I often completed one or more entire Sophia courses in a single day. All of that information left my brain almost as soon as it entered.

While I am grateful for the kickstart it provided to my college experience, I don't think that I will actually end up using very many of my Sophia credits.
I agree. I've completed many Sophia.org courses. I think the information left my brain as soon as I completed their courses. The courses are too short and easy.
College-level courses should last for at least 2-3 months so your brain will remember the courses' contents.
Nobody is telling you to complete a course in 2 days or 2 weeks, and nobody is telling you not to read the material. So if your “brain” isn’t remembering the “course contents” it sounds like a personal problem/decision. We’re supposed to take personal responsibility for our learning. If Sophia isn’t good enough for you, so be it, but don’t knock on the people that it has helped. Because with your sly remarks it’s exactly what you’re doing.
