Quote:"All of them are free, of high quality, and from one of the best universities of the world.

You can easily fill up your 24 RA creds requirement at TESU.
My recommendation: do 50 ECTS (become at least 25 US creds) worth of free courses at the University of Helsinki, send that to a foreign creds evaluator, such as ACEI (I used them for Helsinki, and they were fast), and ACEI sends it to TESU, and you're done with RA requirements. ACEI will charge about $250 for one course-by-course transcript evaluation right now, but you'd check their current prices, I did it last year.

Heck, you can also take random courses like Basics of Agricultural technology or Me and my cat, me and my dog courses, if you like to meet the RA creds this way.

What are you waiting for? Smile"

Quote:50 ECTS > I will make a "set" for us all to do that is "FOOL PROOF" (BUT MADE BY A FOOL, me, lol) for "easy" passes
IMHO = #'s 5 to 10 > $'s 23 to 24 > #'s 39 to 44 > Solo #46 > #'s 49 to 54

NOTE: The Cyber/DevOps/Fullstack courses, are free... but go "well past" intro to/100-level (might not be "easy" to the non-techy)


Closing access? >> This says to me, DO THEM NOW

Hi everybody,

It won't take long till I'll register for the Capstone. That's why, I did some research on both this forum and what TESU's latest syllabus requires.
The most recent forum in terms of TESU changing the capstone requirements were discussed in is this thread: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...a-of-study

On MyProgress dashboard, I can select either LIB-4950 (LA Capstone-Humanities) or LIB-4970 (LA Capstone-NS, M, CS). As I intend to get my BACS, I'd naturally enroll in LIB-4970; however, I'd like to hear from others their experiences and opinions on taking this capstone or the humanities one as BACS student. You can find its corresponding syllabus here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11AxJ...IWZRTN6fk/

According to this LIB-4970 syllabus, you need to do this:

• Online discussions (5)—20%
  
• Written assignments (4)—30% 
  
• ETS Major Field Test or Written Communication Assessment—10%    
  
• E-Proficiency Profile—5%   
  
• Capstone project (2 parts)—35%   
  • Academic research paper—25%  
    

Just curious, if you pay $50 application fee and $52 for a TECEP, and you transfer in a bunch of credits for evaluation, would those credits be on your "Official" Transcript if you ordered one? Or do you actually need to pass the TECEP for those evaluated credits to show up on an Official Transcript? I've heard both sides of the coin...

Should I even bother applying to UMPI? I'm a transfer student with ~42 credits towards electrical engineering, but I'm trying to speed run a degree, I don't care much what it's in. I'm in Maine. I heard that ETAMU (formerly known as Texas A&M - Commerce) is also a great option.
I have yet to explore Straighterline, Sophia, or Study.com, but am looking forward to doing so and getting this done. Thank you

I've searched here but did not come up with much for what courses will transfer in to fulfill the 18 credits of Computer Science electives needed for the ASNSM (AS) in Computer Science.

The following transfer to TESU but will they apply to the 18 credits of Computer Science electives?

Sophia:
Introduction to Information Technology (CIS-1070 Computer Concepts and Applications)
Introduction to Java Programming (COS-1110 Introduction to Programming)
Introduction to Networking (ITS-1400 Introduction to Networking)
Introduction to Programming in Python (ITS-1500 Computer Programming I)
Introduction to Relational Databases (ITS-1300 Database Fundamentals)

TEEX:
AWR 168 Foundations of Cyber Crimes (CYB-121 Legal Aspects of Cybersecurity)
AWR 174 Cyber Ethics (CYB-122 Ethical Aspects of Cybersecurity)

Thanks

I'm interested in hearing the groups answers to who they think are in the top 5 schools in terms of:

which has the most course transfer options

which has the lowest per credit hour tuition

which CBE schools are the fastest

etc.


Also. I know Modern States is good for CLEP and I know about the ACE and NCCRS courses you can take, but where are some of the best places to find other microcertifications and full certificates that can be transferred into schools?

I'm looking for general knowledge not for a specific degree or school. Thanks.

I'm thinking of taking Elementary Spanish I (SPA-1010) at TESU for an elective. Has anyone taken this? How hard is it for someone who is a beginner in Spanish?

Like an onion, this area/topic seems to have layers 

As I've been exploring this site, I've learned a lot.  I'm very much interested in the ability to take these non-US based platforms and FCE them into grad certs and credits here in the US, so like many (I assume), I started with ENEB (I'd rather have the inexpensive college credit/certs than spend the same $ for something like Coursera, edX, etc).  Personally I have had a great experience with them with no complaints at all.  That said, I wanted more options than just business related programs so I started searching and found Masstercursos.  I'm probably 90% sold on them being my next platform, but I continued to search and found Woolf and eMagister.  Unlike ENEB and Masstercursos, Woolf and eMagister appear to be aggregators (for lack of a better term), bringing together various programs from other institutions and offering a much larger scope of subject matter, which very much appeals to me.  The Woolf offerings SEEM like they'll be easier to FCE into certs/credits here (TBD), but I think I'll need to go institution by institution with the eMagister offerings to see how those will fare.  I might be biting off more than I can chew here, but are there any other "aggregators" out there (preferably proven to FCE if possible) that I should explore?  I don't mind the research as I love to learn (that's why many of us are here I'd say), but I'm not sure what exactly I'd search FOR when trying to find more options.  Any help with search terms or even helping point me at specific sites would be greatly appreciated. TIA
