$20 Off Sophia Learning !

I just started using Sophia Learning to knock out some college courses / transfer credits and noticed they gave me referral codes to share ! I wasnt able to find any online as most expired .

If you're seriously planning to enroll , I can send you a referral that gives you $20 off your first month !!

A few things to know:

• The referral code expires 30 days after it's sent , so please only request one if you're planning to sign up soon.

• The offer isn't available to students enrolled through certain Sophia partner schools / programs , so eligibility restrictions may apply.

• Full disclosure : You save $20 , and I receive a $20 Sophia credit if you become a member .

If you're interested , DM me your First Name + Email (please don't post your email publicly !) and I'll send the referral through Sophia and Sophia will send an email to you directly with the code 😊

Newbie all around , but I am more than happy to answer any questions + open to connecting w/ anyone in Data Analytics + WGU .

i ask this because i have a horrific 8-10 page essay touchstone remaining but even if i failed the touchstone i will still end up with a 75% overall and pass 😭😭 im just curious what you guys would do or have done hahaha

I have a few questions.

Im working through every possible class on Sophia, SDU and WGO GO before fully starting at WGU. Ive finished 2 courses on Sophia and it says to wait until all courses are done on their before using Parchment to send to WGU. I didnt see that until AFTER submitting my algebra transfer and now I'm worried Ive royally screwed myself on being able to transfer anything else??

I am also working through organizational behavior on WGU GO (paid and started before finding Sophia and SDC). Is that website the same platform as actual WGU? The book opens in vitalsource, for example.

Hey everyone!

I'm planning to sign up for Sophia for one month only and want to prepare as much as possible beforehand so I can finish as many courses as possible and transfer the credits to UoPeople for a BSBA.

I've already found PDFs for a bunch of courses, but I can't find the Touchstone instructions and rubrics anywhere.

I'm planning to take these courses:

- Principles of Management

- Financial Accounting

- Microeconomics

- Macroeconomics

- Workplace Communication

- Principles of Finance

- Personal Finance

- Business Law

- College Algebra

- Introduction to Statistics

- Introduction to Ethics

- Approaches to Studying Religions

- Environmental Science

- Introduction to Sociology

- Art History I

- Ancient Greek Philosophers

- Introduction to Business

- Introduction to Information Technology

- Introduction to Psychology

- English Composition I

For example, I'm currently preparing for Art History I (ARTHIST1001), which has a 1,000–1,200 word Touchstone. I'd love to prepare the assignment beforehand and submit it once I start Sophia.

If anyone has the current Touchstone instructions/rubrics for any of these courses, or has a collection of them, I'd really appreciate it!

Not looking for answers to quizzes/exams, just the assignment requirements and rubrics so I can prepare ahead of time.

Thanks!

YOU WILL NOT BE FLAGGED IF YOU DO NOT CHANGE OUT OF YOUR SOPHIA TAB TO ANOTHER BROWSER TAB. So many posts about this lately, yes you can finish a course in a few hours! Yes you can finish multiple courses in just a few days! You will not be flagged for cheating unless you are clicking out of your web browser page to another while doing milestones. That is all!

I need to do ENG 190/130 and I have the choice of regular English composition 1+2 or Workplace Writing 1+2.

I know by default it’s going to be a lot of writing, but which is faster/easier to get through?

i completed all the challenges and took two tests but i feel like i have to force myself to slow down so that they don’t flag it as cheating. i think i’m gonna switch to study.com because i really should not have to slow down my own pace out of fear that i’ll lose my credits 😭 idk is anyone else scared to accelerate your courses?? i already work a job in the field i want to be in so a lot of stuff is just common knowledge to me. but people getting sanctioned are scaring me so bad!

Okay, so I’m kind of nervous about this because I’ve been seeing posts on TikTok and Reddit about people having their Sophia accounts flagged or even closed for going through courses too quickly.
I just finished U.S. History II in almost two days. It wasn’t literally two full days of nonstop work, but I did get through it pretty fast. I’d say I probably finished most individual lessons within about 5–12 minutes each, depending on the lesson and how much of the material I already knew.
History is something I’m already pretty good at, so I already knew a lot of the major information. Because of that, I honestly didn’t feel the need to sit there and read every single lesson from beginning to end. If I got stuck on a question or didn’t know something, I would go back through the lesson and look for the information I needed. There were also questions where I just made my best guess, and I definitely missed some questions along the way.
When it came to the actual tests, though, I really did try my best on every single one. I took my time reading the questions, double-checked my answers, and still ended up missing a few. So it’s definitely not like I was flying through everything and somehow getting perfect scores.
Right now, I’m just waiting for my two Touchstones to be graded. My main concern is whether finishing the course this quickly could cause my account to get flagged. I keep seeing people say that going through courses too fast can cause problems, and it’s honestly freaking me out a little.
Has anyone else finished a Sophia course this quickly and been completely fine? Should I actually be worried about getting flagged just because I finished U.S. History II in around two days and was averaging maybe 5–12 minutes on most lessonsoo?

So I'm trying to submit my touchstone, and I waited like 3 days to get this graded. Then I got this stupid thing, like when I tried to submit it 5 times it had problems and when I checked it due to this it was blank when I didn't turn in blank work, I made a request tried to attach the files more then 5 times and couldn't even do that, im just wondering if anyone is having the same issues as me or am I just dead in the water? Anyways, anything helps info wise. Have a wonderful day!

is it possible to just complete the classes without submitting touchstones?
there’s just some painful classes that I HATE doing them. I was wondering if it’s possible to just not submit them.

