New tesu computer science degree plan advice

[innen_oda]

Can you do Discrete Math at SDC, and find your CS elective somewhere as RA?

$1100 for Discrete Math is a lot compared to $90, and I feel like you could find a cheap RA CS elective for far less than the $1000 difference.

If you already have 15 CC credits, I would take 3 classes at TEL Learning that don't duplicate those. If the TEL Learning courses duplicate ACE credits you've already done, TESU will automatically prefer the RA credits of TEL learning to the ACE ones. If they don't duplicate, the RA credits will still have preference in at least the electives slots.

30 needed - 15 CC - 6 capstone/cornerstone = 9 credits @ TEL Learning. Cost: $900. Cheaper than just the discrete math course.

Good point. Also I don’t see anything from tel learning that I can use. All I lack for degree is the 2 required tesu 33 credits from area of study and comp sci electives. I should research more for an independent study ra comp sci elective and take discrete math through study.com of possible.

No, the point is to redo something that you've already done. For instance, if you did English Comp through Sophia, either take the TECEP(s) or do English Comp through TEL Learning. Right now, it's not about filling in the blanks but about triaging what you have.

In your case, redoing three basic LL classes with TECEPs/TEL Learning is going to be cheaper and faster than filling in the blanks with RA credits.

I see what you’re saying. Thanks. So tel learning is ra ?

Redoing a really basic GenEd, as frustrating and redundant as it seems, is going to be FAR less painful than trying to fill upper level credits through various IS options at universities. It is up to you, but I would suggest you could get through a basic self-paced TEL course in the time you'd spend just signing up and getting registered for a one-off Independent Study course.

GenEds are only going to test you on material you already know really really well. Upper Levels, meanwhile, are harder to find, more expensive, and tend to be more difficult pedagogically. SDC gives you more leeway in terms of learning the material and working through it until you master it (or at least, get the 70% needed to pass).

Try not to focus on sunk costs. They're a distractor from getting you to your ultimate goal.

Yes, they are RA. Mostly. When you sign up, you can choose one of four RA schools to add the course to your transcript with them. So instead of TESU seeing that you took a course with TEL Learning, they'll see that you took it from something like Mid-America University or whatever.

So scratch asu calc 1
ASU intro to programming
Discreet math or cs elective from self study university

Retake 3 gen Ed’s From tel learn . And take calc 1 , intro to prog , and discreet math from sdc. ?

[LevelUP]

Go for the easy TECEP exams that require no studying or minimal studying such as:
MAT-105-TE Applied Liberal Arts Mathematics
CIS-107-TE Computer Concepts and Applications

Probably be easier just to take Software Engineering at TESU than messing with the TECEP Network or Coopersmtih Linear Algebra.  Or find another UEXCELs, TEL learning, or whatever.

So in one term take these at TESU:
Software Engineering
SOS-110
Capstone

My question is if you have an associate degree already from a college that is already 60 RA credits.
I think is better to send some ACE credits to MNJC or Clovis and finished an associate degree their and then transfer the transcript to TESU and all the ACE credit are seen as RA credit they have to take it.
Im in the same situation to finished the BACS but with this new change TESU makes it very difficult you have to pay more for a degree.
Just looked this way you will at least have an Associate Degree in your hands beside to have flying credits to find a College who want to take them all.
