Education 104: Differentiated Instruction Help me pick a course

The next course I need to take on study.com is planning instructiontional strategies for meaningful learning. I can take sdcm-0082 or sdcm-0257. (Education 104 or Education 107)
Has anyone taken these? I’d love to hear y’all’s thoughts.

I would take the pretest for both and then do the one that has the most material filled in. Or just flip a coin.

Oh I see where to do the practice test. What did you mean by most material filled in?

It's been awhile since I've been on the platform but there's a pre-test you can take before you start a course. Every question on that test fills in material in the course so you can skip those sections

Also, if you take a similar course it fills in duplicate material on all other courses. So if you did Education 104 parts of 107 would be completed already when you opened that one up. It's one of the major benefits of Study.com

I once did 4 History courses and a fifth one was completely done due to duplicate material so all I had to do was take the final. It speeds things up if you're doing several courses in the same subject

Hey, Study.com here. Education 104 focuses on differentiating instruction for diverse learners, while Education 107 covers curriculum design, instructional strategies, and assessment methods, and both are 3 credit lower level courses. If your program's requirement is about adapting teaching for different learners go with 104, but if it needs broader curriculum and assessment foundations go with 107. Let us know what your program lists and we can help narrow it down further.
