111? I also wanted to ask are all the exams on their site a one attempt only on the final?

Yes, it should transfer to TESU as COS-111 Intro to Programming. As for how many attempts you're allowed, I'm not sure. I think someone mentioned that you can retake the exams, but I'm not 100% sure about that.

You only get 1 attempt on the final. If you fail the course, then your only option is to ask to have the course reset.

The scoring is 50% for quizzes (they kick out 2 worst scores), 10% free points (participation), 40% final exam. So if you can average 80% on the quizzes, you only need a 50% on the final to pass.

Print out all the quizzes you take so you can use them to study for the final. Of course, they'll never tell you the correct answer if you miss some questions, so study the concepts. 

The 1st video of all the lessons is the only one that matters.  The rest of the videos mainly repeat the info from the 1st video, and I have never seen questions from the 2nd,3rd,4th videos used for quiz questions.

The timer (mark complete) is browser-based. You can see the time remaining by clicking f12 in chrome, then click on the pointer to highlight the "mark complete" button to see the time remaining.  It helps if you have another Sophia/Study.com course open while waiting for the mark complete button to appear.

OnlineDegree has the best videos out of any alternative course providers that I have seen.  The main drawback is the time to go through the courses, so I don't recommend OnlineDegree unless you are doing courses for fun or have a deep interest in a topic.
