my CS degree study plan: need help
#18
@Felisa, To make things easier, you need a recap of what has been told, here's my details.  Work on Sohpia.org, Study.com, then TESU.  I would choose Sophia.org for the Intro to Java Programming along with Calculus I, and complete the remainder from Study.com and your total cost at TESU is the flat rate tuition for one term at $4299!!  As I mentioned, invest in a second monitor if you don't already have one, only work on 1 flat rate term at TESU, not two.  Again...
Total time & cost: 4 months at Sophia.org $299, 3 months at Study.com $420 (with 30% coupon), 3 months TESU flat rate $4299
Total time is 10 months, total cost is $5018, you get this done within a year and much cheaper than the two terms you said $8598!

One: This is how I will play things, skip the Medical Terminology TECEP, you have an opportunity to take up to 5 TECEPs free, you can add the Computer Concepts and Applications (CIS-1070-TE) and the Network Technology (CMP-3540-TE), you want to register and see if they charge you, if they don't, take it for the enrollment purposes and a chance at getting the credit, do the CIS-1070 first, use the practice test for Saylor.org CS402: Computer Communications and Networks, then take the Network Technology TECEP.  

Two: Take CSM Learn (Intro to Algorithms, Quantitative Literacy), then Sophia.org for a month if you don't want to take 4 months there.  It's just $75 with coupon, do the Calculus I and Intro to Java Programming, and Statistics.  I wanted you to take the 4 months just in case you want to get the BSBA CIS freebie, you can get almost all the business courses through them, it's very easy.

Three: Take Study.com for 3 months to complete the required courses listed for the BACS only (for now, there will be a couple of courses you can take for the BSBA CIS though if you want that degree as well).  Update your spreadsheet with the Sophia.org and also Study.com courses mentioned previously.  It prepares you for TESU courses for your final flat rate term...

Four: Work on your TESU final flat rate term, here is where you will have 'discrepancies' as everyone gives different advice.  1,2,3 will be the very similar or identical courses, 4 is going be where you decide which way you swing.  Here's an example of someone doing the BACS/BA Biology and adding the BSBA CIS as it gives more ROI/Value for little extra work: Degree Advice for a semi-successful dropout

To get into greater detail of step four, the person also is missing 'business core classes' which I told them to do entirely through Sophia.org and the FREE TECEPs.  If you take a couple more months on Sophia.org and, you can get the BSBA CIS free, you add 3 TECEPs to the two above to get all 5 freebies: Introduction to Marketing (MKT-2010-TE), Principles of Managerial Accounting (ACC-1020-TE), and Business in Society (BUS-3110-TE)
