5 Study.com Classes EXPIRING 4/30

[dfrecore]

Computer Science 203: Defensive Security
Computer Science 220: Fundamentals of Routing and Switching

Those are key courses for the PUG IT Degree Plan

Computer Science 310: Current Trends in Computer Science & IT

That is a key course in the SNHU Computer Science Degree Plan

But if students aren't taking them, then it doesn't matter.  Study.com (and Sophia, and all other course providers) have a limited amount of resources, and so they must get the most bang for their buck.  If only a few students are utilizing a course, then the course is probably costing more than it's worth; they're better off focusing their time and attention and money on courses that more people utilize.

Just a reminder that some SDC courses will see some changes on May 12: https://support.study.com/support/soluti...ng-courses

I have two pseudo-interesting small pebbles of knowledge for someone out there. I had previously completed all of the quizzes for both Intro to Political Science and Intro to Philosophy early last month. I was unable to take these and a few other exams until my payment period rolled over, so I had them queued up and ready to burn. Life got in the way--had to give my passport up to renew my residence permit here--but I finally got confirmation from SDC early on May 13 that I could use an old expired state ID card I have lying around to verify my identity.

That's the first sorta-interesting tidbit, but there's another: I finished one exam on May 13 at ~11:50 AM China Standard Time (May 12, ~11:50 PM EST) and the other at ~15:45 PM on the same afternoon (May 13 in EST). I still don't see any of that new lesson content for either course, although I'd expect it to be there already since it was past the deadline for at least that second exam.

I wonder if having the quizzes completed before the change made the courses exempt, even though their own info page says it's not the case. Or maybe I should just expect a few more lessons to pop up in one or both of the courses while waiting for the final score to be verified. Doesn't matter either way, but The More You Know.

Just to toss an update into the ether, the extra quizzes did ultimately get added to both course pages. I took a few for one of the courses, but it didn't matter, since I received the expected total score and credit for both courses. Their pages show 100% for quizzes and a message that "you may retake [the new quizzes] to raise your quiz score."
