As someone who does not get financial aid, this has been a huge help to me and finishing up my degree. During finishing this course, my school has unfortuantly stopped it's support for Sophia. Thankfully I had this course already in progress allowing me to finish it for credit. Thank you so much, it saddens me I can not finish my final gened through sophia since the sign up cut off was September 13, but this has helped either way!

Merci à vous !

by George M. on October 26, 2026
This course challenged me to think outside and dig deeper into the topics. I very much enjoyed this course.
by Daphne B. on October 25, 2026
Was a great experience, it dies a great way with breaking down complex topics like genetics, the heart, and hormones just to name a few. The lesson was easy to read and follow. the test were fair and directly matched to the study material. I recommended this course to anyone looking for a clear and straightforward introduction to how the human body works.
