The remaining courses have assignments so I will slow down a bit. I will certainly get 4 courses in a month and possibly 5 to max it out (4 or 5 makes it an incredible value and timesaver). I am starting my TESU capstone next month so I will probably take a month or two off to focus on that then reactivate the membership to finish 1-2 courses and be finished with my degree.
Study.com isn't quite as fast as Sophia since you need to take proctored exams but their proctoring is fantastic especially if you have used ProctorU. When you are ready you load up the special browser, show your ID, sweep the room then start testing. No scheduling, waiting, etc. If you are above average at learning vocabulary or have some background in the subject; you can fly through the modules. I rarely watch the videos; I skim the text then take the quiz. If a question is confusing I go back and read more deeply.
I am really happy I found this forum, it saved me a tremendous amount of time and money. Thank all of you for sharing knowledge.
Glad to hear that.. I've been on the fence about signing up with SDC, but they have so many classes that I need at TESU including a few upper level courses. I'm doing a free class with Sophia right now, but hope to transition to SDC by September.. while they cost more than SL, they just offer more classes!!! +1 on your comment about this forum.. I just signed up a month ago, but its been a HUGE help to me in finding resources and sharing experiences with others..
