My advisor told me I need to send the transcript before December 31 his was wrong.
"Good morning,
That is correct, the course must be completed by 12/31/2021 in order to be able to transfer as it was recently deemed to no longer be transferrable to TESU. So if you can complete that course by 12/31/2021 then it is fine, but otherwise you should not take the course.
Thank you,
Dennis"
Oh thank goodness! Thank you for the update. Dealing with some RL issues, so I haven't been able to complete all the quizzes and take the exam like I planned. Having extra time will help a lot!
Rachel Im in the same situation this is a fast ball from TESU at the last time they came out with this, I was sable to finished all the Discrete Match quizzes now I studying to make the exam ASAP.
In progress:
TESU - ASNSM ASBA, UNIR- Master Cyber Security
Completed:
TESU - BA Computer Science

Can some one please update what are the most requested topics in the Computer Architecture exam so other can concentrate learning on this topic to pass the final exam.

I aced the computer architecture course. If you did anything with electronics like played with a 555, some 4000s, 7000s, wrote assembly for a PIC, AVR, etc you'll be fine.
If you only did "coding" with some web stuff, then you'll have a harder time, and if you did nothing at all prepare to put a lot of time into it.
I did all the courses listed there. Do the Discrete Math first, the concepts will help a lot with Computer Architecture and it will take the most time, then the Operating Systems. It seems counter intuitive, but the OS concepts build on the architecture class, you'll be better prepped going in. I am saddened by this change, I was one of the first if not the first member on this board to do these CS courses when they first came out.
I do agree with TESU to a point, these courses along with DSA are usually the "weed out" courses in a CS program and should be rigorous. Take the time to learn this material. A lot of work is opening in IoT and Robotics.
The material in these courses will be invaluable.

If u think doing CS degree online or B&M will give much knowledge- wake up . Most of Graduates are clueless about basics after their degrees..... it alll comes to self learning , so no University degrees will give u much knowledge in the field......
Degree is mostly for check box to pass HR for bigger companies. In many cases u stilll have to self learn to be able to pass multiple interviews......

@Cofffeee you can read this or not, but a degree is more than a tick the box.
You say that, but I'm yet to meet the swlf taught developer with good grounding in RTOSs, Calculus, Linear Algebra and Big O notation etc. In fact its so bad I wrote a book to help them get up to speed with at least the basics. "Codeless Data Structures and Algorithms" and I skimp on math because well a lof of self taught devs simply did not learn discrete math and calculus, for algorithmic analysis, rate monotonic analysis in you RTOS etc. Its imperitive.
Thats one of the reason we have so many ML 'experts' that get turned over so quickly it makes their head spin.
They lack tge requisitue math, they can train some models but not much else.
I've met some people decent at web coding, but in my domain in embedded and IoT and recently robotics maybe a class or two in computer architecture and operating systems will help a lot.
Many coders are great in the domain but show them the memory view in Keil or IAR and they dont know heads or tails, and it you didnt learn comp. architecture in school no one has time to teach you on the job. After time you get better but there needs to be a foundation.
Of course you self teach yourself, its like doing marital arts, sure you can learn by being tossed in the ring, but without a sensi to guide you, you'll have so many broken bones it will make you head spin.
A degree doesnt just 'check the box for HR' thats why they graduate clueless. If they half ass thier way through and don't absorb material they'll be doing menial jobs like front end dev or web dev, those guys are a million a dime.
Heck you can even outsource them. Get guys who have twice the knowledge working for half the pay.
But if you really want to set yourself apart and work on cutting edge stuff and you really pushed yourself in your classes, that foundational knowledge combined with yohr experience will make you highly employable and you're likely to become a domain experts. Charge what you want and publishers will reach out to you.
There are many case studies where lack of foundational knowledge is crucial.
RTOS, DSP, Embedded Linux, and like people who really understand the math behind ML...man these guys kill it and the majority of them are math or physics guys, mostly PhDs and a few are CS.
These guys can also serve as expert witnesses in court, take on military and goverment contracts and kill it with consulting.
Self taught web monkeys are a dime a dozen, and drag the name 'engineer' through the mud...doing some leetcode and memorizing your DSAs dosent make you an engineer.
Its that deep, niche knowledge when the stack breaks down that counts and yes experience is one way to get that, but intelligent guys with advanced degrees are the ones who command the salaries they want.
Your aim is to be such a guy, not just another 'coder', cause salaries will drop.
So you're right, you can memorize interview passing techniques for most web jobs.
But in my domain where I have 10+ years experience, you would perish without the material in your degree. Just got too much to learn on the job, need people who have a strong, solid base to build on.
Things like the Toyota acceleration problem, Boeing aircraft systems etc. Prove why degrees are needed, a little foundational CS principles can avoid a lot of catastrophies.
So go ahead tick the box for HR, do leetcode and all the 'pass the job interview' tricks and get the job.
One day you'll meet a guy that really applied himself, seems to have all the answers.
You can either be that guy or be in awe at that guy.
And some people will say they were in the field and just need the degree now.
Well a degree does something else, it puts you out of your comfortzone, and forces you to learn things outside of your domain of expertise, things you never would have looked at.
I'm sorry if you see a degree as just a piece of paper to tick the box, and will leave you 'clueless about basics' but I sure as hell wont want someone like that to be my employee, coworker or client and sure not my boss.
Met a few guys like that, half assed their degrees then run into managment after they struggle on the job a few years, or leave the field all together and end up being a real PITA as your manager or boss, knows very little, but talks a lot, unresonable demands.
Anyway this is a real rant.
I just hate to see people in the field saying a technical degree is just a piece of paper to tick the box. Maybe a liberal arts degree but Mathematics, CS, EE do much more that that.
Talking from experience here. Started self-taught, didnt need a degree, did it to expand my knowledge base, my degree taught me a lot.
P.S. Those people who do tick the box degrees to work at a large company dont stay very long, then end up quittting and sell you courses to pass the interviews to work at the large company they just quit.
Ex-Insert FAANG here 'engineer' selling you a coding course...that they quit after a few years, it its so great there why did you quit? Heard programming pays a lot of money?
Even the FANNG guys say 'degree not required' and yeah how much cutting edge AI research is being done by non-degree holders? I'll wait.
Anyway get that CS degree, tick that box for the big company you go guy/girl! I'll see you in a few years when you wash out of the industry and need a consultant for your startup lol

Great going!!! Is computer architecture next? I know you don't have much time but I recommend the "Ben Eater CPU" playlist on YT. Whenever you decide to take it here it is:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyznrdDS...5dvjafglHU
You might not have enough time to buy the components and do it, but you should look at it, especially before the final assignment. It will really help you put things into perspective.

Yeah, I'm finishing up Computer Architecture right now. I've bene watching Crash Course and Ben Eater videos to try to bridge the gaps.
