How has degree planning changed over the years?

[Mint Berry Crunch]

The problem I find with study is when you look at a course is that 100 plus lessons just looks overwhelming.

You no longer have to complete the quizzes for each lesson to earn credit. Now they’re entirely optional non-credit activities. In their place you now have to complete the (open-book) chapter tests. There are probably something like 15 chapter tests. Focus on that number rather than the 100 plus lessons.

15 chapter tests sounds awful! I'm not a great test taker so that would be awful for me.

They are open-book tests, so they are significantly easier

Doesn't matter. I have ADHD and struggle with testing. Sophia is open book as well. I still took the max time allowed on most of the tests. Open book doesn't make test taking anxiety go away.

I have those things as well including a wide range of mental health that impacted me during my time in service. If prompted with the choice of a proctored exam or an open-book, I think pretty much everyone would rather take an open-book. The response isn't dismissive of you, rather, a generalized statement. I get the anxiety and ADHD, but for me (and probably others), not having someone breathe over your shoulder does relieve a lot of stress
