Reviews

Our students love the freedom, flexibility and support we offer. See what they're saying about Sophia's courses.

by Darrell L. on March 28, 2023
I love economics and alot of this was a refresher and it was spot on!!
by Nancy Marie F. on March 28, 2023
Nice course, very introductory to medicine. It does however have some errors. While it talks about de novo genetic mutations, questions in the milestones about dominant traits presented in a child of recessive parents will mark the correct answer as this scenario is impossible when plenty of autosomic dominant diseases such as Marfan Syndrome are new mutations.
by Sonia R. on March 28, 2023
Thank you for all the knowledge, this class was very beneficial.
by joselyn n. on March 28, 2023
This course was easy and very well explained. I understood everything this course mentioned now I feel more confident when I start college.
by Clifford H. on March 28, 2023
I had a fear of Economics, Sophia made things very simple to understand. I also love the idea of studying at my on pace. I would definitely recommend Sophia for students who want to finish, but they just don't have the finances.
by Kyran G. on March 28, 2023
Very detailed
by Chayse I. on March 28, 2023
Good introduction, but the questions (along with the answers) are extremely ambiguous. A lot of the answers are very open to interpretation, or the questions contradict the guides.
by Shannell W. on March 28, 2023
Information was at my finger tips, great class and very informative. I would recommend family and friends to Sophia Learning.
