Sophia Quality... Questionable?

Since this is still at the top of the pile. There are some very helpful and commendable individuals on this site. That being said, I am so sick of all the absolutely STUPID idiots on this site. The OP surely is the torchbearer today. I cannot wait to get to the finish line so I can stop coming here (banning me is fine). It's funny that while this site's objective is education, I have never seen so many complete morons in one place. If you don't know what I'm talking about you are one. It's nonsense like this that has made this journey not at all enjoyable. To OP, get bent. You are a lowlife. If this Sh**'s so easy why have you been here for five years?

I think the answer to your last question is actually within your post.

Almost every Intro to Sociology course around the world is going to be quite easy (try ASU's Earned Admissions Intro to Soc course if you want a free comparison). Partly because it's an 'Intro to' course (and so the subject matter is at its most basic level), and because sociology as a subject is challenging only once you get to the dialectical level, that is, how to you articulate and defend a point of view. The early stages are getting you used to the terms used and fundamental concepts referred to, so that when it gets more challenging, you're not sitting there going 'shit, which one is critical theory again? What was that Durkheim character on about?'
And just generally, some subjects are more challenging at the beginning, but become easier once you get over that initial hump. Others leave that challenge until later. (For me, maths is certainly the former, sociology the latter.)

Furthermore, people who are experts in a certain field understand that the more your learn about a subject, the more you become aware of just how much there is to learn. We think back to our initial forays into a topic, and appreciate just how little we really understood - despite our initial confidence.

Most intelligent people can extrapolate lived experience, as well as use basic reasoning and logic, and apply it towards other areas of life.

The less aware - or 'STUPID idiots', as used by the poster before me - tend to suffer from severe myopia and think that whatever they are feeling at this singular point of time is therefore the one true truth.

I genuinely doubt that the news that Intro to Soc being dead easy is going to come as a shock to anyone in the industry - that's just how it is. People who possess metacognition will be able to figure it out. The rest will brag at dinner parties about how easy their Intro to Soc course was and think this reflects well on them. Let them. It makes them happy, and gives the rest of us something to chuckle about later.
