What we found
TrustMyCourse read the published syllabus directly and confirmed guest access to the course. The six advertised units were present, running from statistical analysis through probability, the normal distribution, sampling, hypothesis testing and regression, and the material is readable as a guest without an account. The syllabus states the course is entirely free to enrol in and access, and estimates forty hours of study. The free certificate requires seventy percent or higher on a final exam. A separate optional proctored exam for college credit costs five dollars; it is not required to take the course or to earn the free certificate.
