Sophia Fun is almost over

[BrianFallon]

I wrapped up 10 Sophia classes thus far. My original goal was to complete College Algebra and Statistics. I'm decent enough in those areas but after working on ALEKS, I was ready to try a different path. I completed both of those classes.

For good measure, I added the following: Approaches to World Religions; Art History I; Conflict Resolution; Project Management; US History I and II; and Visual Communication.

Before the 31st, I'll complete Greek Philosophers and Psychology. I want to end on the 31st enrolled in Sociology and Art History II.

Although all of the courses were not immediately applicable to my degree plan (Stats; Project Management; Algebra; and one of the US History classes were put in degree requirements by TESU) I took the remaining classes because they will count toward transcripting 150 credit hours needed for a CPA exam.

I do think that there is something to be said of learning for the sake of learning - to be a well rounded person and while, for example, I took a Logic class at a brick and mortar school years ago, the Greek Philosophers is a good reminder of that material.

All in all, I found Sophia to be an excellent provider of course material. I suppose I could have worked faster or gone about the approach of just guessing, but there was some solid material there. Well organized (without the Onlinedegree.com problem of the quiz not matching the material) and I liked the various ways to learn.

As a provider of the lower level classes, they did well. I'd be willing to pay their fees if they roll out any upper level classes that fit in my degree plan.
