amazing and easy to learn with the resources that's provided.
by Ajibola A. on March 17, 2025
I learned a lot in this course, and it's definitely on par with a brick-and- mortar 3-credit course. Good job, Sophia!
by Georgeann S. on March 17, 2025
I've been out of school since 1975 and this was very difficult to complete.
by Michael W. on March 17, 2025
Great course much harder than expected.
by Logan L. on March 17, 2025
Really good course. The questions are well-worded and encourages you to actively learn the material.
by James C. on March 17, 2025
Didn't like the politically one sided views on the gender topic.
by Christopher S. on March 17, 2025
pretty easy. now I'm done with goal area 6 for my degree which is exciting!
by Kayleigh V. on March 17, 2025
I feel that many of the questions had multiple answers that were correct (With one not being more correct than the other).
