AS in Math, opinions please

The problem with the EdX courses is that they are only transferrable to TESU if you take them when they're live. So, if you can't get the work completed by 7/15, then you missed out on the first course; and then they won't let you take the 2nd one. When they originally did this program, it was 2 years ago (maybe more), so it could be a long time before them come around as live courses again. I don't think you can take these without having taken Calc I & II. So you would certainly be in a time crunch to get those courses completed and then try to catch up to this first course, and ready to move onto the 2nd one right afterwards.

Here's the info from the forum posted just the other day:

Intro to Differential Equations (May 16, 2017) - the only fixed date in this class is the midterm, otherwise you can submit all problem sets and the final anytime up until the end of the course. [B]The deadline to apply for the verified certificate (in order to get ACE credit) is July 15. - runs 9 weeks. (3 credits) $49

[B]Linear Differential Equations (August 1, 2017) - runs 8 weeks. (3 credits) $49

[B]Nonlinear Differential Equations (October 3, 2017) - runs 5 weeks. (3 credits) $49

Yeah, it's unfortunate. I won't be able to even begin Calc 1 studies until August.

I have noticed that there are always new options and paths popping up for getting degrees, and this is the place to learn about them. This EdX thing pops up. I can't take advantage of it, but there will be others.

I poked around a little tonight and saw that a community college I went to years back might be an even cheaper AS-Math option for me than San Jacinto College. Possibly under $1000 :/

The math degree, though not pressing right this moment, is something I want to turn over in my mind. In another few weeks I will be very close to having earned my BSBA credits and then it will be time to make the decision.
