Has anyone taken the Sophia Project Management Course?

Update: I just completed the first unit. There are only four units for the Project Management course (I don't know about the other courses). The units are divided into sections. There are Challenge Questions, which are three sets of multiple choice, fill in the blank, and matching types of questions. You get three attempts on each question. The answers are found in the Tutorial tab, by watching the short (about 5 minutes each) video lectures and reading the vocabulary definitions. I had to repeat several of the questions, mostly because I didn't watch all of the videos, but still got all answers correct within the allotted attempts. You have to score a 50% or higher to pass each section and proceed to the next (but you need a 70% overall in the course for credit). Then there's the Milestone section. This is basically a review exam of the content covered in the three sets of Challenge Questions. There is only one attempt for the Milestone, but using the tutorials and other course materials are permitted. A 50% or higher is also needed on the Milestone to progress to the next section. (I don't know what happens if you fail a section. This isn't made clear.) I passed with a 72% on the Milestone. Milestone questions weigh double what the challenge questions do. With a 72% on the 25 Milestone questions, and a 100% on each of the thirty total Challenge Questions, I am currently at an 83% in the course.

After the fourth unit, there is a final section. It's an identity-verification thing. It sounds like it'll be from ProctorU, but I haven't reached that point to confirm it. They check identity, then give you questions from the previous four Milestones to answer - but only questions that you answered correctly. You can use the entire course materials, but no other website, and one page of notes as long as they're not the questions from previous Milestones, and you must score a 50% or higher on this section.

I had been working on studying the Saylor Business Statistics, but was struggling with it. It's been twenty years since I took Intro to Statistics, so I was starting over from scratch. With this coupon code, the cost difference is eliminated, and I much, much prefer this Project Management course. I'll probably finish this entire course faster than it'll take me to finish a single unit of the Saylor course. (This and two TECEP's are all I have remaining.)

I hadn't originally planned to take this course due to its cost, but with the new coupon code, that changed. Thank you VERY MUCH to passit1 for sharing the information. For whatever it's worth, I'd recommend this course. I'm enjoying the course, and I expect to finish the course in a single weekend. The only negatives so far are that some of the video lectures are a little dry, but so are most video lectures, and at least these are short.
