  General Chemistry I
Posted by: MoeSizzle323 - 03-07-2025, 02:43 AM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (1)

How hard was General Chemistry at TESU? It is my last class for my BS and it is wrecking me. Just started and these Alex questions and assignments are taking me hours , are the exams just as hard? 60 percen of the grade is 3 exams. Will it get easier or is it all math? I did all the labs separately and they werent nearly as hard. What worked for you?

Question BA in Liberal Studies CS and NSM Concentration Questions
Posted by: Ares - 03-06-2025, 04:12 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (13)

I am helping someone plan their degree but I have some questions about the BA in Liberal Studies Concentrations. I searched the forums but I could not find an answer for this.

For the 18 credits in the BALS Computer Science Concentration:

Quote:A. Concentration (18 Credits)

COS-3300 - Computer Architecture
COS-2410 - Data Structures
COS-2050 - Python Programming
3
Select 9 credits from the following:

COS-4510 - Artificial Intelligence
CIS-3110 - Database Management
CIS-3200 - System Analysis and Design I
CIS-3510 - Software Engineering

1. Do they have to take these exact course names or transfer equivalents, or do they have flexibility for any transferable Computer Science / CIS courses at the same level?

1A. If they have to take these exact course names or transfer equivalents do we have a list here of transfer equivalents?

2. This is also confusing because the Degree Requirements state that "a minimum of 18 credits must be upper level, 3000 level or above, and no more than 6 credits at the 1000 level in the area of study" but they only have 5 (15 credits) listed here for UL credit not 18. So how would you meet that requirement? A: The capstone counts as one of the upper level courses, so that gets to you to 18.

3. I noticed the Capstone has changed and now says "LIB-4970 - Liberal Arts Capstone - Natural Sciences, Math and Computer Science". From what I read here if it was a BA degree the capstone would be on anything Liberal Arts related, I assume that changed and what does it mean?


For the 18 credits in the BALS Natural Sciences and Math Concentration:

Quote:Students complete 18 credits of Natural Science/Mathematics courses. For TESU course options go to Natural Sciences and Mathematics.

4. I have read here that this has to be in 2 or more NSM categories but it does not state this on the degree page so can all of these be Computer Science or CIS courses?

Thanks

Apple updates MacBook Air with M4 faster chips, cuts price

https://www.axios.com/2025/03/05/apple-m...er-cheaper

Buy MacBook Air (Note $100 wink, wink, education discount)

https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook-air

One thing I noticed is that the 15" MacBook Air is similar in price to the 13" version $1,199.

Those 13"/14" laptops have too small of a screen for me to use and Apple won't let you buy a 16" MacBook Pro without spending at least $2,499.00.

Best Value Windows Laptop that is similar to MacBook Air???

  • 16GB RAM
  • 1TB PCIE G4 SSD
  • Intel Core Ultra 7-155H processor
  • 15.6 inch 3K OLED 120Hz 100% RGB color gamut, and 500 nits peak brightness
  • Up to 16 hours of battery life
  • 3.31 lbs
$668

WGU Artificial Intelligence Course 

Has anyone taken this here, and if so, what feedback do they have? I'm also interested in others that are for credit or CERT based.

  Transferring credits from UOP to Tesu since its now regionally accredited
Posted by: Puremadniss - 03-06-2025, 08:42 AM - Forum: UoPeople - University of the People Discussion - Replies (4)

Since it is now regionally accredited. Do you think this might be a great way to get some RA credits, especially for computer science? I’m thinking of enrolling, taking a semester and seeing if it transfers in. I just need to fill some RA credits for TESU.

  What do you think about Peirce College?
Posted by: RaiponceRapunzel - 03-06-2025, 03:37 AM - Forum: General "Big 3", B&M colleges, and other colleges - Replies (11)

I found Peirce College through Sophia Learning and they’re a partner school. They seem to be very transfer friendly allowing between 90-102 credit hours of transfer towards certain degrees. Their website, at least to me was transparent about this. I know it’s more expensive compared to other unis, but I think they’re comparable to UMPI or TESU in terms of accepting alternative credits.

  Has anyone recently enrolled at COSC?
Posted by: RaiponceRapunzel - 03-06-2025, 03:08 AM - Forum: COSC - Charter Oak State College Discussion - Replies (10)

Hi all, 

I’ve been lurking for awhile and finally joined this forum. Like the title says, has anyone recently enrolled at COSC? I know it’s no longer a top college for degree hacking, but I’m just curious if anyone has recently enrolled and is currently taking classes. I wonder what their transfer of credits is like for 2025.

