If I take this course over Asu’s calc 1 could/ would it effect admissions to an MSCS if I should decide to go? Should I take the Slightly easier course now to expedite the BA degree process Or just suck it up and take the harder course ? At this point I’m not 100% sure I’m going to pursue a MSCS but I sure Don’t want to have to go back and take calc 1 later on because i wasted my time and cheaped out now. or will it not matter since it satisfied calc 1 requirement for the BA ?

Here is the spreadsheet that I created for my degree plan. It is semi-finalized, unofficial degree plan. Hopefully, I will get my TOEFL test soon in order to enroll and make it official.

The spreadsheet contains some colors and other features like how many UL or RA credits are there? It also keeps track of your "done" or "finished" credits and updates its information cells accordingly. The formulae (or formulas) used are very simple and straightforward.

I have not removed the courses that I have done, nor the estimated costs, so that you can see how it works. Feel free to remove, change or update your copy of the spreadsheet.

The colored courses feature is done using the "conditional formatting" feature, so you can always edit it to add more colors for other credits or courses providers.

Finally, I have started this spreadsheet on Google Sheets. However, I had to convert it to Microsoft format ".xlsx" in order to remove my personal data, as Google Sheets will always show my real name. Some minor features were lost during the conversion process though.

Based on your advice, I have purchased the davar academy course. However, I feel a bit lost. The required textbook is huge. There is no way that reading it is easier than doing the usual SDC! At the same time, the pdf/powerpoint file that they offer seems insuffecient and is not that easy either (some slides are just like notes without much explanation, the whole structure is messy, ... etc).

How did you prepare for the exam? Could you please help? Are the quiz files enough?

Calculus is a serious course.  This isn't like a history course where you just memorize a bunch of facts. 

Colleges use calculus as a filter to weed out students.  It's a landmine, and you need to avoid getting your leg blown off.

To put this in perspective, colleges report a 50% dropout rate related to Calculus
https://studyplaces.com/how-hard-is-calculus-our-college-grads-and-dropout-answers/

I forget the exact number but at least 25% of engineering students drop out because of this one class.  One-half of WGU's math department is devoted just to helping students get through that one Calculus class. 

That SL Calculus course expires July 31st.  If you want to take any chance of that course going away and you becoming fked than be my guest but don't say we didn't warn you.

Taking calculus in Study.com, CLEP, whatever is wasting your time in my opinion.  Get through the SL Calculus course, save your sanity and move on with life.

Take notes & write down every single formula you do.  Break it down into little steps and you get through it with a 90%+ success rate.  Follow the proven path, don't go wandering in the woods in random directions hoping to get somewhere.

A few of these courses I'm a bit emotional about as I went through literally hell to get through them.

End of rant and 755 of 1000 analogies completed.

Hi, is this degree plan up to date?? How did it go for you?
