The official guide to self-study RA courses from ASU, BYU, UIdaho, etc.
#43
Provider: ASU
Course: CIS 194: Business Technology Fundamentals
Course content: Mostly videos. Some reading, but not a lot. It's literally the first part of the Google IT Support Professional certificate on Google.
Final exam format: There is no final exam. There are only quizzes and labs. The labs are super easy (like creating a folder on a remote computer), so long as you read and follow the instructions. The quizzes can be taken multiple times, until you get a passing grade.
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: There's no final exam. But, yes, everything in the quizzes is covered in one or more of the videos.
Time taken on course: 5-ish hours.
Familiarity with subject before course: I'd already done the Google IT Support Professional certificate on Coursera, so I was able to complete everything without rewatching most of the videos. If you need to watch the videos, it will take you longer.
Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: For some bizarre reason, the quizzes in the main portion would sometimes submit themselves while I was in the middle of clicking on an answer (and the submit button shouldn't have even been active). While you get unlimited attempts at these quizzes, you only get 3 attempts per 24 hours, so the auto-submission was quite frustrating. Still, I managed to pass everything easily enough. The quizzes that are on ASU (and that weren't originally part of the Coursera course) don't always have fully accurate answers. For instance, I noticed that the answer to the meaning of BIOS wasn't the truth. Fortunately, you can also take these quizzes an unlimited amount of times, so this isn't a big deal. Just retake until you get a good score. The "final project" (describing how to make a PB&J sandwich) takes about a week to grade, so be prepared to wait for this.
1-10 Difficulty level: 1 or 2
Final grade: A

TESU - BA Computer Science; BSBA CIS; ASNSM Math & CS; ASBA
