Study.com Computer Science Course Equivalency

[Merlin]

1) What did you do for the data strucs requirement, operating systems (study.com has 2 of them), and the 2 remaining upper levels for the 15 upper level CS courses requirement?

Most folks end up taking these at a local CC or via an online college course (like direct from TESU). Study.com is working on a course, but who knows when (or if) it will be ready.

2) Is is true btw that DSST MIS, TEEX, and Saylor MIS no longer count for UL courses for the BA in CS?

Yes. TESU doesn't accept LL ACE recommended courses as UL any longer.

3) I think the only options left after that are DSST Fundamentals of Cybersecurity, and something else. What are the best options after taking these 3 UL courses through study.com?

I mentioned alternatives in the other thread. These include the Study.com MIS course and their Digital Marketing course.

5) How hard/easy were study.com's 3 upper level courses? How quickly could one do them for a pass?

The Computer Architecture course seems the toughest, though I don't think any of them are that tough, it depends on your familiarity with the subject going into the course. The project for Systems Analysis is a pain in the butt, but the one for Database Management is very straightforward.

Personally, I got through Systems Analysis, Database Management, Digital Marketing, and the Programming in C course in like 2-3 weeks and scored in the upper 90s on each, but I have more than 20 years of hands-on software engineering experience. I haven't taken the Operating Systems or Computer Architecture courses yet so I can't add my feedback there.
