Sophia Free Trial

Sophia's free trial is 24 hours, correct?  Has anyone actually finished a full course in that timeframe?  If so, which one?

Yup, their free course - the 1 credit - Developing Effective Teams, I think that's the name of the course.
I finished it in a couple of hours. If you know your subject in any of those courses, it can potentially be done.

Some people were able to complete a Shmoop course in 24 hours for 3 credits...
I couldn't, and I don't recommend it either. Don't cheap out, it's for your educational goal in the end.

I think you can take any course as a free trial. I'm guessing you can't pass a full course in that timeframe, as there are a lot of steps to take. You have to take all of the quizzes, and pass them all, and then take a proctored exam as well.

bjcheung77 mentioned that there is also a completely free course you can take, but it's only 1cr, and counts as an HR course (so a free elective if you're not a business major).

I know about the one credit course (it's in my sig) ;-) . Also, I think I tried to see if Shmoop was doable in 24 hours, and they had disabled something, so you couldn't actually get credit for the course.
