It’s great that Study.com’s format accommodates different learning styles. For some lessons, instead of watching the videos, I just listened to them (sometimes while doing other things).
I only took notes for one course, Principles of Statistics. And I took a lot of notes for that one. (By the way, it was dfrecore who suggested that I really learn the vocab for that course, which served me well during the final.)
Occasionally, I copied and pasted definitions or formulas from the transcripts into a doc. I found it helpful to have the ability to do that.
After a while, I kind of got hooked on making progress on the quizzes. Also, in some cases, it’ll say “147 lessons,” but then the last 10 or so at the end are just flashcards or assignment instructions, which helps cut the daunting total number down a little.
Plus, the course placement tests provide a great way to get “credit” for some quizzes (that is, if you know the content) without taking the lessons. Only some of the courses I took offered placement tests, but I always looked for them on the overview page when starting a new course.
