super fast/easy COS courses?

[k-k-k-katy]

Any super fast/super easy COS/CAP credits available these days?  Already have Sophia Introduction to Informational Technology and XAMK modules 10-18.  I’m only 4 credits shy of the LS associates in computer science, so I thought I’d at least ask.  RA AND super fast/easy would be a bonus, but not strictly necessary.  For XAMK modules 1-5, on a scale of 1 (as easy as modules 10-18) to 10 (being impossible, I put Module 1 here), how would you rate modules 2-5? Thank you for input!

Have you had the Xamk credits evaluated? It seems like you'd be more than 4 credits short between the 11 ECTS credits and Sophia's Introduction to Information Technology.

Do you already have 9 credits in the "additional electives" section?

These are each one exam and would work in the AOS electives:
Davar Academy's Introduction to Computers is equivalent to COS-101
Davar Academy's Management Information Systems is equivalent to CIS-301
Saylor Academy's Management Information Systems is equivalent to CIS-201

Thank you for responding!  To clarify this is for the ASNSM Computer Science.  Yes, I've had my XAMK credits evaluated and already have the additional electives.  The "what if" shows that I have everything except those 4 credits for the AOS.  I am not really a "computer" person which is why I was wondering about super easy, and my schedule is really crazy right now, so that's why I asked about super fast. How would you rate the above courses compared to XAMK modules 10-18, or Sophia's intro class?   Just so close thought I'd ask... I had been waiting for the TEEX courses but that's not happening very fast.  Has anyone had any luck with XAMK modules 2-5 (see my scale in previous post).

carrythenothing used Davar/Saylor as examples if you are looking for a frugal option, however, if you can splurge a bit more, I would chose two Study.com courses instead. Study.com Comp Sci 105 = TESU COS-204 Operating Systems, BUS 109 = CIS-103 Into to CIS... Then, there is the CLEP/Saylor if you wanted a mix or match approach with the cheapest option of just $5 for 6 credits!

Okay, thanks for clarifying.  Fast and easy would be the only way I could do this (like in a weekend).  Not completely sure I really do have the time to squeeze this in, but I want to at least consider it, being so close.  I haven't done any study.com courses, so I'd have to factor in the learning curve.  I wonder if anyone really has done the XAMK Modules 1-5, and would be willing to share input?  Modules 10-18-type courses would be perfect for me

You might get more feedback from the course's Discord channel, but here is one post: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid351012

Would TECEP CIS-107 Computer Concepts & Applications apply towards area of study ASNSM - computer science?  Would it overlap the Sophia intro course?

[rachel83az]

Yes, the TECEP would overlap with the Sophia course.

The LL AOS courses listed here should be pretty fast: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sa..._Electives

I would probably suggest Business 104: Information Systems and Computer Applications and Computer Science 105: Introduction to Operating Systems. CS 105 is super easy. You should be able to get it done in a weekend or so; it's not that much more difficult than Sophia's Intro to IT. I think that there is some overlap with Business 104, but not entirely sure how much.

[carrythenothing]

Yes, the course/e-Pack/TECEP would duplicate/replace Sophia's course.

Thanks, I'll check those out, appreciate your input!
