For English 2, it's graded like this:
Quizzes 10%
Assignments 70%
Final Exam 20%
I decided to just go with Study.com because it's guaranteed transfer to TESU. I'm sure they'd accept it from somewhere else but it's only $75. I think it'd be $15 cheaper at Sophia or something. It's the first class I'm doing. Computer architecture is the other class I'm looking at doing at Study.com because I haven't found it available anywhere else.
I've finished all of the quizzes for English 2 but it's still only showing a 76% because I didn't pass them all. I have to retake 20 or so because I basically just went quiz to quiz clicking through them as fast as I could. I did 30 quizzes today while at break at work. It just looks like I have to pass all of the quizzes and not just click through them all in order to get them checked off, so 80% or more for each of the 70something quizzes!
The overall required score is just a 70%, so even getting an 80% on the quizzes is 8 points, so I could make a 91 overall on the assignments and fail the test. I just don't know how strict they are on the assignments. I'm a very good writer, actually, and just passed Public Speaking with an A+. It required several essays.
The other courses have more weight in the quizzes and final than this one does. It's 33% for each part for Python, for example, so I have a lot more room to mess around.
Python and Software Engineering I can do at Saylor for $5 each exam. I've already read through the first two Python lessons on Saylor, but the Study.com version of the course looks much more interesting. They teach it in a more practical way and give reasons to do things, like networking and touching on advanced topics. The Saylor course is very fundamental and just shows how to do things like loops, etc., without any reason why you'd want to do them.
I have 4 months to do the three IT courses and need to get English 2 done by August because it's a requirement for the capstone. Then I'll be taking my final 3 classes at TESU: liberal arts capstone, artificial intelligence, and data structures. The latter two are actually interchangeable with the three IT courses I plan on taking at Study.com, but I've already talked to student services and that's just how my degree plan is scheduled.
