In my 30s and looking to finish my degree in Computer Engineer/Science

There is a Hadoop course, but it overlaps for 2 weeks with the SQL and R course. I'm not sure I can handle 2 programming courses at once if they both turn out to be time consuming along with my job and my other courses.

have you done ANY sql ever or programming ?

if so, that course is a joke

it may be listed as 3 upper level, but the work required barley meets the requirement for a 2 credit lower course

I took that course last year
Excelsior accepted it for 3 Upper as ACE recommends

I had taken Introduction to R at coursera before
I know MS Access and SQL Server pretty well

this is NOT an upper level course as far as I'm concerned

the course was fun
I learned a couple of things, but absolutely nothing I couldn't have learned on my own with 5 minutes of google

The "Intermediate R" course on the other hand was a freaking nightmare -- when they say "perquisites: one year of daily of experience with R" --- they aren't kidding -- I didn't have that --- I figured my Coursera R course and knowledge of Excel and VBA would be enough --- NO FREAKING WAY --- be prepared to put in a LOT of work

The Python course was pretty simple though
