College Algebra

by Jaime B. on November 8, 2018

Overall a great experience. Used the tutor feature once - SUPER helpful!

Introduction to Sociology

by Jordan B. on November 7, 2018

This course was awesome. Zach Lamb (instructor) did an incredible job explaining theories, concepts and terms in a live, interactive way that the other instructors didn't. I learned a lot. Fun and interesting.

Human Biology

by Jane B. on November 4, 2018

Very good review of a course I took 30 years ago. Videos and explanations were excellent.

Introduction to Statistics

by Ryan R. on October 30, 2018

Was very nervous going into this one, was hard and required outside help but very proud to have gotten it done.

Introduction to Statistics

by Angela R. on October 28, 2018

The video tutorials were great. I learned best by watching 3 per topic (instructors were Ryan B, Jonathan O., And Katherine W. in order or preference) The challenges and milestones properly reflected the material learned. Additionally, the Sophia learning representatives were always helpful whenever I had questions or concerns. Great Job Sophia Team!
