Provider: Sophia
Course: Introduction to Ethics
Course content: I only read the text, but there are videos available.
Final exam format: Multiple choice
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: You really need to take at least Greek Philosophers before taking this course. Otherwise, the questions don't align all that well with the content.
Time taken on course: I didn't keep track, but I multiple hours per day on it.
Familiarity with subject before course: I had already taken Greek Philosophers and Intro to Psychology and the questions in the Ethics course covered a lot of what had already been covered in Philosophers. Not so much Psychology, but I do believe that it was nevertheless helpful. Units 2 and 3 were the worst and most confusing.
1-10 Difficulty level: 3 or 4, but only because I'd already taken Greek Philosophers and Intro to Psychology. There was a lot of overlap. If I hadn't taken those first, it'd have been at least a 6 or a 7.
Provider: Sophia
Course: Ancient Greek Philosophers
Course content: Text
Final exam format: Multiple choice
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: They align fairly well. There were only a few confusing questions in the milestone/exam
Time taken on course: Less than a day; it's only 1 unit.
Familiarity with subject before course: ASU Western Civilization had briefly touched on Greek philosophers just before I took this course, so I had some vague familiarity. However, this course went into significantly more depth.
1-10 Difficulty level: 2 or 3; there are some confusing segments, but it's not too bad. As long as you thoroughly read the text, you should be able to get a passing grade.
IMO, this is a definite prerequisite to understanding Sophia's Intro to Ethics course.
