Just a warning but Sophia is apparently cracking down which I am not surprised about in the least. A lot of crying going on over at Reddit.

A link won’t mean much as it's not like they did any press release on this.

You can try the course yourself with a free account (if you don’t already have one) and see that copy and paste is blocked on the questions.

So, are they doing the same thing as what Study.com and other ACE/NCCRS providers are doing, or might be doing? Changes are bound to occur for many providers, including institutions, whether it's detrimental or if it's helpful... Hopefully, everyone thinks for the student, not the possible profits.

The irony about all this is it is likely to unfairly hurt WGU's reputation which is the Reddit school of choice simply from guilt by association. Redditor's are so dumb they share work arounds openly.
