BA Computer Science Questions

(08-10-2024, 12:10 PM)joneedell Wrote: Sophia and Study.com courses are garbage; if you want to take those for like gen ed courses great, but why would would anyone take them for like the core courses of their degree? Just to save time and money? If you end up applying for a proper tech job and have to pass a tech interview I seriously doubt those courses are going to help you much if at all. I had looked at the tesu cyber program a few years ago and in that program if I recall correctly they don't take let courses from either of those places transfer it. But to each his own...good luck.

I see where you're coming from. I both agree and disagree with this. On one hand, I agree that the CS courses on Study.com are not very good, especially if you're a complete beginner with no experience (But so do some of the CS courses I took in university. CS in general requires a lot of self study).
But on the other hand, for someone like OP, who has been working as a SWE for 6 years, then taking a shortcut with study.com isn't a bad idea. I've been in a similar position myself (I also worked as a SWE for a few years before deciding to get a degree in CS). If I had to go through every single CS courses, covering basics like programming, OOP, and DB, it would feel like a huge waste of time and I probably won't even start the degree program.
