Provider: Online Degree
Course: Intro to Computer Science 101
Course content: Main videos and some lessons have supplementary videos that are less than useless, there's an embedded timer preventing you from moving on until the timer ends. There are also quizzes that include questions unrelated to the content of what you're learning and instead ask you arbitrary things like, "Which framework did I use to demo this concept?" or "Which of the following is NOT an example I provided in class?"
Final exam format: 47 multiple choice questions from the quizzes
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: Questions were pulled directly from the quizzes and since some ask arbitrary things, it's a poorly implemented test.
Time taken on course: I actually did a few lessons years ago when OD first came out, then they reworked the whole class from scratch(made it worse) and I did a few more lessons a year and a half ago. Then I did the other 80% of the class over the last week on a whim since I was practicing Python.
Familiarity with subject before course: Took a few basic CS courses before that used Python. Also, have an IT degree that introduced me to a lot of the concepts. I took this on the tail end of a 2-week python BootCamp I was doing for personal enrichment. Despite all that, you still have to view the lessons(I paused and scrolled), since they ask arbitrary things that wouldn't normally be part of an actual CS curriculum. 
Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: This is a piss-poor course. Besides the usual shortcomings of OD(unskippable videos, no way to see your grade until you already take your final) the class itself is poorly written and includes very little in the way of learning CS or programming, has extremely long, slow, boring (unskippable)lessons, and is just poorly implemented. In fact, speeding the lessons up to 2x still felt slow or normal speed at best.
1-10 Difficulty level: 10 only because the class is terrible. I had the video pages open in the background while working on other stuff and skipped to the quizzes when it let me because I wanted to see if the quality ever improves. Spoiler alert, it doesn't. Want to learn python, CS, or programming? This course is not for you. Already know Python/CS/programming and just want to "test out" of a course for cheap? This class isn't for you. I can't think of any situation where this class would be a good option for someone unless they absolutely had to get the absolute cheapest credits on the subject possible, couldn't do Saylor, and don't actually need/want to learn CS or programming. 

I passed with a 92% though I didn't need the credit.
