by TyRisha C. on July 17, 2025
loved the assignments it actually got me to thinking about life
by Myhealani Y. on July 17, 2025
I wasn't going to take this class because it has so many touchstones, but I still had a month before I started college. It took a bit for some assignments to be graded but all in all I enjoyed this class. Every assignment builds on each other and that's why you can only submit one touchstone at a time. I got a 100% on my 3.2 Argumentative Research Essay with no revision feedback, so that was difficult to do the final draft for Touchstone 4. I had to just reword NOT rewrite the essay. I changed up some sentence structures, changed words, cut out things. Got a 100% on the final today. I had read people say the grades were harsh for this class but i didn't think so. I think they were actually fair and generous on some of my assignments. TIP: Use the Google Docs APA 7th Edition Template. I wrote all my papers for this class using this template and it helped so much.

Interesting learning system way of the path
by MINJUNG Y. on July 17, 2025
awesome! it was pretty tough but I got used to it.
by Petar K. on July 17, 2025
Covers topics that other businesses courses will eventually expand upon, such as marketing, accounting, management, finance and so forth. Good way to get the basics of each topic.
by Rick M. on July 17, 2025
Easy to follow. Good Format. It can be better if it had an audio for the text like some of their other courses, but not a big deal.
by Maurice P. on July 17, 2025
GREAT INSTRUCTORS & TUTORING ! :)
by Marvin M. on July 17, 2025
