Easy study.com course?

I have kids and lot of activities but with the app you can watch or read all the videos and take quizzes on your mobile device. I could usually squeeze in lessons while at a soccer practice or while at the playground. I even went for a five mile walk and took headphones and just listened to the lessons while I was walking. Then every so often I would take a break and fly through the quizzes.

I agree!! I was sitting at the playground and taking quizzes on my phone app while my kids were playing. Really nice to be able to do that! (And yes, I was really watching them, also). One of the nice things about the short lessons is that I could squeeze in a lesson almost anywhere, and still be available for my kids when they needed me.

The questions were much easier than the quiz questions - I guess because it's closed book and comprehensive - but still, I thought it was a bit too easy, but I guess that's all for the good. The course itself was interesting, and I did learn a lot, so I can't complain about that.

So... I spoke to some of my friends, and one of my friends felt that it would be silly to take psychology or history courses if they are unrelated to my degree, and if I'm majoring in business, I should use this opportunity to learn some more about business. Considering how easy these courses seem to be anyway, I don't know if it matters what the subject is, it's just a matter of time and how many lessons/quizzes each course has anyway. 

I've heard that Personal Finance is one of the easiest courses there, so I wouldn't judge all courses by it.

Ok, but I still think the format is nice, and I'm ready to try some Business courses. 

I'm looking over the syllabi... all the lower level courses only have quizzes and a final test, but the upper level courses all seem to have one or more projects that have to be completed. So, unless I need an upper level course for some reason, I think I'll stick to lower level for now.

I'm also going to use my study.com membership to brush up on accounting basics, that way I'll be a bit ahead when I start my online classes in September (I hope). I think it's really nice that I can do this while on the scholarship. 

Back to my courses - any suggestions for business courses that would be actually helpful to me, or relevant in real life? 

One more question - I did Intro to Computers through Davar, which came in as COS-101. Can I now do a computer course through study.com that comes in as CIS-102? Would TESU give me credit for both? 

I really, really appreciate all of you for taking the time to help me out with this! Thanks so much!
