If I stick with taking study.com Intro Stats (and it counts as my 2nd monthly course), I will still need a final UL SocSci course for my AOS. I could just sign up for another month and only use one of the available credit bearing tests, or I could do what my slightly ADHD brain wants to do, and try out another alternative credit option.
So my question is for those who have received credit for a Ed4credit course(s), especially (but not limited to), Aging & Society. I have looked at the syllabus, but it doesn't really specify how the course itself works.
A few questions off the top of my head (I'll probably think of more later):
Is there anything else that would be helpful to know before spending almost $300 on one course?

A few questions off the top of my head (I'll probably think of more later):
- How exactly are the courses formatted?
- How do they generally compare in course-load/time need for completion to SL or study.com courses?
- Is the free Zika sample course basically how the other courses are laid out?
- When the word "test" is used on the syllabus, is it like the end of section "check your understanding" quiz-type thing that I am seeing?
- Can quizzes/section tests be retaken?
- Is there a way to study offline? [getting spoiled by the new study.com App]
- Does every video have to be watched/every page be read, or can I pick & choose?
Is there anything else that would be helpful to know before spending almost $300 on one course?
