no practice milestones. 9 challenges 3 milestones. only a couple questions each.
Under 30 minutes from start to finish.
I have no use for this Web Development course but did it and finished it in the same amount of time as you. I'm surprised it's worth 3 credits.
It's basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, Javascript, database functionality, even if someone had no prior knowledge the course is extremely short.

Have someone asked if Excelsior College could accept this course for 3 LL?

It became available less than 24 hours ago so I'm guessing no.

Thanks for the update.
I knocked it out, and hit the 200 credit milestone I'd been eyeing for a bit

Anyone who transfers this to TESU, keep us updated on what they bring it in as, please. I'm going to take it but I doubt it'll transfer for me because of the 90-credit limit.

took 24 minutes from start to finish. i didn't like the way it glazed over things. IT's like a knowledge check didn't feel like a teaching thing. The CSS definitions I feel are a bit mixed up.
RE: New Sophia course incoming? - rachel83az - 03-11-2021
This was definitely not what I was hoping for in an intro web development course. The definitions were sparse and uninformative. I agree that it felt more like a knowledge check, and not a very good one at that. The milestones were a bit nerve-wracking, IMO, because there were only 6-8 questions and getting just one wrong could drastically lower your grade. Most of the questions were easy/obvious but there were a couple that I felt were tricky and I wasn't 100% confident that I had chosen the correct one.

I dont count for course to give me much knowledge in IT field. If it will provide 3 credits as Computer science course at any University i am more than grateful
RE: New Sophia course incoming? - Kab - 03-11-2021
Is really a starter course. Here is a lot of people with experience in IT.
Consider this for new people, not people that has been in CS or computer science for years and want to major now in it.
