Introduction to Statistics

by Brian E. on June 24, 2017

I really like the idea of having multiple different ways to learn the material and having the ability to do it in my own time. However, there were many distractions. Some of the answers were incorrect in quizzes, and practice milestones. There were also many problems with the editing of the material.

Sophia replied on June 25, 2017

Brian - Congratulations on your successful course completion, and earning the college credits. We do encourage students to contact our Learning Coach throughout the course with questions, concerns or suggestions. We appreciate and take action on student feedback. We hope to have you in a future Sophia course. Thank you!
