Sophia Quality... Questionable?

[ss20ts]

I haven't taken the Sophia Sociology course, but my guess is that there are always people who can do well in any course based solely on life experience. That's one of the points of ACE—to give people a way to earn college credit based on what they already know so they don't have to sit through/pay for a college class that will be too easy for them anyway.

My husband took the sociology course with Sophia and had zero experience in sociology. He found it very enjoyable and learned a great deal. He had some struggles with it as well. He spent more time on this course than every other course he took. I think he completed 5 courses in a month. But that's all he did every evening and most of the weekend. He was very dedicated to earning as many free credits as possible. Everyone's mileage will vary. He works in IT and has about 30 yers experience. I got a higher score on Introduction to Information Technology than he did. He got cocky about it and readily admits it. I also just finished a MIS course a few months ago where I covered much of the material. He thinks it's hilarious that the non-techy person in our house got a higher score.
