Finnish credit transfer + Linear Algebra Transfer

[YoooY]

Hello guys grateful for all the info on this forum.

I'd like to share my experience transfering Foreign credits from Metropolia University of Applied Sciences into TESU. First of all, (especially europeans) I highly recommend getting as many credits from a Finnish university as possible. The credits are fast to get and all you have to do after is download the transcript from the student portal and send it to ACEI, who will evaluate and send your credits directly to TESU. You can expect a Finnish credit to be equivalent to half a US credit. I'm happy to help anyone out with more details so please ask.

I'd also like to mention that I transfered in Linear Algebra from Coopersmith into BACS at TESU and it came in as UL MAT-3210 succesfully. On the wiki there is a doubt as to whether or not this course is still accepted.

How many courses did you take, what courses transferred to what in the BACS?

I'd like to hear details about the linear algebra

where did you take the proctored exam ?

it says here
https://www.coopersmithcc.net/about/

Taking an exam, use the “Tests” tab. Proctoring is available through SmarterServices proctoring by clicking on the exam. (If a student has an arranged alternate proctoring, the student must refer to their proctor for instructions.)

so did you do SmarterServices ?

what is it, how does it work, and what did you think about the process ?

how about the course ?

did you use any outside sources and was the material provided by coopersmith enough

how long did the course take ?

I took the proctored exam with smarter services. Coopersmith provide all the necessary links. The process was very straightforward with no complications.
I went through the entire Linear Algebra course on Khan Academy, in addition to the entire course offered through coopersmith, which is the video playlist on youtube Linear Algebra by Dr Trefor Bazett and did all the question problems in every chapter in addition to the practice exam.
I was definately over prepared. The almost 2 months it took me to grasb the concepts of Linear Algebra was definately rewarding. However, you could speed run the course by only doing the preparation test at the end of the course, memorize the method to answer the questions and going straight into the test. The questions on the test are very repetitive. This should only take a couple of days.

I transferred in a total of 87 Finnish credits. I cannot say what things transferred in as because all my credits were placed under Electives and it does not show any details. The 87 credits were enough to fill in the 30 credits required for the electives and that's it. I had already completed almost all of the Area of Study credits from Study.com/Sophia etc.. so who knows what the finnish credits would have filled if I had sent them in first.

Basically, review the TESU WIKI for possible options to your Linear Algebra class for transfer... Did you get an academic evaluation already?

Yes, the Coopersmith Linear Algebra course came in as UL MAT-3210

Might be a good idea to update the wiki and mention this transfer info.
