Provider: Edx.org on behalf of TESU
Course: SOS-110 (Information Literacy, alternative transfer credit option)
Instructor: Dr. Crystal Sands (no interaction at all with the prof)
Course content: Assignments, Discussions, Quizzes, Knowledge Checks
Final exam format: I skipped the final quiz that is proctored using RPNow as my system uses WIN11 and didn't support that software. I was going to take the final quiz as my last step on a different laptop but noticed I got the verification certificate prompt that I passed the course before I got to it. And when I wanted to do the exam, the course already closed. It's fine for me, I didn't need to bump my percentage up as it's just a pass/fail course.
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: Haven't taken the exam, not sure if it would be identical, course ended before I tried to do the exam. Someone should check to verify content, should be a good review. I would have taken the exam if my computer WIN11 was supported, didn't have time to try my older/slower laptop.
Time taken on course: I spent a day on this, in total about 9.5-10 hours on a day off and I also had other things (on my second monitor I was working on). I did the cramming or skimming of info presented, quickly did the discussions, quizzes, and videos at 1.5x (I can't do the 1.75/2x that many do, I like to actually go through them slightly slower).
Familiarity with subject before course: This is a very introductory course, there are links to Excelsior/TESU APA if you need extra assistance with that subject, I highly recommend reviewing the videos and links from them. They're short 3-4 minute for most of the video content.
Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: None, seems like a very good compact course for an intro to Info Lit and APA.
1-10 Difficulty level: 1 for most people, 2 if you've not used APA are a beginner to that. Someone should copy/paste the links to the APA, it really reinforced the info for me to remember.
Gasp! I just looked at the screenshot again, I had 1 error on the Module 1 Quiz 2... oops, and I somewhat skipped the Knowledge Checks as these are worth only 10% of the entire course, I went straight to the 'gravy'... Link: https://i.imgur.com/GRdScft.jpg
