New Sophia course as of 4/1/21
#11
IT Career Exploration: Not a bad little 1-credit course. It is 1000% better than the Intro to Web Design one. It's still not especially useful if you are already familiar with IT/technology but it's a good possible elective credit even for non-tech-minded people.

Same, here. After I finish my BS up this year I plan to buy a month of sophia to finish up all the interesting business and "IT" courses for fun/personal development.

It’s live today!

I hate that the “personal finance” & 1 credit IT Career Exploration both have touchstones. It takes forEVER to get anything graded on Sophia. I’m happy there are new classes (I’ve taken everything else they have), but I also bought the annual plan. I can’t imagine paying monthly & having to wait 1 week+ for the grade before you can move on to new classes.

I can't promise it'll be the same in the future, but IT Career Exploration does not require that you wait for Touchstone grading in order to finish the course. They are mostly self-assessments of what you've been reading about.

I'm still working on Intro to Relational Databases. Milestone 1 is 36 questions and requires that you query the practice database while doing the Milestone. Milestone 2 will probably be 25 questions.

It's the first Sophia course where it would be handy to have 4 monitors:
1 for the challenges/milestones
1 for the PDF file
1 for W3Schools https://www.w3schools.com/sql/default.asp
1 for the practice database
