Sophia Learning Non-proctored?

Its actually cheaper if you need the full 3.5 months to complete a course. 3.5 months membership on SL is $400 plus the price of the course. SDC would be $800 for 3.5 months. For people who are struggling with a course I cant recommend Sophia enough like for math, stats or ecomonics courses if you check it over 3.5 months $329 seems resonable and with the halfoff thats about $165 for 3.5 months to finish with payment plan. Combined with a premium platform for learning they are by far the BEST course provider out there, the platform is premium.

For challenging courses where extra time is necessary, I agree that it would make it more enticing. But as you mention, they don't really offer any of the really tough courses. For the most part, it looks like they offer the same 100-200 level courses as everyone else.

Granted, if someone needs 2+ months to complete each course (for whatever reason), then I could see this as a benefit, but for most of the folks on the forum, the price is probably a bigger factor than the extra time.

A little physics I and II, discrete math, finite math, math history, geometry, calculus...you know the good stuff people always need a long time to finish? Lol

I think too many course providers offer duplicate courses.

SOPHIA! If you guys offer courses we cant find anywhere else I know a lot of people would take classes despite the cost. I rather pay $329 for a course I cant find anywhere else at Sophia than $1098 at TESU.

I agree, if they went that way, I'd be much more interested as well. There are several other degrees I'd have considered if they had better/cheaper test-out options.
Working on: Debating whether I want to pursue a doctoral program or maybe another master's degree in 2022-23
