Course: Business 109: Intro to Computers
Course content: standard study.com stuff
Final exam format: 100 multiple choice
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: The final is based on the course work pretty closely
Time taken on course: about 3 days while working full time
Familiarity with subject before course: I have used computers for 20+ years
Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: Some of this stuff is absurdly simple, like what a keyboard is, or what a microphone is, and some of it is very complex. Also this course had more typo's on the tests than any other study.com course i've taken. One was on the "right" answer to a question but the answer was literally gibberish. I reported it so maybe they'll fix it
1-10 Difficulty level: 5ish for me. I know all about computers from the user end but some parts of the course, like naming 5 programming languages and asking which was best for a given task, were well outside of my experience. your mileage may vary
Okay...I have been vainly trying to figure out how to start a new thread...but I haven't been successful...so I'll ask my question here.
I'm a college student in my sophomore year, and I'm only one year out of "homeschool high school", and I'm getting credits via CLEPs, study.com, etc.
So I did Study.com for a few months' stint earlier this year, and it was great. However, I needed to pause my account a while back, and the longest "pause" was up to three months from the pausing date. So I did it-- and it saved my progress and paused my billing. So, the account resumed a few weeks ago and I've been chugging along just fine.
But I wanted to know if it's possible to pause your account more than once during your study.com membership. From all that I've researched, it looks like they only allow you the convenience of pausing ONCE for however long you're a student using Study.com. Am I understanding this correctly, or is my deduction flawed??
Any feedback would be much appreciated!
