Decision time: BABA/Leadership vs BLS/Management
#60
(06-26-2024, 05:57 PM)Kjnova Wrote: I checked on UMPI today to see if my Sophia courses had transferred over as expected. I am glad I looked, because one I thought would come over as COM 210 (Sophia Conflict Resolution) came over as a BUS 1xx elective. I had seen that listed for COM 210 somewhere, now I'm not sure where. After talking with Jessica about it, I added the Sophia class that does count for COM 210 (Workplace Communications) and did it in about two hours. So that's taken care of, but, I lost some time I could have put into Study.com today.

And, I could have used that time, because man is Study.com slower than Sophia. Or maybe it's just me. I'm slogging through the quizzes and I'm on #45 out of 109 on a class I started yesterday. I like the quiz structure for learning the material. But right now what I want more than anything else is simply speed, and it's a whole different world there from Sophia. I think it's also more effective for learning the material, so I can see why it would be better for some situations.

The key to going fast with Study.com is to have multiple windows open at the same time.

Some courses have placement tests that help you test out of 25% or more of the course. Additionally, the more courses you complete with Study.com, the more quizzes in other similar courses will be automatically completed. For example, if you were a CS major, you would start with Intro to Programming, and by the time you were done with Intro to Programming, half of the Data Structures quizzes would be automatically completed.

The good thing about Study.com is that it is somewhat similar to Sophia. Saylor, onlinedegree.com, CLEP, and StraighterLine are completely different and take quite a bit of time to learn how to navigate optimally. Some people never manage to go through those courses quickly and end up spending 80 hours on each course.

You're kind of like Neo breaking out of the Matrix by learning all this degree acceleration stuff. I completed Sophia's Visual Communications in around 4 hours, but I watched every single second of video at 2x speed. With my current knowledge, I bet I could go through Sophia's Intro to IT course in under 1 hour. The fastest I earned college credit equivalents was by passing a certificate in 4 hours, which equals 7 courses at PUG!
