Wonderful readings and lessons. The quizzes were easy to follow along.
by Francia D. on May 27, 2026
Sophia provided a lot of resources which helped me. This is great for students.
by Solomon L. on May 27, 2026
great course
by Pedro M. on May 27, 2026
This was not at all what I expected in a positive way. I learned a lot more than I thought I would.
by James V. on May 27, 2026
As with a majority of Sophia Courses, the professors and curriculum possess an ironic bitterness toward the Christian view of God. This disregards the fact that the country we live in was built freely with those principles. I understand the course must suit everyone; however, I find it funny that there is zero mention of the Muslim, Hindu, or any other religions, for that matter. We decide to bite the hand that feeds us.
by Isabella Q. on May 26, 2026
Loved the videos, biggest help!
by Jennifer M. on May 26, 2026
Very fun ! the tutor was a great explainer
by Chanei M. on May 26, 2026
I couldn't wait to get to the review! This course isn't extremely hard (there is difficulty don't get me wrong) but the amount of questions you have to get through is a nightmare. It can obviously be done but you need to perseverance and coffee!
