Very informative course !!
by Isaac F. on January 16, 2025
the reflections at the end of the writing were pointless
by Alicia A. on January 16, 2025
Please provide more classes that dont transfer over as just electives, with little to no touch stones. This would help alot since so many of us are in a time crunch to finish credits we need. Thank you!
by Alicia A. on January 16, 2025
Thankful for Sophia Learning. Hoping they come out with more classes soon! I would really love more options that transfer over as regular class credits, and not just electives.
