Do you think I could do Computer Science 201: Data Structures & Algorithms together with Operating Systems?
I have a 3-day weekend coming so I am thinking about doing Operating System over that weekend (I will be free for most of these 3 days). I reckon if I could finish Operating Systems over that weekend (say a whole week plus the weekend) I could probably squeeze in Data Structures & Algorithms during the same month?



I am not sure if I understand it correctly. I could do placement tests for those two courses and they would count towards my Operating System Course?

Yes.  Try it, as they only take about 5-15 min each.  Report back results. 

I had around 1/2 of the operating systems course done after I did all my courses.

I scored 22/30 on Placement Test: Business 109: Intro to Computing
I scored 20/30 on Placement Test: Business 104: Information Systems and Computer Applications

Are you suggesting that I take these courses before the Operating System one?

No, don't take the courses. You only need to take the placement tests. By the way, did it complete any quizzes for the operating systems course?

Here’s how Study.com works: lessons from one course can be used in multiple courses. So once you complete or test out of a lesson, it completes quizzes that use that lesson in all relevant courses. You can then skip those lessons since you already have the knowledge.

Therefore, if you have several Study.com courses to take, it’s quicker to take all the placement tests first rather than completing the courses.

Here's another one that is common to a lot of Intro to Computer courses.

I see. Thank you. However, I do not see any of the lessons I tested out of in these two courses transferred to the Operating Systems course. I will another course that you suggested.

Hmm. I never took any operating systems lessons; however, it showed that half of all lessons in operating systems were completed after I took all the placement tests and courses for the CS degree.

For example, if you were to complete this lesson (chapter 4: lesson 1 Computer Operating Systems: Managing Hardware and Software Resources) in  Computer Science 103: Computer Concepts & Applications
https://study.com/academy/course/compute...tions.html

Then it should automatically complete this lesson (chapter 1: lesson 4 Computer Operating Systems: Managing Hardware and Software Resources) in Operating Systems which is exactly the same

There are many lessons that are reused from course to course, so once you pass or test out of a lesson, it completes the lessons for all courses.

These 2 courses are required for CS major at TESU, so you can do these placement tests

It's a good idea to do the placement tests a couple of times, to get more % complete from it. Then you can focus on the remaining content for the courses...

I must say I am enjoying the course. It is by no means easy, but not because of the difficulty of the material, but rather due to the sheer volume of content. However, I appreciate that the lessons often refer back to previous ones, making it easier to remember the material. Overall, it's a good course.
