Study.com Computer Science Course Equivalency - armstrongsubero - 12-14-2018
I had my computer science courses from my eval posted from Study.com. Here is what they came as:
C Programming -> COS-116
Computer Arcihtecture -> COS-330
Intro to Operating Sytems -> COS-240
Discrete Math -> MAT-270
System Analysis and Design I -> CIS-320
Database Managment -> CIS-311
I only need 2 courses for this degree again.
Oh an Calculus, I'm 80% done with Calc so close!

Thanks, much appreciated!

Thanks for posting. Best of luck with finishing the last few courses.

Thanks for the updates! I have a few of those done already, still a few more to go for me...

Saw you mentioned:
"C Programming -> COS-116

Questions:
1) What did you do for the data strucs requirement, operating systems (study.com has 2 of them), and the 2 remaining upper levels for the 15 upper level CS courses requirement?
2) Is is true btw that DSST MIS, TEEX, and Saylor MIS no longer count for UL courses for the BA in CS?
3) I think the only options left after that are DSST Fundamentals of Cybersecurity, and something else. What are the best options after taking these 3 UL courses through study.com?
4) I did take linear algebra at a 4 year university – would that count that as it used to under the old CS bulletin?
5) How hard/easy were study.com's 3 upper level courses? How quickly could one do them for a pass?

Most folks end up taking these at a local CC or via an online college course (like direct from TESU). Study.com is working on a course, but who knows when (or if) it will be ready.

Yes. TESU doesn't accept LL ACE recommended courses as UL any longer.

I mentioned alternatives in the other thread. These include the Study.com MIS course and their Digital Marketing course.

The Computer Architecture course seems the toughest, though I don't think any of them are that tough, it depends on your familiarity with the subject going into the course. The project for Systems Analysis is a pain in the butt, but the one for Database Management is very straightforward.
Personally, I got through Systems Analysis, Database Management, Digital Marketing, and the Programming in C course in like 2-3 weeks and scored in the upper 90s on each, but I have more than 20 years of hands-on software engineering experience. I haven't taken the Operating Systems or Computer Architecture courses yet so I can't add my feedback there.

I’m trying to plan and budget my program. I’ve not signed up and taken any study.com courses yet. Knowing that everyone is different Does anyone have experience with their computer science courses ? If I were to spend 2-3 hours per day on the courses what is a reasonable expectation of time to complete per course? Which ones did you find the easiest and most difficult. Just trying to get an idea on timeline. Thanks.

It really depends a lot. Most CS lessons are about 5 minutes long and there are around 100-120 lessons in a course. You may also need to go over stuff more than once. So you should figure at least a combined total of 8+ hours to watch all the lessons and answer the quizzes.
Plus, there are various assignments that are needed. You can probably get through a course in about a week of 2-3 hours per day, once the assignments are figured in.

Okay. Great. Thanks. Gonna get through holidays. And Hopefully start Jan 2

I remember conversation about test and assessment grading. Do they still grade ur exam even though u didnt submit assignment? Or must u do both in 1 months together?
