My sons took a few CS courses from Saylor. It seems like that is one of the courses my two sons took because it was a network course. They were all quite bad in the sense that they took way longer than you would imagine. Then, when they transferred into TESU, they only counted for lower level courses. My first suggestion is to speak to an advisor to make sure things transfer in like you hope. Several of the Saylor courses keep losing/gaining accreditation, and even then TESU does not have to accept them at the same level as Saylor has them listed. Cost wise it was a great deal. The info was OK, but a ton of reading.
If you do decide to take it, my suggestion is to first sign up for the course more than once just to be able to take multiple practice final exams. Of course only use your account with your real information when you take the "real" exam. My sons were able to share practice exams. However, they were only allowed one practice final exam a week. Then study all the practice exams and keep practicing the different ones. I think there were a total of 6 when they took them. I know some on here that had problems with the online proctors and connections. We never had any problems with that though. I suppose it could be possible to take the final exams and pass the course from practicing those, but not sure you would really get much out of the course that way. My sons ended up reading all of the material. Sometimes the exams had weird answers still, and one on two questions per exam never had a real answer, but all in all it was only a pass/fail course anyway.
I just checked and according to Saylor's own site, this course will not transfer in to TESU at all. Not sure what college you are attending, but I would check this first by clicking on the college, and then check with my college also to make sure this information about the college transfer is accurate. https://www.saylor.org/partners/credit/
