Straighterline Programming in C++

[mpie18]

Since I knew programming, the C++ course from Straighterline was an easy course for me and didn't take too long to complete. ( Maybe a week or less, I do not remember exactly...) It had 8 written assignments where I had to submit tested workable code. It also had 4 graded quizzes, midterm and final ( final proctored through ProctorU). If you do not like programming and do not know C ++ to start with, it will be much better for you to take Penn Foster Intro to programming course, where you do not program actually , but write pseudocode. There is no proctored test in Penn Foster. They will send you a textbook for the course and you will need to install Visio.

I also took Saylor CS101 Introduction to Computer Science I ( NCCRS recommended) that, in my opinion, is somewhat similar to Straighterline C++, but in Java. You do not need to submit any code in the Saylor course and the final is a multiple choice test through ProctorU .

TESC trancribed the mentioned 3 courses as followed:

from Saylor - Introduction to computers COS 101( 3 credits)
from Straighterline - C++ programming COS-213 ( 4 credits)
from Penn Foster - Intro to Programming COS -111 (3 credits)

They put all 3 courses in area of study for BA in Computer Science.

Thanks for your feedback. Looks like I'll be taking the Penn Foster course when the time comes. I've struggled with programming courses (for example, Codecademy) because they simply bore me to tears and frustrate me. Maybe an introduction to the logic behind coding will help me with future excursions into programming languages.

So what exactly do you do for the Penn Foster course to earn the credit?
