Course: 101-Intro to Psychology
Course content: The usual study.com content. Nicely presented videos followed by quizzes with 5-6 questions. 108 lessons in all.
Final exam format: 100 questions. Multiple choice. No Essay.
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: Questions are partly from the lessons/chapter quizzes, and many new questions too.
Time taken on course: About a week. I had a lot of free time. It should probably take 10 or more days for others.
Familiarity with subject before course: Never heard of it before taking the course. Learned many new things. Overall, the course laid a good foundation for other specialised Psychology courses like Growth and Development Psychology. This course gives an overview of the major methods and approaches in this field.
How would you have scored on the final with no preparation? I might have not passed the exam.
Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: I particularly enjoy the lesson summary at the end. For many chapters, just revising the summary part helped. But sometimes, the summary is too brief, and one might need to read through the lesson as a whole. There are some important points not covered in the summary.
1-10 Difficulty level: 3-4.
Provider: Study.com
Course: 103- Human Growth and Development Psychology
Course content: Usual study.com content. Very well presented. Quite an extensive course that covers several areas of human life from prenatal to adulthood to old age. 95 lessons in all. Some lessons overlap with Psych 101 course. But many new lessons offering a lot of understanding into language learning, childhood development stages etc.
Final exam format: 100 questions. 120 minutes. Multiple choice. No Essay.
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: Questions are partly from the lessons/chapter quizzes, and many new questions too.
Time taken on course: About a week. I completed this course alongside Psych 101. So, the two courses kind of complemented each other.
Familiarity with subject before course: Never heard of it before taking the course.

Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: Nothing in particular. I guess Study.com generally does not try to test memory. They seem to test understanding of concepts more. So, questions pertaining to the exact years when some Psychologist developed their theory are usually not to be seen in the exams. Although, they do appear some times.
1-10 Difficulty level: 4-5.

Course: 104- Social Psychology 1
Course content: Usual study.com content. Very well presented. Felt quite simple. 91 lessons in all. Many lessons overlap with Psych 101 & Psych 103 courses. But many new lessons offering a lot of understanding into social behaviour.
