Sophia - Intro to Ethics

[Jennr2z]

Oh my word! This is by far the most difficult course I've taken on Sophia. Years ago I took and intro to ethics course and it was much easier than this. I'm taking this course because it's 3 credits and the one I took was only 1 credit. This philosophy approach is hurting my brain. I lasted a week when I tried taking intro to philosophy in college years ago. Apparently, my brain hasn't changed in 20+ years.

Oh my goodness.  I know your post is a couple years old, but I am struggling with Intro to Ethics on Sophia, too and found your post when searching to see if anyone else was not doing well.
I also did not do well in Philosophy in community college - bombed it.
I have aced all the other Sophia classes I've taken so far and am so confused by this class.  I watch the videos and read the material and all the answers still seem the same.
I'm more than halfway through, so hoping to power through and finish above 70%.
I'm glad I'm not alone in my struggles!

I like the sophia courses in general but this was the worst course I've ever taken in my life. I passed it, but barely. They took an easy to understand concept like ethics and made a twisted mess of philisophical nonsense out of it. Then they gave the most vague, and subjective questions possible which was the real problem with this course. The text frequently did not match up to the questions and the questions had more than one possible correct answer MANY times according to the text/information given. When you have the lesson text right in front of you and you still have to guess on which answer they want of more than one correct answer possibility, it's incredibly frustrating.  

If their goal was to make me despise philosopy and never want anything to do with it for the rest of my life, they succeded.

Perfectly stated!  I am struggling through this course now, and experiencing everything you just said.  I am a logical person, so I thought this course was going to be enjoyable, but I was SO wrong.  I can't wait to finish (and hopefully pass) this course.

Quizlet was really helpful with this course
