by Jentzen D. on July 14, 2026
This is also a great course and it is very easy to learn because of the sophia taught tutorials!
by Pamela K. on July 14, 2026
The course covered challenging material, yet was taught in a way that made concepts understandable. Lots of helps available along the way.
by James B. on July 14, 2026
The course was great, the questions it asked was complex enough to keep my interest . The test were enough to keep you looking for answers.
by Corbin B. on July 14, 2026
I feel confident in public speaking after taking this course.
by Aaron N. on July 14, 2026
It was challenging primarily due to strict time frame requirements. It took me a little longer to complete than some other more academic courses- as I felt it was important to give the presentations the attention they deserved. After all.. If you don't represent your own opinion well... who will?
by Misty C. on July 14, 2026
Very easy to understand, finally understood things I couldn't figure out in high school
by Ryan R. on July 14, 2026
Lots and LOTS of information in this course but do not expect to take a deep dive into the industry of microeconomics, this course is 50% math and graphs. Get ready for abbreviations and how they tie to not only the private sector, but across the board and why you might be paying more or less for those Granny Smith Apples.
by Vincent M. on July 14, 2026
very informative course
