Sophia Course Format Differences

[dfrecore]

Old Format: 3 attempts to answer each question. Some of the questions are matching or true/false of multiple statements. There is an underlying story that continues throughout the module that may or may not relate to the question. There are no videos. Many of the questions in this are easier than the new one, especially given the 3 attempts. It often links you to multiple sections if you don't know the answer.


History is expiring soon and I heard TESU won't take Religion. Maybe the difference in format has something to do with it.

I took Project Management back when it was UL in 2015 - there were videos, so even though I'm sure it's the old format, your description of the old format is incorrect for at least that particular course.

As far as what TESU takes, I can't imagine that they're basing it on which format is used, especially considering that it sounds like (from what you described) the new format is somewhat more difficult to answer questions?  Maybe easier to find the info, but the fact that they don't give you multiple chances with the same question makes it harder, not easier.  So I don't think that's what the issue is.

There may have been videos in those courses but if there were I didn't notice them or watch them. I just read the pdf and pdfs don't have videos. The thing about the new course is the videos seem harder to miss vs the old ones. 

Back when I did my course, I don't remember there being pdf's, you HAD to watch one of the videos to learn the material (there was a choice of 3 videos).  I could be wrong, since it was so long ago, but I think I'm remembering correctly.  Maybe it was different because it was an UL course...
