Sophia Review: Finished 6 Courses in 1 Week

[Ares]

All that's going to happen with people bragging like this will be that opportunities for people will disappear.  Stuff like this always gets back to colleges and accreditors and they have serious decisions to make.  Again, people please don't do this.

What I did is no different than someone testing out of the classes. These were not easy questions anyone could just guess unless you already knew the material which I did in most of these cases. The only course where the answers were obvious most of the time was College Readiness and that is only if you have previously attended college and understand how to write and cite papers. I also watched any videos at max 2x speed, again not recommended for most people.

I have taken plenty of college courses and the material learned in the Sophia courses is complete for the subject matter. If I did not know these subjects I would have learned plenty by going through all the material. I know a lot about IT and Nutrition and both of these courses offered good information that was relevant if you know nothing about either topic. Anyone taking those Sophia courses would come out with the same knowledge as anyone taking the same course at a regular university. I actually think you would learn more with Sophia in these case because they cut out all the filler information.

The best way to describe Sophia courses is a more modern, digital cliff notes version of a college course. You learn the same amount of information but in less time which is how learning should be, not drawn out for no reason other than that is how it has always been done.

For the record I started on Macroeconomics and had to slow down after the first unit because I am going to have to read all this material and take my time.
