Help with COSC degree plan and various other questions.

I recently took Sophia Project Management, I'm going to assume that the Microeconomics course is similar. I had to take 3 "challenges" (quizzes) and then a "milestone" (test) for each Unit, and there were 4 units. Since I did not have a clue about the course, I actually watched all of the videos first. Luckily, if you DO know the material, you can just go ahead and take the quizzes and the tests. As long as you get an average of 70% on all of the challenges & milestones, you are good. The final thing you do is take the "ID Verification Milestone" through ProctorU, it was very simple to set up and do. I did it on an old computer that my husband had wiped clean. I'd feel very uncomfortable doing it on my regular computer. Call me paranoid.

ALEKS is structured differently. You are given an assessment at the beginning to see where you stand, if you get a 70% on the assessment, you are finished. If not, you continue working through the program until you can score a 70% on an assessment. There is no proctor, and no final exam. But, they only have math courses.

I haven't taken a course through SL, so I can't help you there.
