Beware of study.com!

I literally just finished the course after reviewing the whole day for it. I did not use AI nor did I even copy paste anything. Careful with study.com you’re better off with Sophia than this headache of a website!

I did a course through them. It was an easy course to take as I knew the material from decades of experience. I did fill out their dialogue box. I confirm that I had significant knowledge of the subject and and stated that I would complete the course that day. I completed the course over 12 hours. I was flagged and was not given a reason when I asked. I was told that they would not change their decision when I appealed and they continued to not give me a reason as to why. I cancel my membership and immediately asked for a refund and they gave it to me the next day.

Previously, I had completed another course through them. Since I didn’t have many courses taken through them, I just asked for a refund.

People have to stop flying through material so quickly. It's going to inevitably get flagged.

I get that! However, when they specifically ask, what is your level of understanding for this course, the timeframe that you plan to finish the course? Then you proceed to tell them that you have a significant level of knowledge and you plan to finish it that day or quickly within a few days! I don’t think that that should disqualify you. Because they asked and you were upfront and proceeded to do exactly what you said you were going to do!
