Provider: OnlineDegree.com
Course: Intro to Psychology
Course content: 16 Lessons - each with a UCI Open Lecture and several shorter YouTube videos related to the subject matter. There is a graded open book quiz at end of each unit spanning 5-7 questions.
Final exam format: 40 questions. Proctored by RPNow ($9 - course itself is free).
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: Same format of questions as the quizzes.
Time taken on course: About 3 days of total dedicated time on this course only. Maybe a little less.
Familiarity with subject before course: Very little.
Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: As with all the other OD courses I have taken, there are several typos and confusing phrasing in questions. I was expecting this however and it was not that bad. Occasionally, a question does not make any sense... There is a lot of new terminology to grasp if you are new to psychology. I found this the hardest part... The concepts were easy for me but the terminology was very hard to memorize. I thought I may not pass once I was several questions in to the final, but I ended up with an 85%. Would probably be better to do this in shorter sessions over a longer period of time to let the information sink in (in fact we learn this is a more effective way of memorizing things in the class itself...)
1-10 Difficulty level: 4
Provider: Sophia
Course: Student Success (1 credit)
Course content: 3 short units containing 2-3 challenges each plus a milestone.
Final exam format: 25 questions. Non-proctored.
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: Same format.
Time taken on course: A few hours.
Familiarity with subject before course: Some.
Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: This course is usually $49. I had previously taken both of Sophia's free courses, and was given $50 off my next course coupons for each - so when I applied the coupon, this course was FREE. Course is similar to the other two 1 credit courses. Anyone should be able to breeze through this in a few hours, I finished with 99% (Wondering what I got wrong... )
