B.A. Psychology from TESU

I've not personally taken any Coopersmith courses at this time. However, I get the idea that they are MUCH shorter and easier than SDC courses for many people. There are no assignments, only a single exam. The exam can be (depending on the course) 50-100 questions. If there are any essay questions, there are only 50 or so multiple choice questions. The essay questions on the exam can be answered in 1-2 sentences, so long as you hit the right keywords. They are not literally expecting an essay.

The biggest hangup for at least some people is that they use ProctorU for their proctoring. That's a live proctor, unlike SDC's recorded proctor, and the experience can range from 'okay' to 'this is really horrific' and there's no way to tell in advance what kind of experience you'll have.

I agree ProctorU is difficult  I have had experience with them when I did my TECEP. It's not the proctors themselves but the system for me was giving a problem and not connecting for one whole hour! It was so frustrating to work with their system. But the proctor was patiently helping and multiple people had to join in to find a solution.  Does Coopersmith have a course video etc? or do we have to study on our own through books? Plus regarding SDC there is proctoring too right? How long does it take to complete a Ul course on SDC? Thanks!
