mysonx3,
SOS-110 is a 3 credit course, so it may help you with your financial aid situation. As for the essays: 5 of them were 500 words (less than 2 pages double spaced), and the other two (the midterm and final essays) were 700 words (less than 3 pages double spaced).
When I took the course, the students had a lot of say in what they actually wrote about. A couple of the papers were on more specific topics, but the majority of them asked students to write within a broad topic, allowing the student to choose what they actually wanted to write about within the topic.
The discussion board posts in the course I took involved writing 2-3 sentences about your opinions on some topic, and then leaving 2 responses to your classmates' posts (most students left 1-2 sentence responses).
If you're looking for a course that is not very difficult to fulfill 3 credits for financial aid reasons, and the course could somehow help you with getting your degree, I would recommend taking it.
BUT, the above information comes from my experience taking Living in the Information Age. I'm not sure how similar the new cornerstone (Critical Information Literacy) will be to the old SOS-110
