SDC might look long but they're more like Sophia courses. Each of SDC's lessons equates to a challenge section at Sophia, complete with the quiz questions. Statistics has 5 units (these would be chapters at SDC) with 20 challenges and a total of 142 sections within those challenges. That'd be 142 lessons at SDC. The SDC courses only look longer because they're formatted differently.
I just looked on Sophia and I did about a dozen classes. More than I thought! They way they have the classes structured with Challenges was much easier to wrap my head around. Just seeing a class with 87 or 142 lessons sounds like it will take forever especially when it says the videos are 6-8 minutes long. I read most of my Sophia classes so they were much shorter than watching the videos. I wonder if Study.com had a way to display the courses before you sign like Sophia into Units so it looks like less what kind of impact that would have. One of those psychological things.
