It's in my "if I have to" list at this point My main problem is finding UL credits, and the other problem is having something quick as my final new credits (if I do extra credits).
For me, I don't think their course will be too quick. But perhaps not too slow. Do you know how long it might take someone who has no C++ experience but has done another lang?

COS-451 Artificial Intelligence at TESU would be fun. Too bad I have to watch the budget. Maybe I can find something like that for under $900.
TESU's description of Computer Architecture doesn't sound as fun as the other school's. I see TESU's Operating Systems course is also UL. I think I would rather take DBMS than either of those.
With DBMS I think I might use what I learn, and I have a little background. So DBMS seems likely to be my final UL, if I find a non-cc courses cheaper than an non-cc AI course.

I wonder about doing PLA through LearningCounts to save money and to gain flexibility of scheduling. I think it would be more fun being self-guided, although I know I have to cover about the same material. I feel like it would be pretty hard for me to PLA a programming course, but the AI course seems really fun if that's allowed.
