TESU COS-111 (Introduction to programming) vs programming languages, watch out guys
#1
I just saw that study.com added a bunch of new CS courses, which is awesome, I would be careful tho about the first requirement of the BACS, which is Introduction to programming COS-111.

When I did my evaluation a couple of months ago, SL C++ did not transfer in the slot, it went to COS-204, which is one of the programming languages slot that you can use with the BALS in CS. It's a bit stupid, but they would not change it and require I take the introduction to programming course separately

From bird view: 
Computer Science 111: Programming in C -> TESU COS-116
Computer Science 112: Programming in C++ -> TESU COS-204
Computer Science 115: Programming in Java -> TESU ITS-150

It would be interesting to see if someone can actually get one of those transferred in the COS-111 slot for the BACS

None of those are supposed to evaluate as COS-111. For that, I'm sure TESU is looking specifically for an introduction to programming course, not a programming language course (intro level or not). You might be able to argue that the intro level programming language courses should qualify, but I don't think it will fly. This should be an easy course to pick up at a local CC or online from various colleges (or TESU).

What about saylor's intro to computer science 1 or 2? Do you think either of those would qualify for intro to programming requirement?

Doubtful, but it depends on what TESU has in their own syllabus for the course I'm sure.

In my experience, an introduction to programming course is usually about introducing the concepts behind programming, not about actually writing code. They usually focus on things like logic, variables & data types, control structures, loops, functions, file I/O, etc. They may use an actual programming language (or mix of languages) for examples to demonstrate the concepts, but they may use pseudocode. For that type of course, it doesn't really matter. Once you've completed that course you should be ready to pick up most modern programming languages.

Hmm, so are there currently any alternative credit options for intro to programming?

I think once you do a programming language course you shouldn't have to bother with that one. It's like passing Calculus and they tell you that you need to do College Algebra. Makes no sense to me.

@ MNomadic I don't know of any course that currently fills that requirement.

I agree it wouldn't make sense to have someone take a precursor course if they have already demonstrated competency in something more advanced.

There's an into to programming using Java uexcel:

Has anyone been able to transfer OnlineDegree.com's 'Computer Science- Introduction to Programming (CS101)' course to TESU yet, and would this qualify as COS-111 (or equivalent) fulfilling the requirement?

onlinedegree.com has Computer Science- Introduction to Programming (CS101), just 9.00 for proctored exam if there is one. NCCRS
