My Journey - TESU BA Computer Science

[camjenks]

I don't think I will be taking Saylor Software Engineering either. I only did the practice exam. I may do a second practice exam before I decide. This had more good questions than their networking exam, but in my opinion, it's not worth doing for most students, only for those with good prior knowledge. The main textbook made a statement about prior knowledge and I think it's meant for people majoring in the field. The main problem is not the book, it's the wording of the exam questions. It reminded me of Shmoop, but even more frustrating I guess. But again, this had some straightforward questions too.

Study.com Systems Analysis and Design will be next and some non-CS courses. I'll try to finish Computer Architecture before going back to OD Intro Programming.

Edit: I was looking at Study.com's Data Structures course, and I'm glad it's Java based.

Edit: The TECEP has three 10 point essays and 70 multiple-choice questions. I'm sick of networking now.

Posted some more info about Saylor SE here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid276964

I will say that I noticed fewer outright errors on the SE course. That may be because I'm less experienced or maybe it's a little better. It was still very difficult because, like you said, the wording of the questions was very strange. Some had multiple correct answers. I have been much more satisfied with study.com. Saylor SE was planned for me as UL so I really wanted to go ahead with it, but I think I will end up taking advantage of some of Study.com's new offerings instead. 

As a sidetone, I Loved OD computer programming. Probably my favorite Course so far. It was difficult and I spent about 40 hours on it, but I'd been wanting to learn python for a while so I was glad I found a course to fulfill the programming requirement in the language I wanted. 

Thanks for the update!
