Provider: Onlinedegree.com
Course: Introduction to Robotics
Course content: Video lecture, short video presentations, external referral links to additional websites & materials. At the end of each lesson, there's a 5-7 question quiz that must be completed before moving forward in the course.
Final exam format: 44 questions, multiple choice- largely based on material covered in videos and quizzes, sometimes verbatim other times worded differently.
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: Zero curveballs, if you watch the videos and do well on the "quizzes", you should have zero problems on the final exam. There is a $9.00 proctor fee to take the final- its not through proctorU, but you still have to do the standard show all 4 walls, present photo ID yada yada yada.
Time taken on course: 2 weeks, start to finish.. could have moved quicker, but took this course concurrently with 2 other courses.. helps to pace yourself.
Familiarity with subject before course: Walked in the door with Electronics/Mechatronics knowledge, so the terminology and concepts was nothing new. They're up to date on what they're presenting, the videos are roughly 2-3 years old based on some of the dates thrown around.
Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: You can't skip any of the videos, the software won't allow it... you've got to watch at least a solid 90% of the video before the "mark complete" button illuminates. To be quite honest, there was maybe 3 or 4 videos I actually wanted to skip and that was because the instructor showed the exact same video in the lecture. The material is pretty interesting if you're into "Tech".. no it won't make you a robo genius, but it's an introductory course... With regards to obtaining credit, they have an agreement with Excelsior College- Excelsior recognizes Onlinedegree.com courses via NCCR and will print them on Excelsior letterhead, which allows your credit to come from a college vice "onlinedegree.com" as some institutions ONLY consider credits coming from other colleges/universities. The cost for the service is reasonable and does NOT include a transcript sent to your school (additional $12), takes about 4 weeks start to finish unless you choose to pay for rush service.. all in all, not bad.
1-10 Difficulty level: 5-6 depending on previous knowledge- the quizzes are not forgiving so it pays to get it right the first time.
