Has anyone finished Saylor classes quickly? If so what is your go-to study method?

OnlineDegree's history course is actually pretty interesting and fun, IMO. Not sure about the others. OnlineDegree is still faster than a typical B&M course, though having to watch all the videos is going to be frustrating when compared to Sophia/SDC.

Interesting.  I read a couple of articles from when they launched.  (Apparently they hired a PR firm.) They certainly had grand plans to completely disrupt college education. 

But from what I can tell (viewed a couple of courses, and a friend took their Intro to Public Health), it looks like they basically took already existing public domain courses -- Public Health is literally a camera in the back of a classroom filmed at Pomona State maybe(?) in 2012 -- and wrote their own quizzes and exams.

I got the sense that they had a grand plan that they were going to sell leads to the schools from students interested in pursuing college and make a bunch of money in the process.  But given that I don't think they've had any new courses since their initial launch several years ago, it doesn't seem like the idea caught on. A pity. 

It would not have been hard to take the assets they have and reposition them into SDC-style bite-sized chunks, provide transcripts, and *then* they'd have something. At least in my opinion.
