Questions about Study.com

[Merlin]

Hi all,

Does anyone have any information on Study.com? I am looking at purchasing a subscription for two courses, possibly three. The courses I am looking at taking are:

1. Lifespan Development/ Human Growth and Development  
   
2. Industrial/ Organizational Psychology 
   
3. Project Management 
   

Can anyone advise on the difficulty of these courses and how long, in total these would taken given what others users have said about them? How do these compare to other courses on Study.com?

I generally try to avoid giving estimates since difficulty and time to completion is always subjective depending on each person's prior knowledge, dedication and focus, reading speed, analysis ability, and which other courses have been taken that overlap. It's generally a bad idea to go off anyone else's experiences.

That said, I completed Human Growth and Development in 4-5 days at 4-8 hours per day, but I'd already completed Psychology 101 so there was a bit of overlap to give me a head start on the quizzes.

I haven't found any of the Psychology courses to be that difficult, but I am generally pretty good at memorizing stuff and making connections between concepts, as long as it isn't math-related. The biggest hurdle I found was remembering all the psychology theorists and which theory they were connected with. I also took Social Psychology which gave me a bunch of overlap with Organizational Psychology, so I assume those two are pretty similar.
