Note: ACE recommendation for this course expires April 30, so I rushed this course. Surprised to find I could complete the whole thing start to proctored exam in 7 days.
Provider: Saylor.org
Course: Physics 101
Course content: Text and videos
Final exam format: 51 Multiple choice
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: I got around 75% (passing). Final proctored exam was a little easier than the practice (certificate) exam; some questions required knowing formulas and unit conversions that were not on the Physics Formula sheet permitted to be used in the exam; familiarize yourself with the Physics Formula sheet before the exam because some use different symbols than in the text
Time taken on course: 6 days of study, 6 to 8 hours/day - read text, worked problems, made and reviewed flashcards each day
Familiarity with subject before course: High school and college physics decades ago (TESU won't accept my college physics for transfer for complicated reasons so I need to take it again sigh). I would have failed the final without preparation, maybe like 10% score?
Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: I skipped a lot of the videos. If you are good at logic and math, it makes things easier. You need to understand algebra and basic trig--I'd forgotten most trig so had to look up and make flashcards about how sin, cosine, tangent etc worked
1-10 Difficulty level: 5
