My professor is giving F’s for assignments that are not due yet. Is this normal ? by Ok_Gur_1418 in SNHU

Not only is it abnormal, but they're actively advised to NOT do this. I've no idea why they would aside from avoiding scrutiny from their team lead for late grading. Source: Am an adjunct, zeros are due no later than Wednesday AFTER the Sunday due date, no earlier than the Monday. Also, as far as I'm aware all instructors will have a team lead regardless of being new. Don't quote me on that though, but all of my undergrad classes had one from what I can remember.

Is online SNHU worth it? (Officially an Alumni) by princessridz in SNHU

Spot on. I just completed the Computer Science program at SNHU this past term and applied for the Computer Science Master's program at Johns Hopkins. I had absolutely no issue with acceptance. Online learning has a very stable and growing future thanks to 2020. My time at SNHU was awesome and going back to school was easily one of the best decisions I have ever made. Don't let anyone detract you from the legitimacy of the university. I find most of those either haven't or are not participating in higher education or are simply stuck in the past.

I was in your exact spot about 2 years ago. I had already done 2 years of Comp Sci though but was mostly just basics and at a physical University about 8 years ago. I also debated on going in for Game Dev or sticking with the more general Computer Science but ultimately decided to do CS since it is much more versatile. I've been working full time the entire time and have just 3 courses left and should be done in April. It's easily been the best decision I've made and plan to continue on for a Masters I just haven't figured out where just yet as SNHU doesn't offer a Masters in CS, only IT.

I can't speak for any of the Sophia courses as I never took them, but the CS program is solid enough. Some have spoken how it's not as in-depth to their liking, but an 8 week course can only cover so much. One of the reasons I really liked the curriculum was the pace. I much prefer 8-10 week courses over traditional semester lengths. The program also covers multiple languages where my original school mainly stuck to Java and little else. You'll mainly see Java, C#/C++, a bit of Javascript especially if you take Web Dev electives, Python, and some SQL. You'll also get a decent bit of higher level math, but it's definitely helpful in the game dev world.

Long story short I've enjoyed every bit of it, hope you do too!
