Saylor vs. Sophia

[StoicJ]

Saylor is nothing like Sophia.

Good thing is you can jump right into the Saylor classes with no financial commitment. I've completed something like 5 or 6 courses. I got the non-credit certificates. I attempted to get credit for Principles of Management, but scored a 67% on the proctored final. That sort of bummed me out, because I did actually study a bit. I've taken a bunch of Sophia's and I think my average final grade is about 90%.

The pool of exam questions that Saylor chooses from is, I think, very deep. Seems like for the Management course I took 3 not-for-credit final exams and there wasn't a whole lot of overlap between them. I combined the 3 into 1 mega master exam and studied those questions. I still ended up with a 67 on the proctored.

Since, apparently, proctored exams are now $5 a pop, I might go back and take Direct Credit Exams for a few courses when the time is right.
