super fast/easy COS courses? - k-k-k-katy - 04-07-2022
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

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!

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-XAMK?pid=351012#pid351012
RE: super fast/easy COS courses? - k-k-k-katy - 04-09-2022
Would TECEP CIS-107 Computer Concepts & Applications apply towards area of study ASNSM - computer science? Would it overlap the Sophia intro course?
RE: super fast/easy COS courses? - rachel83az - 04-09-2022
Yes, the TECEP would overlap with the Sophia course.
The LL AOS courses listed here should be pretty fast: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sample_TESU_BA_Computer_Science_Plan#Part_G._AOS_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.
RE: super fast/easy COS courses? - carrythenothing - 04-09-2022
Yes, the course/e-Pack/TECEP would duplicate/replace Sophia's course.

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