Provider: Sophia.org
Course: Communication At Work (3 credits)
Score: 94%
Course Content: This course is available only in a PDF/text format, with no other materials needed aside from the text provided by Sophia. The class consists of 4 units, each with 3 challenge quizzes of 4 - 6 questions each. The first three units conclude with a Milestone exam of 14 - 15 questions. The fourth unit concludes with a short written assignment.
Final Exam Content: This class does not have a formal Final Exam and instead has a very short written assignment or Touchstone consisting of 2 200-word "work emails".
Final Exam Content vs Course Content/Practice Exams: The milestone exams were pretty consistent with the challenge quizzes. I didn't read any of the text, aside from occasionally scanning through or CTRL + F if I wasn't sure on an answer for a quiz or exam.
Time Taken On Course: 4 hours, 13 minutes. I didn't do any practice milestones, or even read the text. Probably about 40 minutes of this was the written Touchstone assignment.
Familiarity With Subject Before Course: I had taken all of the other workplace communication/conflict resolution classes at Sophia, which probably helped out a bit.
Pitfalls, High Points, Things Others Should Know: The class was fine, and if you haven't done a ton of communication classes, you should read the text because it is worthwhile information. It's an easy couple credits through Sophia though, and my free time with Sophia was expiring within a week, so I wanted to knock this out real quick for extra credits.
IMPORTANT: This class has a Touchstone essay which has to be submitted and then graded. During this time, this class counts as one of the two that you can be enrolled in at a time, even if you've completed everything and are just waiting for your score. My essay was graded about a week later. I was kind of annoyed with my grade on the Touchstone, as there were multiple areas where I received grades like 29/30 points without any specific indication of what I did wrong to be penalized a single point. It's not too much of a delay, but you don't want to be in the position of having two classes on "pause" and waiting for a touchstone to be graded.
