Is purchasing the textbook for $165 necessary to succeed in this
Course , or will the additional resources the course gives be enough to complete the coursework ?

Hi. Do you know now if the Saylor software engineering goes for UL? I have just registered for the software engineering at TESU as my final UL before the capstone.

According to the table, it´s equivalent to: CIS-351 Software Engineering

Unless money is a huge factor, which is understandable. I highly recommend taking it through TESU.


RE: CIS-351 Software Engineering - Course Experience? - bjcheung77 - 01-04-2024

That's correct, I would take the Saylor.org exam if you have some knowledge, you should at least review the Saylor.org class and practice exam, if you are at about 80% on that practice test, then you should do the final exam worth credit.  For $5, that's the best option...

I also agree with this, it can potentially be FREE if you place it in with the 15 credit residency at TESU, do that in a flat-rate term.  I highly suggest making a list of classes that you need/want to max the 15 credits, you can always extend the classes that you need, such as the capstone.

After a very busy morning of checking this and that, I've decided to go with the capstone first and figure out the final UL credit a bit later. I've emailed TESU about the saylor software engineering course to see if it will transfer in as UL still. I looked on the saylor website and it looks like it might have lost it's ACE accreditation as of the end of 2023? I'll report back.

Looks like ACE is now listing this as a LL course

I emailed my advisor at TESU and she said this: 
The Saylor Academy course, Software Engineering, will transfer at the lower level: CIS-2510 and will lose its ACE recommendation for credit on 1/31/24.


RE: CIS-351 Software Engineering - Course Experience? - bjcheung77 - 01-05-2024

Oh snap! Hot cakes! You still have time to get the UL requirement as it's not 1/31/24 yet! Go go gadget go!

I already have it from SDC lol. I wrote a post on the assignments too, because they were so tedious. Then it was just a lowerlevel course. I did it with intent for WGU though. Reddit post I made: https://www.reddit.com/r/WGU_CompSci/comments/11xjh74/tackling_computer_architecture_and_software/
