by Lisa S. on March 27, 2025
I LOVED this course! by far my favorite course on Sophia:) I breezed though it because I enjoyed it so much and knew a lot of the course material prior to taking it. I thought it was thoughtfully structured and enjoyed the videos and Touchstones.
by LaTisha S. on March 27, 2025
I've taken several courses on Sophia and this lab was by far the hardest one. But it was fun and I got an A. So, I am satisfied.
by Danielle B. on March 27, 2025
This course kicked my butt, however it was good. Definitely make sure you practice with the practice questions in each break down.
