MOOC + ALEKS or DSST = Simple Credit
#10
JohnnyHeck Wrote:I have sampled the Sophia course. And it will work for almost anyone who can cram similar to an InstaCert scenario to pass their requirements for stats. However, IMHO you will not really be left with any lasting knowledge. The course modules are poorly sequenced and unstructured. While you are pushed to finish fast by design (60 days w/o extension) you are constantly hunting and pecking through the various video lessons with no understanding of the "big picture". Save money; learn more; try my recommendation; let's see what happens!

That's where MOOCs courses like Udacity, or Stanford, Coursera, KhanAcademy, etc. really shine. A lot of people have this misconception that doing an MOOC from an ivy league school is going to be too hard. No, a lot of the times the course is really interesting, well done, and polished. Best course I ever took was Harvard CS50x - the best introduction to Computer Science ever. I wish every course was like that one.
