PLA for Comp Sci / CIS courses
#1
I'm eager to hear anybody's experiences or thoughts about PLA-ing this kind of course. I am interested in PLA-ing an intro level programming course, and a DBMS course or AI course. Or only one. I would want to use LearningCounts to avoid the costly PLA course(s) at TESU.

I PLA'd a number of CS courses. However, I have over 30 years of experience and my portfolio was based on that experience. I outlined my path in the PLA tips thread linked in my sig. If there had been cheap online courses that I could have tested my way through, I would have chosen those instead.

I only suggest PLA's if there's not a cheaper option elsewhere. There are multiple ways to take an entry-level programming course (SL, UExcel, CSU-Global) and CSU-G has a database course as well.

Mostly I want the UL one in DBMS or AI, without paying $850+. However, I might just pay. Or perhaps find something cheaper like Comp Architecture which I'm not as interested in.

I guess I won't try to PLA the entry level one, but I thought it could be like an entry to PLA, before trying to PLA one of the above.
