For example- 10 classes in a month? Will the college you are transferring to think these courses have less value value than traditional? I found courses to be easy and some very hard, but I decided to put a lot of effort. I definitely wouldn’t want the college to think it was too easy to complete these courses back to back.
In a competency based degree program, many people complete 10 courses in a month. One thing to remember is that the Sophia courses are all 100 level courses so they're introductory courses. They're not meant to be difficult. Some material is a breeze for some people and others struggle with it. When you finish a semester or term at a college, all of your credits are issued the same day. I took 19 credits at a community college more than once. In 15 weeks, I earned 19 credits. No one bats an eye at that. Currently, in the last 16 weeks, I have completed 32 college credits at Sophia and CSU Global. No one has sad anything other than I must not have slept much and just did school which is basically true. I didn't just pass these courses either. My lowest grade at Sophia is an 87 and I have a 4.0 at CSU Global.
