Okay to start Python 101

[LevelUP]

I recently completed my Sophia Calculus course. I have about 3 weeks left on my account and would like to use the rest of the time to complete "Intro to Python Programming" to satisfy my TESU BA CS Intro Programming requirement. On the Wiki, they recommend clearing with an academic advisor before you transfer it. I can't meet with an academic counselor until Dec 10th (6 days from now) which cuts into my valuable subscription at Sophia.

Is it okay to start Intro to Python Programming at Sophia before getting cleared by a TESU counselor? I would prefer to not pay another $99 to Sophia and knock out both courses in one month.

Thank you in advance for the advice.

EDIT: I was reading this thread: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...rogramming

It seems LevelUp and others recommend SDC instead of Sophia because of the layover with Data Structures. If that's true, then I may just start SDC and leave Sophia at Calculus. What are your all thoughts on this?

All I need to Comp Sci core at TESU and 6 UL electives to graduate. Getting familiar with SDC may make more sense.

You can email advising, and they will get back to you within 24 hours. Be sure to include your student ID and major. Let them know you want to "plan" to take that Sophia course, and they'll add it to your evaluation if it meets the requirement.

You can also take the SDC Intro to Programming course for free—just don't take the exam, and you won't have to pay for it. This is a good option if you want to complete the course or simply review some of the material.

Ultimately, the choice is yours.
