My Journey - TESU BA Computer Science

[camjenks]

Discrete Math was easier than I expected. I forgot it's an LL course. I'm assuming I can score enough on the final. I did the quizzes.

I'll also be taking the Intro to Operating Systems exam very soon, followed by Computer Architecture, and Database Management.

I did half of the OD course, but I'm stopping so that I can do the above Study.com and then the 2 Saylor courses.

I may be done with all of these in Dec. I would only have Data Structures and the Capstone left, but I have a lot of English AOS credits to do.

The last half of the OD Python course is tough. I  started last Saturday and did 25% on the first day, but it was a lot of stuff I was already familiar with from scripting in bash (loops, variables, etc.). Once I hit Lesson 13 I had to start going a lot slower. I'm on 22 now, so almost done, but I've been studying at least 5 hours a day and have only been getting 2-3 sections done each day. Some of the sections had a lot of code to get through (e.g. game design), and for others it was just really a struggle for me to wrap my head around the concepts (e.g. graphs). Despite the grind, I've been putting a ton of effort into it and it's probably in my top 3 of all the courses I've done so far. I'm really enjoying learning all these topics and getting familiar with python. While there are a few odd things about the course, I think it's wonderfully done overall. The instructor's good, the information is focused and well organized, and the supplemental material is relevant.

I'll definitely continue learning it and look for ways to use it at work.
