Provider: Sophia.org
Course: Accounting
Course content: Text & videos
Final exam format: Multiple choice
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: Well-aligned; wrong answers tended to be because I had misread the question
Time taken on course: About a week
Familiarity with subject before course: I had previously attempted an accounting course through a community college. I did not understand the material at all then. I can't say that I will ever become a bookkeeper now, but this was relatively easy in comparison.
Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: Have a paper & pencil handy. You're going to have to jot down numbers to get the answers to some of the questions. The first one and a half to two units are mainly focused on teaching you the terms, the remaining parts are more focused on using those terms to actually do calculations. Still don't quite understand credit vs. debit as pertains to accounting, though.
1-10 Difficulty level: 6
