EdX for-credit courses starting soon (math & programming) - txnicole - 05-15-2017
EdX has a couple of course sets that are eligible for college credit, and they're starting up again.
The first set is the 3 math courses they have which are ACE credit eligible. Each one only costs $49 to enroll in the 'verified certificate' option, and transfers to ACE normally if passed. Each math course (according to ACE) is 3 credits upper level math.

The series ran last year and is restarting tomorrow with the first course...
Introduction to Differential Equations - starts May 16, 2017
Linear Differential Equations - Start date not announced yet
Nonlinear Differential Equations - Start date not announced yet
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The second set are the 3 programming courses they have which are eligible for credit in coordination with Charter Oak.
You pay for the verified certificate option, and if you decide to request Charter Oak credit for the course, you pay $100 per credit you want to transfer.

The 3 courses are these:
Agile Development Using Ruby on Rails - Basics - starts May 16, 2017 (2 credit course, $99 for the verified certificate)
Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Using Python - starts May 29, 2017 (3 credit course, $49 for the verified certificate)
Agile Development Using Ruby on Rails - Advanced - starts July 10, 2017 (2 credit course, $99 for the verified certificate)

Warning:
The Charter Oak edX credits are not useful for anyone other than COSC degree seekers since they come into COSC as transfer credit rather than COSC's own credits. I am not aware of any way to launder these credits. This means you won't be able to use any of the credits outside of COSC. You can't use it at TESU (or pretty much anywhere else outside of COSC).
On the other hand, the edX math courses are useful because many schools will accept ACE credits on a ACE transcript.

Are you sure about those coming in as transfer credit and not usable for transfer to TESU? It says on the edx website that COSC is awarding the credit, not the originating institution.

Does Ed-X have a proctored final or just "upload a picture of yourself and ID"?

There is no originating institution if you're referring to a school. EdX is the course provider rather than the university that designed the course. COSC is awarding credit without any third party evaluation. When TESU awarded credits for FEMAs, they were external credits. I asked TESU a year or two ago if they would accept the EdX courses from a COSC transcript, and they said no. TESU said that the evaluation of the EdX courses are outside of the cooperation agreement they have with COSC and other schools.

EdX has announced the start dates for the full sequence in differential equations.
Intro to Differential Equations (May 16, 2017) - the only fixed date in this class is the midterm, otherwise you can submit all problem sets and the final anytime up until the end of the course. The deadline to apply for the verified certificate (in order to get ACE credit) is July 15. - runs 9 weeks. (3 credits) $49
Linear Differential Equations (August 1, 2017) - runs 8 weeks. (3 credits) $49
Nonlinear Differential Equations (October 3, 2017) - runs 5 weeks. (3 credits) $49
If anyone is looking at a math degree, this is DEFINITELY something to take ASAP...9 math credits?!

isn't the $49 just for an edx certificate ?
if you want cosc credit its $300

The verified certificate is good for the Differential Equations (3 classes) ACE Alternative Credit Project credits, which TESU will take, all 3 = 9 credits. I don't know how/if the DE classes fit in at COSC. (Isn't it just the programming classes that are COSC-specific?)

The 9cr of UL is for TESU only. Not that other schools won't give them, but for sure TESU does it this way. Other schools might not give UL credit, or might not give 3cr per course, so you'd want to check that out first.
