I plan to take TESU's BACS and associate in mathematics.
I would like to take Linear Algebra to fulfill the UL credit requirement at TESU.
Since, I am not a US citizen, I have limited options of learning platforms.
I currently know that coopersmith and Westcott offer linear algebra and I would like to ask which is easier and if TESU accepts credit for both platforms.
I hope someone with experience will share, thanks!

Westcott may or may not be accepted. Even if it is accepted, it will NOT be UL. UMass Global transcripts it as MATU 211 - Linear Algebra. This means that TESU will bring it in as a LL credit. (Probably MAT221, but I can't say for certain.)
Coopersmith's Linear Algebra should be accepted as UL credit. I would recommend making an advising appointment with Don Stoltz
and nobody else to confirm and to get the course pre-planned.
Coursera offers a certificate from SAS that is brought in as STA-399
https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Coursera#SAS This should count as UL credit in the AOS electives section of your BACS. Similarly, the IBM Full Stack Software Developer Professional Certificate should come in as CLD-420 and also count as UL credit.
Do you have your RA credits taken care of yet? That is even more important than UL credit.
In progress:
TESU - BA Computer Science; BSBA CIS; ASNSM Math & CS; ASBA
Completed:
Pierpont - AAS BOG
Sophia (so many), The Institutes (old), Study.com (5 courses)
ASU: Human Origins, Astronomy, Intro Health & Wellness, Western Civilization, Computer Appls & Info Technology, Intro Programming
Strayer: CIS175, CIS111, WRK100, MAT210

Regarding RA credits, I am referring to jsd's plan in the forum and I plan to take 5 courses at TESU from the plan he shared. Also I already have credit for Calculus 1 and College Algebra at ASU.
Now my confirmed RA credits are = 15 (TESU) + 4 (Calculus1) + College Algebra (3) = 22
For the remaining 8 credits, my plan is:
a. programming - 3credits in MOOF.fi
b. VIDEO GAMES CREATION - XAMK 25ETC
Although I have searched a lot of information, I still don't know what XAMK's VIDEO GAMES CREATION can be substituted for TESU's corresponding courses, so I want to make sure this plan is feasible

I'm pretty sure that those XAMK credits don't correspond to any required TESU courses. However, they can at least be used in the free electives. This is fine and will work for getting to 30 (or more) RA and RA-equivalent credits.
