SL Computer Courses: Information Tech Fundamentals and Intro to Programming Comp C++

[hoffdeb]

I accidentally posted this to the wrong category....

Does anyone have experience with one or both of these two courses from SL? If so, could you please share your thoughts....lessons, book, final exam, time frame, transfer to TESU and anything else?

I am searching for another science course for my 16 year old homeschooled son. He has already completed SL Chemistry I and is about to complete the last lab exam today. Would this even be a science? I was thinking of "computer science."

He is proficient on his own computer, as he is an avid gamer.

He's also already completed ALEKS Intermediate Algebra, College Algebra, Pre-Calculus, and Statistics. Thanks for your help! Debbie

There are a lot of posts here about the programming course: http://www.degreeforum.net/general-educa...ing-c.html

Debbie, I bought my son the IT Fundamentals, which he'll start later this month. I haven't even opened it, but I'm happy to look anything up for you to help you decide. I hope it's not too terrible. My son doing it is my non-computer kid! I didn't sign him up for programming, just IT Fundamentals.

IT Fundamentals: Thanks Jennifer! One comment I heard is that the course is not "StraighterLine-ish" .... meaning, because SL does not provide the instruction as in the other courses they offer, it can be more of a challenge. What do you notice as you browse through the lessons? Thanks!
