Reviews
Our students love the freedom, flexibility and support we offer. See what they're saying about Sophia's courses.
by David H. on March 30, 2026
The course was not too hard, but it required me to pretend that I was an extreme leftist to answer the "right" answer.
by Randi D. on March 30, 2026
I enjoyed this course. If you are looking for feedback to improve the course, I would suggest:
1. More questions throughout the challenges to really drive home the concepts. The milestones were asking me questions on topics I wasn't so sure I encountered in the previous challenges, even though the material was there.
2. Splitting Plato and Aristotle into two separate challenges. I found the frequent comparing and contrasting to be confusing.
Otherwise, I was very pleased with this course, and thoroughly enjoyed the touchstone reflections. I felt that they really encouraged the student to engage with the concepts as the philosophers intended.
