Provider: Straighterline
Course: Introduction to Environmental Science/ENV 101
Course content: 14 lessons, with four unit quizzes (25 questions, 125 points available.) One midterm exam consisting of 50 questions with 250 points available. I liked the e-textbook
Final exam format: 50 multiple choice questions, 250 points available
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: No surprises, and I thought the course materials actually prepared me quite well.
Time taken on course: A weekend
Familiarity with subject before course: I used to work with environmental construction/remediation projects, so somewhat familiar. There were quite a few questions where I would have been very embarrassed to get them wrong. (lol... I didn’t)
Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: If you’re curious, there isn’t a lot of “earth science” in this one. Since it’s an “intro” course it’s pretty general and wide ranging. A good gen ed course.
Difficulty level: I didn’t think it was too terribly difficult, although I could see how some might find it boring.
