Sophia Quality... Questionable?

[wow]

... The Ancient Greek Philosophers course also surprised me because it's only one unit and worth 3 credit hours. 

... I do love their materials. I was very impressed with the material in the Psychology course. They actually make useful comparisons and organize the material so you can understand things in context. They're also concise but provide enough information. I went through the Psychology material very slowly but never got to the end. I had a friend who needed to take the Psychology CLEP and I suggested she use the free Sophia course to prep. She passed using only the free Sophia resources and an REA practice test to prepare. So I definitely think their resources are adequate to be comparable to the other providers. ...

Did you take Ancient Greek Philosophers? I did not find it easy at all. I found the material fairly comparable to what they have in other courses, but organized differently. Each Challenge covered a lot of material and could have been split up into several challenges followed by a milestone. I don't know why they organized it the way they did, but I was nervous that so much of the grade depI expect when it goes up for reaccreditation, they will change the format to be more in line with the other courses.

For the benefit of any Big 3 decision makers reading this forum, it might have been helpful to include your praise for the psychology course in your initial post.   Even if it is the case that the sociology course is objectively too easy, one weak course shouldn't be used to condemn all the others. But I'm glad to read you liked the materials and so did your friend. I haven't taken it yet but am planning too.
