Provider: Sophia.org
Course: Introduction to Business
Course content: Text; videos available
Final exam format: Multiple choice
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: Each section has at least 1 or 2 ambiguously worded/tricky questions, which is pretty high (IMO) for Sophia.
Time taken on course: Several days
Familiarity with subject before course: I'm aware that businesses exist, other than that no business courses before
Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: In both the challenges and the milestones there are questions that can trip you up. For instance, in one challenge, a question centers on the downsides of using milk as a currency. The text, using almost the exact same wording, best indicates that the correct answer is one thing. The question says that this is wrong and that the answer is something different that doesn't fit the text as well, IMO. There were a couple of milestone questions where I had to guess because, going by the text, all of the potential answers were at least partially correct. You can still get a good grade on this course, but I dislike these kinds of questions.
