College Algebra

by Charles R. on September 21, 2018

The class was kinda hard! But the tutorials were helpful. I will definitely refer others to Sophia online learning to family and friends it saved me a couple of thousands of dollars in tuition fees. You can't beat that! Thanks Sophia Online Learning!!!

Introduction to Sociology

by Sarah T. on September 19, 2018

Quite helpful to better understand society!

Introduction to Statistics

by Ryan D. on September 19, 2018

I love Sophia classes. This one was one of the hardest I've taken though. It started off easy, but got a lot harder towards the end. Still, passing the exams and the milestones was still fairly easy, even if you don't understand all the information. I'm definitely glad I didn't take this course in a real classroom; virtual rocks!

Approaches to Studying Religions

by Jeffrey B. on September 18, 2018

Very informative course. I appreciated the very broad knowledge that was represented.

Project Management

by Amoy C. on September 17, 2018

A bit challenging but was worth it. I've learnt so much from this course.

College Algebra

by Jessica K. on September 16, 2018

Best way to take a class during a busy summer. Really enjoyed my first Sophia experience! Wish I had known about this earlier in my college career!!!

Human Biology

by Synkeithia H. on September 15, 2018

I enjoyed this course. However there were some typos in some of the lessons.

Art History I

by Stacey B. on September 14, 2018

Needed the course to transfer in. Art History subject is okay. Layout of course with Sophia is good, I like how they have tutorials available. I actually learned some interesting things for sure. Received an A.
