Iam so happy and excited at this point. Sophia learning helped me so much because i was able to manage my time better, and at the same time i learned new things and i improved my abilities to compose essays
by Rhett R. on October 1, 2024
Great course, wish there were audio follow-alongs like they have in English Comp 1.
by Sarika P. on October 1, 2024
Overall, this question is well-structured and effective in assessing knowledge of the payback period and capital budgeting. It serves as a practical learning tool for anyone interested in finance, investment analysis, or business management.
by Jackelyn B. on October 1, 2024
I appreciated all the help I received from the tutors and other staff. They were promptly responded to my questions and concerns. In the end, I learned plenty about myself and it has prepared me for my writing assignments in my current schooling.
by John C. on October 1, 2024
Algebra should be a prerequisite. This was a little hard for me. This seemed to me to be more advanced than an introduction. It felt to me that I was doing advanced chemistry calculations. All in all, I was definitely introduced to Chemistry. I did learn though. Thanks
by Wyatt W. on October 1, 2024
Loved it!
by Rachel G. on October 1, 2024
I enjoyed the course. It was full of nutritional information.
by Rafael L. on October 1, 2024
A very challenging, but enjoyable course. The explanations included with the answers were extremely helpful to correct error that I made.
