More of the older courses now have Touchstones. US History 1 and Approaches to Studying Religions now have Touchstones. Looks like they're going back to older classes and adding them. Are there Touchstones in Python? I'm guessing Business Communications has them.

4? Wow! That seems like a lot. Hopefully the grading is better than Eng Comp!

To be fair, the public speaking one had 4 touchstones that were pretty manageable and decently graded.

I didn't take Public Speaking. I know from experience the Eng Comp has horrific grading.

I know it'll be a case of having to wait until someone does it for certainty, but for those that have been through the system, any gut feels about the new Business Comms course transferring into UMPI as the PCJ215 course of the same name?

Ive got a week and a half left of Sophia. At the point where I could look at this, or the English/Spanish courses.
I know that English is more reasonable at UMPI and the same with Spanish elsewhere, but have time...

As per Jessica, Spanish from Sophia transfers to UMPI. There's no way to know if the new Business Communication course transfers until someone completes it and applies to UMPI.
