For those trying to complete these things as quickly as possible, I would suggest that you start with Intro to Psychology, move to Greek Philosophers, then tackle Intro to Ethics. These courses build on and reuse material from one another. This will let you get 3 courses done in only a little more time than you'd need for one course.
Greek Philosophers is extremely short, just one unit. It might actually work best if you take that one first, but I'm not sure. Psychology, Philosophers, Ethics makes the most sense to me personally. Psychology has a bit of philosophy and ethics in it. Ethics starts off with philosophy and looks like it might cover some psychology.

Right, so I can't drop the course then because I currently have 4 active courses and 10 more scheduled to start over the next 4 weeks(These were all registered for before they enacted the new policies.)

This is sound advice and I don't fault your logic at all. But I wanted to point out that when I took Ancient Greek Philosophers in February, it was $149, as opposed to $329 for most of Sophia's other 3-credit courses.
I've no idea what the prices will be on any of Sophia's courses when the promotion is over, but I think it's something to consider. If I were in a position where I was forced by time constraints to leave some free courses on the table at the end of the promotion, this would probably be one of them. Of course, if I only had a matter of a few hours to work with, this could be a viable option.

You can start them before the scheduled start date. You can only work on 2 courses at the same time.

If you already scheduled them, it looks you can take them all at the same time. However, you can't start any new ones that aren't already scheduled until you've finished the ones that are already scheduled.

Totally true, sadly my English Composition I course is in progess and not pretty advanced, im finishing with part 2 of 5... and waiting for the first assignment to be graded...
I actually don't know what to do... i really don't want to drop this course...
I would just finish it out and be proactive. You can chat with them to see if they can grade it faster.
FYI I dropped two courses as I already have them from a different school, It does not give me the same message for "starting" again compared to one I never added. Imo it probably will require a msg to Sophia to get reactivated if you drop it.
I used there online chat at Sophia, they told me it's 7 to 14 business days to get a touchstone graded.

For English Com i suggest to sign up for both on 31 July as last courses. This way you will be free to do all other courses without worrying about any time waiting for Touchstones. Finish as many courses as you can before 31 July. Then enroll in English Com 1+2.

Agree, it takes me 32 days to finish English Composition 1, of course i am slower because i am not native english speaker, but considering the time it takes to take the course itself, write the assesments, and wait for them to be graded, these are courses that need more time that others.
Assesment number 4 needs assesment number 3 graded in order to being able to send it.
