The official guide to courses by Straighterline, Study, et al: We want YOUR input!
#98
Provider: Study.com
Course: BUS: 323 Organizational Theory (Transfers into a TESU as PSY-360)
Course content: Standard study.com quizzes, 1 research paper.
Final exam format: 70 multiple choice
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: The coursework prepares you for the final. Questions were a little tricky, and aimed at testing application of principles.
Time taken on course: about 5 days. 98 quizzes.
Familiarity with subject before course: None. It was quite interesting, and easy to follow.
Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: The research paper took time to complete. I wouldn’t say it was very difficult. Scored a 90 on the paper. Some of the lesson content is repetitive. In a few places, it is even confusing, because slightly different terminologies are being used to drive home the same concept.
1-10 Difficulty level: 4

Provider: Study.com
Course: PSY 301: Industrial-Organizational Psychology
Course content: 107 quizzes, 1 research paper
Final exam format: 70 multiple choice
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: The coursework prepares you for the final. This course requires a little bit of memorization of corporate terminologies, roles of HR, metrics used in HR etc.
Time taken on course: about 1 week.
Familiarity with subject before course: A bit, as I completed Org Theory prior to this one. Some of the concepts overlap. I would suggest completing I/O Psychology first and then moving on to Org Theory. Might make it easier.
Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: This research paper took lesser time, as I could build off some of the concepts from my Org Theory paper. So, if you took these courses together, it makes things easier.
1-10 Difficulty level: 5 (Memorizing stuff made it slightly more complex).

Provider: Study.com
Course: SOS 108: Ethics in the Social Sciences
Course content: 85 quizzes.
Final exam format: 70 multiple choice
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: Simple and straightforward for the most part. Some questions are hypothetical to test application of concepts.
Time taken on course: about 5 days.
Familiarity with subject before course: Some of the basic concepts like confidentiality, informed consent etc feature in all psychology courses.
Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: Something that helped me learn faster was to correlate principles I was learning with some people, life situations I have encountered.
