I need two more classes to finish my degree. If I can get credit by testing out of one, I'll only need to take one.

This one is required (we're not sure yet if I will get credits for testing out of it, or if the requirement will just be waived):

CMPL 511 Software Tools
This introductory course is for students with
some previous knowledge and exposure to
computers and serves as a foundation course for
all other computer courses. The focus of the
course is on personal computers and their
applications, concentrating on computers using
a Windows operating system. Basic hardware
and software concepts are reviewed and examined
in depth. The lab activities concentrate on gaining
proficiency in the use of 1) a common operating
system; 2) software applications, including
word-processing, spreadsheets, and presentation
software; 3) tools such as the World Wide Web
including electronic mail; and 4) information
resources and research databases. Students are
introduced to databases and networking.
Through readings and discussion, students
explore the social and ethical aspects of the
computerization of society. RECOMMENDED:

experience. 4 credits



This is one of my options for the other class:
