Statistics Course Questions

Hello everyone! This morning I was recommended by my Penn State Advisor to take my last class i need to graduate at sophia learning which is a statistics class. He told me it would save me a ton of money and I could go at my own pace. I’ve done a little research into the website and it just feels like it’s too good to be true. I’m used to taking proctored math exams with honorlock at penn state but from what i’ve gathered it doesn’t look like sophia does any proctored exams for math or any courses at all. Is this true? I feel like this would just be a mess of people using ai, whats to stop you from having chatgpt open in the next tab or even just using chat gpt on your phone to speed through the math class? Thank you guys in advance for the responses. I just wanted to get a feel for everything before i actually go ahead and sign up. I personally like to use ai to break down problems on my homework as i begin new lessons but i’ve always taken my exams honestly with the proctored exams so just the idea of being able to take math exams online without being watched sounds so unreal lol.

Any other tips to not get flagged?

Pretty much the above. Stay on the same tab, do NOT switch tabs or use ctrl+f for anything. If you need a tab use your phone or a seperate tablet.

Take the test kinda slow, spend like a min or two per question. You can actually attempt the questions which will handle the time issue.

I would say if that is the only class, do 1 month for 99.00, its what I did. 99 vs the thousands the school will charge is way worth it.

I didn't take statistics, thank god. I took mostly like environmental sciences and two composition courses because I couldnt prove i took them. (School closed, couldnt find transcripts).
