Provider: Sophia.org
Course: IT Career Exploration
Course content: Text/PDF
Final exam format: 16 multiple choice questions in the single milestone.
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: The exam questions were nothing unusual; they followed the course content pretty closely. There were a couple of tricky questions but I think they wouldn't have been as tricky if I had read the text more closely. Most of the Challenge questions do seem to have explanations if you select the wrong answer, unlike some Sophia courses.
Time taken on course: A couple of hours.
Familiarity with subject before course: Pretty well acquainted with IT and tech careers.
Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: There are two Touchstones (assignments) but these are not graded at this time. You do have to complete the Touchstones and submit them in order to finish the course but you don't have to wait for a grade to be returned. Unless/until they change this (check the Score Report for confirmation), this course won't tie up one of your two course slots at Sophia. Although the title of the course is IT Career Exploration, this class is suitable for pretty much anyone. It doesn't go into a lot of depth when it comes to tech terminology, so you shouldn't be scared of it even if you have absolutely no intention of going into a technology field in the future.
1-10 Difficulty level: 2 or 3
