Goal: BA or BS in CS or IT

[MrPanda]

I took FIN 401: Corporate Finance in Davar Academy, in order to remember the accounting terms, I watched the Accounting 101 Study.com videos, also in order to learn about the types of business (sole prop., llc, s-corporation, c-corporation).

I used RP Now, however, I never saw in any place if I could use a calculator, so at the beginning of the proctoring, I didn`t show it, then I brought it from a desk one meter away. There are lots of questions that need calculator, but it didn`t say that it was allowed.

Well, if it`s flagged, I can take it again.

It was easy, because most of the questions were "Which is false", and that "False" was the one that was not in the slides.

However, I had to read the slides many times and watch some related SDC videos. Since the types of business is something that only applies to the US, it was totally new to me.

I don`t know how many days I have to wait.

[MrPanda]

In Davar they said that we can use calculators for finance, accounting and math.

I got the Davar results now (at the same time):

MAN-310 Organizational Behavior: 91%
FIN-311 Corporate Finance: 92%

I finished the Organizational Behavior exam 8h30min ago, and the Corporate Finance 2 days ago.

Today I also took the exam of Finance 304: Security Analysis & Portfolio Management in SDC, I got 82.

I´ll try to get the certificates in Finance and Organizational Leadership in TESU.

Now I´ll see if I don´t get distracted with DAVAR, and start with Discrete Mathematics in SDC...

Not to brag, but my prediction came true once again as you passed the Davar exams easily. hehe.

Are you going for a BSBA Finance degree at TESU now, along with the BA CS?

Discrete Math isn't too hard, as you only need to know around 8 basic math formulas which you need to memorize. The online calculator SDC gives you does all the math for you.

On the final, there are only 25% or fewer math questions.  There are a lot of other concepts to know as the course is a pretty big one. You should score on the final within around 10% of what you score on the practice exam.

Don't worry if you don't get something right away. You can move on and come back to it later.

[MrPanda]

Yes, LevelUp, you told me that I could pass Davar, thanks for the encouragement :-D

My plan is:

BSBA CIS + Operations Management
BA CS (and if I get suitable transfers from my Peruvian credits, I´ll add Math, I´ll probably take the Coursera SAS Advanced Programmer Professional Certificate, in order get one Math UL)
Certificate in Organizational Leadership
Certificate in Finance

I´ll take Calculus I from Saylor and Calculus II from Straighter line, but I want to finish the CS courses before doing Calculus II.
I´ll take the both capstones plus the necessary math in the last semester.

I have a Quantitative Methods class from a Peruvian master, I hope it translates to an upper level math, so I could reduce one math course from the AOS.

[MrPanda]

I´m working at the Quantitative Analysis I from TEL, have only done two modules for now (Logic and Geometry) and...

they take time.

The module exams are not timed, so I was just working calmly, but still, for a module quiz that doesn´t weight that much, I needed 1 hour. And that´s without counting the review of the material.

And that course has 13 modules.

And we are not considering the time required for the Mastery Assignments and the 2 course exams.

By the way, I was also advancing with ONU, and I finished Finite Math (A), the load was much lighter in ONU, in comparison to TEL, and now I´m working on Latin American History and Politics.

The instructors at ONU are very nice, they are always complimenting you whenever you post something. I would have liked to have teachers like that many years ago.

This is from one of my translated Peruvian transcripts, I should cover at least the economics section of the business core for the BSBA with this transcript (grades are on a 0-20 scale, with 11 being the passing grade):


However, since I´m still finishing my last credits in order to have the 9 RA credits to admission without TOEFL, I haven´t applied yet.

So, I still won´t know if I´ll need to take Managerial Accounting or Financial Accounting, both, or none

My best guess on this - this accounting course will come in as ACC-100 and can be used in the AoS if it's general management, otherwise it's a free elective; then you'll have to take Financial Acct & Managerial Acct.  But that's just a guess.

One question, this was for the BSBA Operations Management:

What´s the reason MAN-438 and MAN-437 (The 2 UL courses from the Coursera Project Management) ended in electives, instad of being in AOS Electives Group 1?

Wasn´t the requirement for the Group 1 to be UL, and for this BSBA, to be Management or Operations Management?

I would email academic advising to see if you can move those courses to your AOS.

Because Ops Management consists of very specific courses, and Project Management courses aren't part of that.  If you have several PM courses, esp UL ones, you should switch your AoS to General Management instead, so those will work there.
