Been a little while since I posted on this thread, I recently got back my WES evaluation that took two months for some inexplicable reason and I'm not sure it helps me very much.
My grades are as follows:
My concern is, all the titles are somewhat opaque, I thought WES evaluated the contents of the course to find US equivalents - for example, my math course included algebra, trigonometry, statistics, probability etc which I was hoping would be identified in some way and so could be used to match up with similar courses in the US if required. Similarly, Web Technologies incorporated HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, SQL, etc.
There's also a lot of writing essays, presentations and reporting in a lot of those, that I hoped would at least be identified in some of them. I also presume that although evaluated for 10.5 credits, most colleges would just count them as a single 3 credit US course at best?
Ideally I'd still like to get a CS degree, I think that would be most useful for me, maybe something for the future, although I've begun down the path towards the UMPI BABA and completed 5 Sophia courses for my plan with 11 to go. I don't really need any electives, as I've already got them covered with certificates and IT certifications.
Does anyone have any thoughts and experience? Would I be able to make a case for these courses being worth more than a single 3 credit class?
My grades are as follows:
Code:
(L) Data, Computing and Information 10.5 Pass
(L) Networked Living 10.5 Pass
(L) Discovering Mathematics 10.5 Pass
(L) Microsoft Server Technologies 10.5 Pass
(L) Technologies in Practice 10.5 Pass
(L) Linux: An Introduction 3.5 Pass
(U) Object-Oriented Programming with Java 10.5 C
(U) Communication and Information Technologies 10.5 A
(U) Cisco Networking I 10.5 A
(U) Web Technologies 10.5 A
(U) Cyber Security 10.5 A
Total 108.5 US credits GPA 3.6
