Introduction to Statistics

by Allison A. on August 15, 2017

This course was the worst online course I have ever taken. I would never recommend this course or "school" to anyone. If it wasn't for the fact that I needed this intro to stats class to finalize my entrance to Nurse Practitioner school I wouldn't have taken it. I have a BSN and graduated with honors and 3 children and tow and this class was the hardest class I have ever taken due to lack of structure, lack of information, and if it wasn't for the fact that I'm pretty good at teaching myself then I would've severely failed this course. Take at your own risk.

Sophia replied on August 15, 2017

Congratulations on your successful course completion Allison. You did great in the course and worked hard to do as well as you did. We know this is a rigorous subject and students often benefit from more resources. We offer direct tutoring from our team, and also "on demand" tutoring available with a click of the mouse from within your course. Best wishes for your continued academic success! Thank you for taking this course with us.

Introduction to Statistics

by Lauren M. on August 4, 2017

this is such a difficult subject to tackle. i needed to complete a stats course for a pre-requisite requirement and i am really glad i chose sophia. it was less expensive than most online courses, there was plenty of help along the way, and the convenience of completing each unit at my own pace is incomparable.

English Composition I

by Rhon N. on August 3, 2017

good experience with Sophia...

Introduction to Statistics

by Kimberly B. on August 3, 2017

I agree with other assessments about the quick progression to difficult material in Unit 6. I also felt that the tutorials available in Unit 6 were "less" than the other Units, and it was definitely the most challenging material. From a content perspective, it was almost like Unit 6 contained as much/more/difficult concepts as the other five units combined. I liked having the option of multiple instructors and used all of them at points during the course.

Introduction to Psychology

by Leigh R. on July 15, 2017

I really enjoyed this course and learned a lot from it, I would recommend it highly to any who consider taking it.

Introduction to Art History

by SHUGG S. on July 13, 2017

Overall, the course was great. I really have 0 interest in art history but needed the course for my degree. The units are well explained and I liked that on most occasions there were transcripts for the videos just in case you preferred to read it instead. I was able to finish the course in roughly 2 weeks but keep in mind, there is a lot of information to take in. I wish this was around when I was in undergrad because I could have easily taken a year's worth of classes in a few months. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to take control of their learning.
