Pursuing CS Degree at 33 - starting from 0

[davewill]

I do like this path and appreciate you sharing those CS electives via Coursera; I'm definitely interested in grabbing some certifications along the way and like the Coursera platform in general. 

Assuming I maxed out the credits I could get from there and Sophia - there's no way to get the RA credits through TESU at all, even if I were to be open to enrolling for more than 1 term? If I have to get them elsewhere, no worries, but I don't mind having to spend a few terms at TESU if necessary.

Of course you can get more of your credits from TESU. The only reason we don't tell people to do that is that it's more expensive than the other choices, and you have to work with the 12 week terms rather than at your own pace. If you can live with another 15cr fixed price term, that brings the price and time spent down quite a bit.
