TESU computer science courses?

Would it be good to still take the assembly course without prior knowledge of assembly? I want to take it, but I just don't know if I should take it now. I want to take both of these courses.

Why are you wanting to take the assembly course? TESU classes are too expensive if you just have a passing interest in a specific subject. 

I would instead suggest that if you have a burning passion for learning Assembly that you either study it yourself with a couple of books or you find a community college to take the classes at. For instance, College of DuPage has two 4-credit Assembly language courses: https://catalog.cod.edu/courses-a-z/cis/ Assuming you can take these courses online, each 4-credit course would be $610 or less ($138/credit + maybe a fee), which is only slightly more than the cost of a single credit at TESU. 

Oakton has "Computer Architecture and Organization" that includes Assembly programming. Oakton's 3-credit course would be about $450 after fees. 

If you were expecting to roll the cost into a 16-credit term, I know just enough about Assembly to think that this is NOT a viable option for most students who do not have prior knowledge of Assembly. 

For TESU, get your credit as quickly and as cheaply as you can. Get your degree. Then you can fill in the missing gaps in your education, as most Comp Sci graduates from most schools have to do, with self-study elsewhere.
