I can honestly say this is the best way to take college courses online for credit
3 College Readiness 98% (the easiest course on Sophia even with writing the paper)
3 Introduction to Information Technology 94% (easy for anyone with an IT background)
3 Visual Communications 97% (easy but you may need to watch some videos here or there)
3 Environmental Science 95% (the only course that took me more than one day of free time, moderately difficult, you just have to push through it)
3 Introduction to Nutrition 98% (I blew through this course but then again I research nutrition as one of my hobbies, otherwise moderately difficult.)
1 The Essentials of Managing Conflict 100% (not hard but boring and irrelevant information)
Ironically I did not read anything for Introduction to IT and Introduction to Nutrition otherwise I would have scored higher. Since all of these are pass/fail it does not really matter. I also noticed that when I got a question wrong, it was because I was going too fast and read it wrong. The way they phrase questions sometimes just wastes your time.
The difficulty of the courses is going to depend largely on your background. I see no reason why anyone competent would not be able to complete at least one unit of a course a night.
College Readiness may seem like a joke to anyone who has previously attended a 4 year university but it is essential information for someone starting out, do not skim through it if that is the case. Freshman Seminar on my transcript from my university is worth 0 credits so this is a better deal and much more informative. Courses like Introduction to Nutrition are very good courses if you want to learn something relevant to everyday life. Visual Communications also has a unit on fonts and I recommend reading and/or watching all the material there if you are in IT.
If you are debating on using the platform, give it a try. Start with College Readiness and knock that out to give you some confidence.