Bug Bsc Computer Science Degree Plan (Masters Focused)
Posted by: somethingdudesomething - 03-05-2025, 03:54 AM - Forum: UoPeople - University of the People Discussion - Replies (6)

Degree Plan
Notes:

  • This contains a 120 credit plan for a AI & ML Focused BscCS. I've listed all Sophia alternative I know transfer, and not sure (red) would (check with advisor) and ACE alternatives otherwise (try to pick study.com and then Saylor ones as UoPeople staff have experience transferring them after Sophia).
  • I listed Sophia primarily cause 1) I like their 99 bucks do as many as you want model & 2
  • From 2-23 are courses I highly recommend you take with the Uni and push your instructors to write you letters of recommendations for your masters degree.
  • Included my own subjective course rating (for example Web Programming 1 & 2 suck).
  • At the bottom transferrable certificates for multiple course credits transfers listed, check with advisor.
  • Moocs are added for supplementing your masters application, they are recommended but optional.
Masters:
Imho, For around 10k USD there are 4 "good" programs (in my subjective research) that you can get into with a good GPA, good CV, and good LoRs (Letters of Recommendations):
US:
  1. UTAustin MSAI (Flat 10K for the whole degree, math heavy, the best AI one imo) QS (Uni not CS) 66:
    - Texas at Austin is a highly reputable school and this program has very good outcomes later, especially in research and employment.
    Requirements: [Good CV, Good Statement of Purpose (SoP), and you will need the MOOCS]
    - Selective.
  2. GaTech OMSCS (~8-9k ish for the whole degree, best CS imo) QS 114: 
    - Heavy.
    Requriements: Same + 3 Letters of recommendations. 
    - A little selective.
  3. West Governers MsCS(~4 (don't think that's possible for 1 6 months session) or ~8k for 2 * 6 months session) QS Unranked:
    - This program makes no sense to me with the two aforementioned existing, but is a good program.
    - You need to live in the US or be a US soldier abroad or very selective areas of Canada.
  4. UoPeople (MSIT): (~5k) QS = Unranked: 
    - Would not recommend, it's not cheap, or that good.
    - It seems UoPeople increased its MSIT course fee to 400$ after RA, wow  Dodgy.
UK:
  1. Bath MScAI (Around 11K Pounds for the whole degree, Applied AI Heavy) QS 150: 
    - Pros: Research heavy school, highly reputable:
    [Image: zeLSJvm.jpeg]
    - They seem to favour a very small group for each intake so instructors can give them attention, instructor focused program. You only deal with your instructors during the degree you never interact with other students (this for me is good, could be not very good for other people).
    - Curriculum is hard, and the degree will take a MINIMUM of 2 years 3 months to finish, with a dessertation your professor will be 1 on 1 involved with you on (Again research heavy).
    - But, very good prospects with this masters, especially for PhD.
    - They actually didn't know what "UoPeople" was at first, it took them a bit of convincing, I think it's a long shot for most UoPeople undergrads but I got in, so you can too (just make sure you are good at math and LoRs and good CV, and a very good SoP they care about that the most).
  2. York MScAI (Around 11K Pounds for the whole degree, Generic) QS 184:
    - York reputation itself is great and is part of the Russel Group (including Cambridge and Oxford) for research, but their online programs not so much.
    - Accepts pretty much anyone with a bachelor degree, so it's more of a "Generic Conversion Masters".
    - You begin with Data Structures and then things escalate very quickly, and due to low acceptance threshold, a lot of people suffer and complain about the program (this is my conclusion).
    - Low instructor involvement in the course and reliance on gradescope and stuff mostly, means you are pretty much on your own (This is fine for me except for uninvolved grading, but I know for most students, not so much, as I am spending a lot of time answering students questions on the forum with the instructors pretty much absent).
    - The material is good and it seems to be undergoing a design change, you are really leaning on York reputation for this degree though.
    - Being tempered in UoPeople insane weekly workload, this degree will be a breeze for you, especially the minimal no grading students interactions.
I made this list before UoPeople RA, I know with RA anabin database will add UoPeople as HS++ thingie and will also be very good German options, appreciate input if good degrees especially with good QS found in other countries for around the 10k budget in the future.

  Pell Grant???
Posted by: midnite123 - 03-05-2025, 02:55 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (4)

Hi,

                      If you receive a Pell Grant for $7,000,
                      But your college costs are say $4,000,
do you keep the extra $3,000 for Housing, and other expenses like computers?

THANK YOU!!!
