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.

Introduction to Statistics

by Maria Joy M. on July 12, 2017

Take you for a wonderful experience. Sophia is a great learning environment. Keep up the good work.

Introduction to Psychology

by Luis M. on July 10, 2017

Introduction to Psychology

by carla M. on July 3, 2017

Thank you for this online course.

Introduction to Psychology

by Karen P. on July 3, 2017

This is my favorite Sophia course yet!

Introduction to Statistics

by John O. on July 1, 2017

Great course, definitely challenging and will require a lot of your time to comprehend. I would not have been able to get through this course without the help of Bethany, an incredible learning coach that helped me to truly understand how statistics works. Thanks Sophia, for another challenging yet rewarding course.

Introduction to Statistics

by Brian E. on June 24, 2017

I really like the idea of having multiple different ways to learn the material and having the ability to do it in my own time. However, there were many distractions. Some of the answers were incorrect in quizzes, and practice milestones. There were also many problems with the editing of the material.

Sophia replied on June 25, 2017

Brian - Congratulations on your successful course completion, and earning the college credits. We do encourage students to contact our Learning Coach throughout the course with questions, concerns or suggestions. We appreciate and take action on student feedback. We hope to have you in a future Sophia course. Thank you!
