Alternative to Saylor's CS 102?
#1
Can anyone recommend a good alternative to Saylor's CS 102? It seems proctoring is not available for that one right now and my eldest is trying to knock off the last of his remaining requirements for his Info Sys concentration for COSC. He can tear through a course quickly if motivated, which he currently is.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, COSC no longer accepts Coopersmith, and Davar's CIS315 slots in as ITE101 at COSC.  AFAIK they don't take Sophia Intro to IT at all.  SDC Comp Sci 102 or 103 might fit.  Might be worth looking into SL's IT Fundamentals, but that's an outside chance.

I wonder how your son would feel about Saylor's CIS107, C++ Programming?  https://learn.saylor.org/course/view.php?id=65

There are proctoring slots open for that course.

Yes thanks, he's asked his advisor whether CS 107 would fulfill the same requirement. If so, he'll do that one.
