Reviews
Our students love the freedom, flexibility and support we offer. See what they're saying about Sophia's courses.
by Korrion S. on July 31, 2025
Some of the questions were hard to see but other than that pretty easy class
by Jermaine W. on July 31, 2025
Way too many touchstones. Essays were long and asked for a lot. Avoid class if you can
by Cynthia R. on July 30, 2025
The course was good, just difficult as heck in some areas. How much of this I'll use in my lifetime, I don't know but it sure stretched the mind! Overall, it was worth it.
