The official guide to self-study RA courses from ASU, BYU, UIdaho, etc.

[MNomadic]

Provider: ASU Universal Learner Courses
Course: CEE 181 Technological, Social and Sustainable Systems
Course content: Generally the standard ASU ULC format, with lecture videos, long readings, content mastery(Cerego) and weekly quizzes. Also a midterm and final. 
Final exam format: 40 multiple choice questions, proctored. Covers the last 4 weeks.
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: The final pulled some questions from the weekly quizzes. The course adequately prepares you for the final.
Time taken on course: A few hours per week to go through the content and do the quiz. 7-8 weeks long.
Familiarity with subject before course: Very familiar. I've done a lot of courses that touch on technology, sustainability/environment, engineering, ethics and social aspects of those topics. I have an interest in a lot of the topics covered in the class so had already picked up a fair amount of knowledge over the years.
Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: The course is fairly straightforward. There are a few questions I encountered that I don't think were directly covered by the course material. Additionally, there were a few questions that were written poorly or had wrong/conflicting answers that I submitted to the instructors.

The lectures and reading were longer than ideal, I didn't do any of it beyond what I needed to look up to pass quizzes. The material is interesting to me, I just have limited time and the lectures are too long-winded for my taste, even with speeding up the video
1-10 Difficulty level: 2. I had a lot of background knowledge so didn't need to "learn" a whole lot to pass but still learned and enjoyed myself.
Final grade: A. only missed a handful of questions throughout the course.

Overall, I think this was a very enjoyable course that shows the relationships be multiple topics. It's probably a bit harder for people brand new to the topics. This course is the definition of "multidisciplinary."
