So far.. so good.
by Corinne H. on May 8, 2026
So quick and easy with great content.
by Carina G. on May 8, 2026
Nice refresher. About 5 milestones.
by Nina G. on May 8, 2026
Great class
by lana q. on May 8, 2026
hard
by Mykola B. on May 8, 2026
This course is created exceedingly well and is very informative. However, it is possible to use the glossary to answer many of the milestone questions. This is not an issue since one still needs to learn most of the content to actually pass the milestones. However, this makes answering questions fairly quick and causes the system to suspect one of using AI.
by James C. on May 8, 2026
Statistics was a caprice topic of mine in high school seeing Sophia offer statistics as a 3 credit course definitely grabbed my interests as it was one of my top subjects it was a math that to me I can feel comfortable doing although at time I may get confused.
by Tiffany H. on May 8, 2026
Very informative course.
