Transferring from AU. A student asks for feedback on experiences with transferring from AU to another university. Most responses indicated that AU is considerably more difficult than other universities, given its self-directed study format. In another post, a student indicates that AU’s computer science program has a lot of readings but not enough programming.

Easy AU courses! A student asks for “fast and easy” AU course recommendations. Students suggest CMIS 245, which is a Microsoft Office course (four days to complete with minimal effort); COMP 210, which involves basic computing (three days to complete); and EDPY 351, which is a psychology course (which can be completed within two months).
