I'll start us off:
Provider: Study.com
Course: Intro to Sociology
Course content: 116 module segments with a video/text plus a 5 question multiple choice quiz on each segment. All quizzes must have 4/5 correct answers in order to take the final. Grade needed to pass the final is determined by performance on quizzes. Quizzes may be re-taken. Non-compulsory flash cards are available, as well as practice exams. Larger (25-30 quesiton) practice tests on individual topics are available, as well as a practice final exam.
Final exam format: Proctored final exam is 100 multiple choice questions (vs 50 on practice final)
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: Very close, many questions will have been seen before. There are some instances where the questions are mirrored from those in the quizzes/practice tests (e.g. What is NOT an example of X/What IS an example of x)
Time taken on course: Approximately 10 hours over the course of one week.
Familiarity with subject before course: Low-Medium. Some material is almost common knowledge/common sense, some is not. Would have probably scored 30-40 on the final without preparation.
Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: You are expected to learn about various sociologists through the years, and about the theories they have developed. The area of my brain that can potentially receive this information is full.
1-10 Difficulty level: 4
