Study.com - Course Progress? Is this normal??

[Zavala]

Prior knowledge and your own goals have a lot to do with the speed. If you know a subject already, reading the material is sufficient, but for things you aren’t familiar wraith, you will need to slow down and watching the videos certainly helps.

I took a bunch of business courses, which went very quickly due to workplace training I had received. But when taking Statistics, especially the math portions (which I haven’t used in years) the videos were needed for it to make sense to me... some I even watched twice.

A couple tips on the videos... First, there is a little settings button on the player that allows the video to be set to go faster, up to 2X normal speed. Also, there is a Timeline function beneath the video that lets you jump to a topic within the lesson, or jump back if something didn’t make sense.

One other nice thing is a lot of courses overlap, so for example if you check the other Finance courses, you should have some progress already after completing your first one. Good luck!
