RE: 81 Courses in 24 Hours - bjcheung77 - 09-07-2022
Interesting, I wonder why they even have these type of "competitions" to see who has the most in 24 hours. If these are mini courses or certificates in the mentioned companies and the person has a Business degree with majors in Finance/Marketing or whatever, they can "multi-task" and take multiple quizzes to get these quickly. With the business degree and experience, it's like taking an entry course exam when you've already graduated with the knowledge.

We wouldn't know, since we don't even know that these were online courses.
They could have been exams (think GRE, which was worth 30cr at EU at one time - 12cr LL and 18cr UL). You could conceivably count that 30cr as 10 courses.

I suspect that this is like the Indian man who completed a couple hundred "degrees" during 2020-2021. Then, if you looked more closely, it was apparent that he'd only completed some Coursera/edX certificates. There are definitely Coursera, edX, Udemy and/or LinkedIn courses that can be "completed" in under an hour.

If you have prior knowledge, it's easier to skim read and blow through the course fast. The downside is you might miss learning some of the knowledge in the course.
The Coursera COVID contact tracing course I blew through in 30 min. They estimate 5 hours for that course.
The Google IT support cert took me 3 days. They estimate 200 hours for that.
Even when you read or listen to every word in the course, some are quick to go through.
For example, one evening, I went through the entire course of Sophia's Visual Communications watching every video at 2x speed.

I was saying that the COURSES is what I was questioning, rather than the ONLINE part of it. But thank you for completely freaking out about it.

Oh honey, I didn't freak out. I copy and pasted. Above you did say that we don't know that these were online courses.

My emphasis was on courses, not online.
Your using unusually large letters and bolded words certainly looks like freaking out. And I'm not your honey.

Still not freaking out. It's called copy and paste. When you copy and paste a headline from a website the formatting can get funky on here which you should know as you've been on here for years. The only thing I did was change the color of the word online to pink because you said we didn't know if these were online courses.

You can always override that formatting my dude (can I call you that?
). You're still responsible for what you post
