TESU Computer Science Degree Plan 9/2020

[Pats20]

So it’s not required to submit the project before signing up for final like the syllabus says?if not I will take some finals.

The final won't officially be graded until you submit the papers/projects. But they don't prevent you from taking the final first and submitting the papers/projects later.

Wow Ok. I didn’t know that. Thanks

You can still see the score, if you know where to look, but on your dashboard it will be marked as "pending" until you submit your assignment(s).

Yeah I have never been able to look back and find my scores, I've just resorted to when the final is over writing down the score that they give me. Is the score on study.com somewhere??

Yeah, I can't find it now because I don't have an active College Accelerator membership but it's listed somewhere within the course. I think you click on the Tests tab and then there is a link to "review for exam" or something like that? It shows you your past exam score(s) and  I can't remember exactly but I think it was bjcheung77 who explained where to find it before.

Thanks for the tip!! I've been searching everywhere for somewhere where to check your exam scores, you need to click "See Study Guide" under the college accelerator exams section.

Update 4 classes left, currently taking my capstone and working on the SDC 306 Computer Architecture Project.
My data Structures assignment got a 93 and I really didn't work too hard on it. Google and Stack overflow are your friends when you run into problems. Just step by step, break down the problem into steps and then just google how to do each step.

https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...ht=SDC+306

I also want to bump up this thread for anyone who is working on the SDC 306 Architecture Project. The previous comments basically say if you score 99% on the quizzes and don't totally bomb the final you can basically just finish half the final project and you'll pass.
That's my plan because this project is the hardest SDC project out there apparently. Databases was pretty easy (I've done a little SQL before) the data structures assignment wasn't too bad (I've done some programming before, and I have 5 friends who work in software who I could ask for help , but this looks like a doozy. I have until the 12th to hand in this assignment but my goal is to finish it this weekend so SDC has time to grade and I can send the transcript with room to spare. I also have a advisor meeting on thursday which is when I will find out whether my linear alegbra coopersmith class will count.... (locked in on my eval in november) haven't started it though, worst case scenario I am just out $200 or whatever. $200 is still $200 but cheap when considering the relative cost.


Anyways I am going to follow the thread above for advice on the SDC 306 assignment, if anyone else has taken that assignment and found any good resources on building a CPU in logism or has any advice please let me know

One more small update, TESU Advising has approved my Linear Alegbra from coopersmith, I am not totally out of the woods yet because I haven't completed the course yet and they could always deny the credit at the last second... but it's a good sign that they will honor the credit right now. I think I am going to wait until after my capstone to work on my computer architecture course so I can focus on the capstone. I might try and do Straighterline calculus If I could possibly knock it out without too much effort, it is open book soo... The reason I would try to maybe finish it while working on my capstone is because TESU advising told me that the straighterline calculus credit is getting reviewed by ACE on April 30th.....

Hope this information helps

I'm going to start the SL calculus tonight.  We'll see how it goes.

I started the Capstone in February, the toughest part is just figuring out the thesis format and deciding what to write about.  You doing any other TESU courses besides the Capstone?

Good luck! Nope the only TESU class I am doing is the capstone, so my GPA will be determined by two classes, the capstone I did for my previous TESU degree, and this capstone, I got an 4.0 in my last capstone so I am aiming to repeat that this time. High stakes so I am going to wait to work on Linear Alegbra and my Computer Architeture project until after the capstone is over (May 23rd) but I am going to try to knock out SDC Calculus because I have an extra exam try still available to me so I am going to try and steam roll through the quizzes and take a shot in the dark at the exam. If i get a 99% on the quizzes like I normally do, I only need a 55 on the exam to pass. I will also need to buy another month of study.com membership to finish my architecture assignment so I will have two additionally shots to pass calculus on SDC, If I fail all three of my exam trys I can always just take the SL exam. Even though the class is getting reviewed by ACE on April 30th It will probably get renewed. 

I am potentially giving myself only one shot at the linear alegbra exam which is apparently hard, you can only take the exam one time every three months so if I take it in june or july I will not have another shot before August 1st deadline for september graduation, but if I graduate in december it really doesn't matter. 

Let me know how your capstone and SL calculus goes!

Straighterline calculus finished.
Only two classes remaining.
Project for Computer Architecture 306
and Linear Alegbra from Coopersmith, I am still nervous that I will take this class and they will deny me the credit , but no way to find out for sure
