Provider: Study.com
Course: Religion 101: Intro to World Religions
Course content: Text & Videos
Final exam format: 100 multiple choices
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: Have you seen the information before in the course, or was it a total curve ball?
Pretty much all of the final exam questions were covered in the course content and the quizzes.
Time taken on course: Hours? Weeks? Days? I did it in 4 days spending about 2 hours/day. I did skip some of the videos (about 15-20% of all) as I felt I had some basic knowledge on some of the subjects.
Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: My end score was 89%. The class was fairly easy. If you find the subject somewhat interesting you should have no issue even if you have zero prior knowledge, you might even enjoy the class. Now, the main reason I took this class is to cover the "5A" requirement for UMPI (from SDC's website we see that it does indeed transfer to a "5A" UMPI equivalent) if one day I end up applying there. Browsing the guides, we often see Sophia's "Introduction to Sociology: Embracing Diversity and Collaboration" being recommended to cover this requirement. The main argument behind taking Sophia's class probably has to do with cost. However, despite the few extra bucks spent on Study's Religion class, the moment I saw this class as an alternative to Sophia's class I was certain this would be the one I'll take. Religion 101 has no touchstones unlike Sophia's Sociology class so it can be finished ... well, in a day if you really chase speed. But the main reason is the subject itself. Let me mention something very important here - this class, Religion 101: Intro to World Religions, has its ACE recommendation expiring on 11/30/2022. They may extend this, but it may be a good idea to start and finish this class soon as we can never be certain about ACE recommendations. I wholeheartedly suggest people take this class, specially if you need something to cover UMPI's "5A" GEC (or other Universities' similar requirements), specially if your alternative is something like Sophia's class. In my humble and still fairly inexperienced opinion, this course should be the default recommendation.
1-10 Difficulty level: 2.
