TESU BA Math and CS Degree Planning

[thornytumbleweed]

I've continued working away at the alternative credits and have made quite a bit of progress.  


As of today, I have completed the following in addition to what I previously posted:
Study.com
CS 306 Computer Architecture
CS 105 Operating Systems
MAT 108 Discrete Math

Google
Cloud Data Analytics Certificate
Cloud Cybersecurity

Straighterline
Calculus II

Onlinedegree.com
Introduction to programming

Some thoughts
I hated the straighterline course as the lecturer drove me bonkers.  I stopped watching the lectures and just read the transcripts.  I took calc II over 20 years ago and while I had to relearn the math skills with my more modern calculator (NSPIRE CAS), the underlying concepts were still present.  I didn't struggle much and got an 86% with only 6 days from start to finish.

Onlinedegree.com drove me insane as I am quite proficient at python programming and wanted to skip ahead.  Being forced to listen to the videos was annoying.  I would not use them for additional credits.  I save 70 dollars over taking intro to programming at study.com.  Not sure if it was worth the 70 dollars in savings.

Study.com has been an efficient way to get credit.  CS 306's assignment to create an ALU was challenging.  

I really enjoyed the IBM and Google courses at Coursera.  The ones I liked the most were the ones that were practical applications.  Many of the IBM courses had assignments the required the use of VS code and python.  I liked this a lot.  However, I do think that I learn best this way.

I am debating on the benefits of continuing with the second major in Math.  Currently I am thinking about doing a masters degree in applied statistics.  This is the program that I am currently looking at. https://online.uky.edu/masters/applied-statistics/mas 

I have applied and been accepted to TESU; however, I have not yet received an evaluation.  I am hopeful that there won't be any big surprises.

Ideally I will need the two required classes and nothing else.
