Provider: Sophia.org
Course: Introduction to Information Technology (3 credits)
Score: 95%
Course Content: The course is available in either a PDF/text or an audio lecture. There is no other textbook or other materials required other than the ones provided by Sophia. The course consists of 4 units, each with 3 challenge quizzes of 3 - 5 questions, and each unit concludes with a Milestone exam of 15 - 17 questions. The class ends with a Milestone final exam of 25 questions.
Final Exam Content: The final exam is a 25 question multiple choice test.
Final Exam Content vs Course Content/Practice Exams: Overall, the exams and the challenge quizzes closely reflected the course text content. I had no real issues in this area, aside from a couple situations of "pick the best answer" where I picked something that was correct, but apparently not correct enough.
Time Taken On Course: 1 hour, 35 minutes. This was the only class of all of my Sophia classes that I didn't bother even answering all three challenge questions for each lesson and just scooted through at light speed. I did have to do some CTRL+F on the exams where it was really concerned about what job duties are associated with what particular job. Overall, this class was really easy.
Familiarity With Subject Before Course: I'm currently wrapping up my Google IT Support Professional Certification and have plenty of life experience with computers and technology, so probably above average. However, this is a pretty easy class for anyone who is reasonably technologically literate.
Pitfalls, High Points, Things Others Should Know: This class is pretty short and sweet. I only had a few hours left in my day and wanted to get another Sophia class done before my membership ended, so I took this just so I had another badge and easily transferable credit, in case any institution wanted to argue with me about my IT Google Support Pro certificate. Your choice whether or not this is worth it, but it should only take a few hours.
