This course was pretty good, though I would love some more variety in lectures or assignments.

Microeconomics

by RENESSA O. on May 8, 2018

Didn't like that there was no Sophia tutorial so I had to go back and watch videos during my exam.

Sophia replied on May 9, 2018

Hi Renessa, Congratulations on your successful course completion! You are correct, our exams are open book format, allowing you to access course tutorials during a Milestone exam. We hope to see you in a future Sophia course. Thank you.

Art History I

by Anja W. on May 3, 2018

Course content is ok, but organization/progression isn't always logically organized. Some key terms are not in the glossary, etc. Would benefit from further proofreading.

Approaches to Studying Religions

by Abigail L. on May 1, 2018

This is a very interesting class for those who are looking for a class to attend! You guys should try this!