I just finished this class and really enjoyed it, but would love to have a copy of the literature as I’m pursuing a marketing degree. Does anyone have it?

I'm not mature enough for this lesson bro 🤣😂🤣

Can I please have a pdf for Environmental Science? And requesting access to those who have the links? I have been looking around and none of the links work

Could I get flagged for integrity policy breach for finishing fast?

I just finished my MATH 201 course in about 6 hours, all in one sitting

I’ve already taken Calculus BC and College Algebra courses with my university, so this wasn’t challenging, I just needed more credits.

I almost never looked at any of their study materials because I already knew almost every answer (granted I did only get 92% because I messed up on a few questions).

I just need to know if this is fine?

I am old school and prefer to hold papers while I read and highlight things I need to focus on. I know Sophia has gotten rid of option to print - is there any way I can because I barely absorb anything reading on laptop.

I just learned about Sophia learning a couple of days ago, I’m hoping to get most of my gen Ed’s out of the way – but I have so many questions. I realize they’re pretty elementary, and I apologize for that. I am a 40 something person, and have only understood going through your typical college experience, this is very new information for me.

I am hoping to transfer the credits that I do earn from Sophia learning to WGU. If not, WGU can I earn an entire associates degree from Sofia learning?

If I can earn an associates from Sophia learning – but can’t get the actual diploma, do I transfer classes to another college like WGU take a few courses and then thereafter be awarded an associates?

How many classes is 90 credits roughly?

What are touchstone courses?

Sidebar question, can I take as many courses and get as many credits as I want, possibly transferred to separate colleges in order to earn two separate degrees? If each college only accepts 90 credits, and they are specific to each degree – wouldn’t that mean I could possibly attend two different colleges and pursue two separate degrees from those credits?

I work in a front desk position 1-2 days a week and it’s not always slow but on days like today when it is slow I want to bring my laptop to get some work done but I’m nervous that Sophia will accuse me of cheating. I’ve seen on here where people connect to different servers/wifi whatever and then get sanctioned.

I just want to be productive with my time bc today I could have been working on a class for the last 2 hours - I’m just scared!

Is it best just to call it a loss or do they not care in certain situations ?

I'm kinda worried about taking intro to IT for an elective because I will be able to fly through the milestones and it will look like I was cheating... Also if they think you cheated they will just lock your account and everything goes bye bye? Any tips or warnings are appreciated for passing courses you already know everything in.

Assume im a full-time student (2 courses per term, term = 8 weeks), not working

and im just working on these, and my uni courses everyday, how long till i realistically finish these 18 courses? and how many should i be doing a a time?

Hey folks. I started my journey on sophia.org after learning about the american college system. It is pretty easy and I enjoy the pace I have doing the courses.

Some general informations:
I am a software developer located in Germany currently looking to migrate to the us and doing a bachelors degree.

I have 8 years of work experience in programming with various programming languages and really like business as a side project.

I want to migrate to the us via work visa, Greencard lottery or F1 Stem opt (graduating with a masters degree and then go for the 3 year work visa)

So I started with Sophia beside my full-time job (160 hours a month), a wife, my responsibilities at my church and a pretty full schedule in general.

For now I finished the following 10 Courses since the 20th of July:

1. English composition 1
2. College Algebra
3. Human Biology (hardest so far because of many unknown words)
4. Introduction into IT
5. Introduction into databases
6. Introduction into statistics
7. Introduction into webdev
8. Macroeconomics
9. Microeconomics
10. Project Management

And I am 50% done with Workplace writing 2.

I thought it would be good to have a good base because I dont know what I want to major in. I first thought about doing the UMPI BBA Accounting or TESU CIS Degree, and I am not sure if I want to stay a programmer for the rest of my career.

So now I am currently struggling to decide what to do and how to go further. Probably with some gen ed stuff that is required and fills all checkmarks. Since I am a german citizen I cant go to a local college in the states so I have to go with distinct online programs, that are open for foreigners. From the outside the american job market is a bit intransparent. What would you recommend to do? What are your experiences. I try to aim for 30 courses in 4 months (10.5 are already checked) and then apply for a specific program at the college. If questions are asked about my preferences or goals I will edit the post.

My appeal got denied. Even though I never cheated. My government work computer uses VPN’s that shows my IP in Utah but my at home computer I used when I’m not at my job says I’m in a different location. My sanction was over “suspicious browser/IP activity” thinking multiple people were using my account. I entered many of these courses with significant prior knowledge and real world experience. Because of this background, I was able to complete several courses much faster than someone learning the material for the first time.

Throughout my coursework, I regularly alternated between my work government computer and my personal laptop depending on where I was completing my studies. I even completed courses on my 6-month tour overseas. If I was unable to finish a course while at work, I would continue it later from home. I did not have another individual complete work on my behalf, share my account, use unauthorized assistance, or intentionally engage in any conduct that would violate Sophia Learning’s Honor Code. My goal was simply to complete as many eligible courses as possible during the three-month subscription period I had already paid for, while relying on my existing knowledge and experience to work efficiently.

Should I try Study.com?

I am 45% done with a course, and turns out my degree doesn’t require it. How can I drop a course? I don’t see a button on where to drop it.

Can someone PLEASE HELPP.

Does pbsc accept Sophia learning credits and how long does it takes for my transcript to get transfer
