Intro To Computing - use for Nat Sci/Math for TESC Business Degree?

[bricabrac]

Levi_1989,

CIS-107 (course) and COS-101 (test) do not duplicate. Although tests COS-101-CE and COS-101-DE are duplicates. I know its a bit confusing.

Any who, to get the best bang for your buck -

1. Take the course CIS-107/Computer Concepts & Applications to fulfill the business core requirement (much easier than COS-101 because it does not include BASIC programming)
   
2. Test DSST COS-101/Introduction to Computing for gen ed requirement (it is basically the same information as the CIS-107 course)
   
3. You can then go one step further and test DSST MIS-301/Managment Information Systems for UL business or gen ed credit after brief review of IC flashcards.

Bottom line - the test version of COS-101-DE is much easier than the actual course. CIS-107 counts as a science course and gives you the necessary foundation for other computer science tests so why not take it?

Hope this helps!

bricabrac,

I understand that DSST Intro to Computing would technically count towards the Natural Science/Math requirement, but if he's going to use DSST Intro to Comp to fulfill the business core requirement for "Computer Concepts and Applications/Introduction to Computers/CIS," then the same test can't be used for both requirements.....correct?
