I actually just took it a few weeks ago and passed. http://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/clep-principles-of-marketing-w-online-practice-tests-6th-edition-james-r-ogden/1116089432/2688362806492?st=PLA&sid=BNB_DRS_Marketplace+Shopping+greatbookprices_00000000&2sid=Google_&sourceId=PLGoP24151&a... is the book I used. The content is very clear and concise, and the book has online quizzes to take. The CLEP test itself is pretty easy, and takes about an hour to finish. If you study about 2 hr/day for maybe 10 days, you should pass easily. Good luck!

That was my first thought on "cheaply" fixing the board. Do a custom etch to replace the actual board, then de-solder all the components and re-solder them on the new board. Obviously buying replacement parts too.

What is "enjoyable" for you? this is a term which depend of your personal criteria, Bio-Chemistry is a very tough program, so if you want to "enjoy" classes I recommend you to check the professor's rating, http://www.ratemyprofessors.com before enrolling in any class, that way you can guarantee you are going to enjoy what you are learning. Having a bad professor could turn your career path in a very disappointing and frustrating mess. About prices I wouldn't say it's cheap or expensive, it is pretty average, and again it depends of your affordability, for many students prices are very expensive and for the lucky ones very cheap. If you are already in San Antonio you have already an idea about what social life is in he city so it is not going to be very different at UTSA.

There are some conferences for students heading the dental school program at the beginning of the semester, there is an office in the MS Building, third floor where you can find out more about it, I can't remember the name now but it is a health career office. I know there is a good program at UT Austin.

You also can read the downvoted opinions in this post. They are important. You always are going to find people with good and bad experiences at UTSA and reading to ALL of them it might help you to picture an idea about the school, but at the end your experience depend of you and it's going to be unique. Good luck!

Computer security professional who graduated from UTSA here. Can't tell ya what their current policies are, but the best way to get around any monitoring they have is to use a VPN service. There's a few free ones out there but they are significantly slower and not great for file downloads. I'd suggest a paid one like Private Internet Access. It's about $40 a year and can be used on pc/mobile and Mac I believe.

Don't forget to have peer block or peer guardian running while you torrent.

Intro to Python Programming

I would recommend checking out this course. It's free and the instructor does a great job explaining the syntax. It includes quizzes after each lesson which you get to practice what you've learned.

Fantastic! Any plans on making one for Firefox? I'm currently using Video Speed Controller but I'd gladly give yours a try once it (hopefully) makes it to Firefox

Those are weird and oddly specific specs (I'm doing a cs degree and I just generally know hardware)

At this point in time, I'd be surprised if any current laptop didnt have an ssd, and I'd recommend having access to at least 1 tb of storage (dont restrict yourself only to internal storage on the laptop)

As for ram, windows tends to run at the speed of smell on systems with less than about 12 GB (especially if you use chrome regularly). I'd reccomend 16 as it's the next standard ram spec up from 8 and it will make actually using the laptop a much smoother experience. In data analysis, you could probably squeak by with 8 GB if you're really tight on money, but I do not reccomend it as that specific type of work uses a ton of ram.

For cpu spec, be careful, for faster operation, make sure you find a cpu capable of hyper/multithreading, it's going to be useful for very intense single processes. As for core count, I cant really see needing more than 4 for for almost anything.

GPU doesn't really matter in this case (some people might disagree with that).

This LG gram meets all my recommendations for $1500 and is only 3 pounds so it'll be easy to walk around campus with.

If you're looking for more cerebral literature, anything by Ayn Rand, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Thomas Pain, or (slight cringe) Thomas Moore. Also, "The Prince" is a good read, as are C.S. Lewis' non-fiction works. If, by chance, you read (and found it interesting) "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, you might also want to check out "Hagakure" by Yamamoto Tsunetomo.

Reading in general: "Watership Down" by Richard Adams, anything by W.B. Yeats or Edgar Poe (and not just their poems), Robert Frost, and "Metagame" was an interesting novel too.

I bought this less than a year ago for $100, new. That one on the link is not mine, that is a way earlier model. This is the one I have Link and it's going for more than $130

Here is the book had had us use. Pay careful attention to the sed, awk, and perl sections. There's a ton you can do with perl, and Maynard is very specific on what he wants everyone to focus on. He'll give you a tiny packet on what you'll need to know. The low level C part is pretty crazy, but he'll give you enough rope to hang yourself.

You will be writing programs for the tests. It will range from writing a script, to writing a function, to writing an entire program. It's hard to describe Maynard, honestly. For instance, on one of my tests I switched my dup2() statements effectively switching input/output. He took off 10 points out of 25. On certain topics he'll want to make a point and be very heavy handed with the grading. The programs especially.

The good news is that all of the quizzes, programs, and tests really don't matter. The final does. I got an 82 on the first test, 42 on the second, and subpar on all the programs. Got an A in the class because I beasted the final. As long as you dedicate 50% of your time that semester to Systems, and the rest of the time for everything else, you'll do fine.

The apps are in Java, which I have programmed with in the past, but I have never tried to make an actual app. Java is a pretty easy language to learn. I taught myself in a few weeks with this book.
