Does anyone know how these are assessed for credit? Is it coursework, or an exam or a combination of both? I'm having difficulty finding that on the website.

Wow, there are so many universities coming out with free courses. I wonder if these would be of good PLA use.

The Pysch 1310 course seems competency based. You can take the exams and assignments at your pace. The final grade is an accumulation of the assignments, exams, and final exam.
