I did Sophia that was awesome way of teaching as well, looking at the milestones and stuff it helped me learn.
In my opinion a path in the right direction for SL would have been a close book exam or ensuring the reader goes through all pages and answer the questions in the tutorial slides like Sophia or TEEX I liked those ones they made sense I can still go with my own pace and learn.
My only grip is getting caught by surprise (btw the site is still not updated); Writing 10 essay giving summaries of each chapter and the main thing waiting for it to be manually corrected that will slow down the progress. This is not about making it hard its about adding fluff. The essay is only 100 points total so even if you bombed all of them its not going to effect the overall score.
May be I am getting paranoid here, but not sure how a teacher would like if I send him all 10 essay in a week, the topics of Sociology is not that complicated to need weeks specially for old folks like usplus I have already started sociology study using you tube videos last week so hope to finish this soon.
I know folks suggested I get a refund, but I am not running away will give it a good try. Who knows may be I will love it
Glad you are going to give it a try. Please let us know how it goes. Sociology was all multiple-choice when I took it but I actually like essay questions. They feel less tricky and allow you to demonstrate knowledge.
