Sophia Quality... Questionable?

[Lacedonia4]

You see JSH, you and I are in the midst of geniuses. Geniuses that are lightning fast at course completion, and signed up for this site long ago and spend a lot of time here, but still don't have a degree.

Strange that...

Oh yeah, cuz nobody ever has issues with money. I had resigned myself to never actually getting a degree until Sophia made it possible. 

Seriously, I never claimed to be a genius. I've even admitted that I had issues with multiple courses. Is it really so hard to believe that someone might have prior experience that might allow them to get through a 9-challenge 3-milestone course quickly? Because that's what Visual Communications is; it's one of the shorter courses. 71 challenge questions. 96 milestone questions. At 2 minutes per question (because, again, I had prior knowledge and didn't need to read most of the text), that's just over 5 and a half hours. Did it take me more than 6 hours? Maybe. But I'm pretty sure that it did not. Seriously, it's a LL class. As has already been established, it's not supposed to take a super long time to finish such a class if you are familiar with the material.

Exactly, money and family commitments are the reason why I found myself studying towards a degree 20 years later. And I am terrified now if I take a break not to be able to resume my study routine, so close to getting a degree. I believe lots of people have the mental capability to pass most of these courses easily, sophia, straighterline, study.com, the real obstacles are always time and money. And yes being familiar with the material makes a huge difference in how long it takes.
