  Spanish I on Sophia
Posted by: DavidGood - 07-10-2024, 08:02 PM - Forum: Saylor.org, Straighterline, Study.com, Sophia.Org, Coursera Discussion - Replies (11)

This class is killing me. 

Does anyone have any advice on third-party apps, websites, YouTube channel, etc. to help me get a more immersive experience in Spanish. I have no opportunity to talk to anybody in this language and I refuse to crash and burn in this class.

I am trying to get another chunk of credit transfers before oct start date at UMPI. Unfortunately, for me, this is not a class I can blast through.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

  B.S Bio to B.A Psych
Posted by: fthlee08 - 07-10-2024, 01:49 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (10)

So a year after my original post https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-Incomplete-BS-to-hopefully-CJ-BA
I finally got my official transcript and I have decided to get my B.A in Psychology. I have looked on the TESU website and the degree plans but they are very confusing. I can repost my transcript courses if needed but I would love someone to help me breakdown how to move forward. My job has a discount with Bright Horizon so I prefer TESU over UMPI and WGU is too expensive. Also my GPA is 1.7.


Pretty pretty please give me the most affordable option Big Grin

  Pierpont to WGU Accelerated IT
Posted by: KnowledgeQuest - 07-10-2024, 01:43 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (1)

Hello! 

This is my second time making a post like this, the below will be adjusted accordingly.

Your Location: California, USA
Your Age: 34
What kind of degree do you want?: Information Technology
Budget: No budget but would still like to spend as little as possible or close to it.
Commitments: My spouse and dog, I work part time from home.
Dedicated time to study: My 3 day work at home job is very slow-paced. I have as much time as needed to study during those 3 days and limited hours at night/weekends.
Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as fast as possible would be ideal.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: No.

Current Regional Accredited Credits:
Folsom Lake Community College
ANTH 310 Cultural Anthropology, 3 Units, C Grade

Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits:
Sophia Credits: 6
Intro to IT, 3, 93%
Intro to Web Development, 3, 96%

Any certifications or military experience?
Coursera:
Google Project Management Professional Certificate
Google IT Support Professional Certificate - In progress

I've been wanting to do this for a long time and I thought I was finally ready and life threw me a major curveball but that has since been resolved. I'm ready to try again, I managed to complete 2 courses on Sophia and a certificate on Coursera. I'm halfway done with the Google IT Support Certificate and I'm trying to make my way through it quickly, before the CA State Library Program is over. I plan on working my way through what I can on Coursera before moving back over to Sophia and starting some Gen Eds.

I've made a degree plan, linked below, any feedback is greatly welcomed. I had a couple of questions noted in the comments. I've done a large amount of research and couldn't find the answers to all my questions. I originally made this plan back in January but have since adjusted it. Any help is much appreciated.

  Closed Sophia Courses
Posted by: BritStudent - 07-10-2024, 01:08 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (5)

I've had a search but I can't find any relevant posts - I remember receiving emails from Sophia in the last month or two to say that some courses were being retired, but can't seem to find them - get far too much spam from Sophia!

Does anyone know which courses have been retired recently or are retiring soon?

Thanks in advance.

  Does any institution apply over 90 transfer credits?
Posted by: hlg38 - 07-10-2024, 12:32 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (7)

Hey, everyone. It's been a few years since I've popped on here!

I know many colleges and universities allow you to transfer 90+ credits. However, I'm wondering if any allow the application of over 90 credits to a degree.

I'm curious about the following scenarios

  • Applying over 90 college/university credits I've already earned
  • Applying 90 credits, but also allowing the completion/transfer of Sophia, Study.com, etc. credits on top of the initial 90
I get it - most schools want their chunk of change, so I know all institutions will require some classes to be completed through them.

Thanks!

  Using Edx MicroBachelors for Information Literacy
Posted by: Frederico.Sandoval - 07-10-2024, 12:09 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (2)

Hi guys! 

I am currently in the process of doing a double major at TESU for Computer Science and Mathematics. To fulfill the information literacy requirement, I was looking at the edx microbachelor's, but saw that it was only available for the computer science major. Will it be a problem in my case? 

I am also open to the possibility of doing a bachelor in biology a few years from now, after I complete the double major. Will the microbachelor be valid in that case?

Thanks for the advice!

  Kindle Reader for Mac
Posted by: ss20ts - 07-09-2024, 11:50 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (3)

I thought this might be a good place to ask. Does anyone know of a voice reader for the Kindle app on Mac or iPhone? Reading 40+ page chapters of less than thrilling material gets to be drab. I would love if I could basically have an audiobook experience with my textbooks.

Wink Graduate Application and ACE Transcripts
Posted by: study-warrior21 - 07-09-2024, 11:27 AM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (9)

For those that have ACE credits and have applied to Masters programs, when you submitted your application did you typically list those ACE credits/places where you received ACE credit on your application? 

I am a WGU CS grad and am applying to grad school, but i'm having trouble figuring out whether I should note the places I received ACE credits from. For example, I know I have to list all colleges and sources of credit that are on my transcript, however Sophia.org and Study.com are not "universities" and thus they do not grant college credit. However, they do show on my transcripts and thus I know I need to provide them.

I do want my transcripts considered though as some of the necessary prereqs were taken there. I just don't know if I should list them under Colleges/Universities previously attended OR if I should avoid listing them but still provide their individual transcripts.
