New credit sources on Coursera

[Ideas]

Did you do both "Data Analysis & Visualization Foundations Specialization" and "Data Science Fundamentals w/ Python and SQL"? The first one is 9 credits and ACE doesn't mention Python or SQL. The second one is 8 credits and ACE does mention Python & SQL.

There might be an error on the Wiki page then. I did "Data Analysis & Visualization Foundations Specialization" and not the other.

Yeah, it doesn't mention Python or SQL: https://www.acenet.edu/National-Guide/Pa...0d3a33232a

It seems the DSI doesn't count toward the DS major either.  Which doesn't make much sense because TESU has a DSI-200 course, which apparently doesn't count toward the degree?

The BSDSA degree's core coursework is completed through Statistics.com: https://www.tesu.edu/heavin/bs/data-science

Oh, my other post doesn't make sense then because I was copying and pasting in a hurry. That means TESU was generous for the "IBM Data Analysis and Visualization Foundations Specialization" and I am happy with that. Just feeling the lack of the R programming credit for the Google DA cert.

coursera said "Upon further investigation of your request, we found that the ACE endorsement you have mentioned is only applicable for another IBM Specialization."

well obviously they are wrong          
you should show them that this specialization does indeed have ACE endorsement

So I sent them the ACE link, a bulleted list of earning criteria for the V2 badge on credly (that has the ACE endorsement), the coursera verification links showing I've completed the criteria and the link to the course description on their website and quoted the sentence about the program being ACE recommended and kill me now...

Thank you for your patience.

We understand that you would like to get the ACE endorsement on your Credly Badge for the Data Analysis and Visualization Foundations Specialization.

In this case, we would like to confirm if inside the courses you saw any information or notification about this,  as at the moment this Badge Coursera manages does not include this option.

I will really appreciate it if you could share a screenshot or the link where we can find this information so we can further investigate the situation.

We will be waiting for your kind response.

Did you already send them the Credly link? https://www.credly.com/org/coursera/badg...ization-v2

Yep, I included that in the first email I sent them that listed the earning criteria & the coursera verification links... So I just replied back to their email stating "Per my previous email" and sent them a link to the Data Analysis and Visualization Foundations Specialization couserea page and then attached a screenshot that highlights references to the 9 ACE credits & credly.

Fingers crossed it actually sticks this time!

Yeah, I just thought they'd accept other sources too (especially their own DSI course!), especially for electives.  But the fact that all of it can only be done through statistics.com kinda rules it out for me.

I think it's not so hard. There are some hand-on labs. It took me 1 week to finish.

To be honest, I don’t like this course much. I couldn’t pass the quiz on the first try.

Sounds like a good option if it turns out to be UL for people.

Are you transferring the credit into TESU? I am really curious if theyll take it as a UL

No, I don't use it for TESU.

Let us know when you get your Credly badge. I'll try to take this one next for TESU if someone else doesn't do it first.

UL STA-399 Special Topics in Statistics 3 cr

Evaluated as an UL in the AOS of a Math BA. Not sure why! ^^' Added it to the Wiki on the Coursera page and the Math Degree Plan page. I was hoping for Software Engineering tbh, but it isn't a bad outcome.
