Thank you!!!
by Brandon W. on August 14, 2026
Well thought out course! I was able to get a 100% on the final. Thanks to the easy to follow lessons and important equations. Thank you Sophia learning!!!
by Imani l. on August 14, 2026
Thank you!!
by Kevin A. on August 14, 2026
I had a diffcult time navigating the tutorials during the lessons and the source material was almost hidden in extremely small print. The source material had some of the information the tutorials did not and provided context that helped me do better. I suggest having the source material easier to access
by Edwin L. on August 14, 2026
Very informative. It aligns more with facts as opposed to high school history
by Mohammed F. on August 14, 2026
This was a very fun course, and useful tools to learn.
by Shirl l. on August 14, 2026
I wouldn't trust a teacher that gives an assignment for an introductory class, that its quality is for an advance course. I did not appreciate or enjoy the tension I had with Introduction to Sociology. I gave the instruction, a 1 star, but it should be no stars. Lousy class instruction and assignments not meant for an introductory class. I am not happy with the service I have received from this class instruction.
by Amani H. on August 14, 2026
It may be jam packed with information, but it was presented in a way that didn't make me feel overwhelmed throughout it. It did help that I already had some prior knowledge in microeconomics from prior business and finance classes.
