I was asking TESC about statistics.com course " SQL and R - Introduction to Database Queries." I also sent to TESC ACE description and recommendation'
"The course objective is to enable students to learn how to think "like" a relational database, in order to manipulate matrixes and vectors of data using SQL queries. Students will learn how to bring data from a database and organize it into a flat file in R. This course will teach students how to prepare data so that they can perform basic statistical calculations (e.g. averages, tabulations, linear regressions, test of two means) to more advanced machine learning algorithms on data.
In the upper-division baccalaureate degree category, 3 semester hours in computer science or programming"
I hoped that I can use this course for upper level credits in area of study ( BA in CS) instead of TESC databases course.
This is what I got from TESC,
"Good morning and thank you for contacting Thomas Edison State College's Office of Academic Advising. In regard to your inquiry, we do not currently have equivalencies on file for these options. Unfortunately, the only way to evaluate these options would be via ACE transcript after completion. Therefore, I cannot approve or deny these options without a transcript. "
It is frustrating ...
But I think that I will try to take it anyway.
