For English Comp II, there are 7 Touchstones. All of these (except 1 or 2) require the previous assignments to be returned with a grade before you can submit the next assignment.

You don't want to have both of these classes open at the same time, lest you wind up with literally days of nothing to do. Also, while max of 1 week to grade is the promise, they've dropped the ball on that for English Comp II especially in the past. Some students have wound up waiting 2-3 weeks for a single assignment grade, even as other students report near-instant grading for Touchstone assignments in other classes.
That's ****** up, so I'll have take a 4 month membership with them?

You can have 2 Sophia classes open at once. If you complete other courses while waiting for the grading of the English Comp Touchstones, you might only need 2 or 3 months. But it's probably best to just pay for the 4 month plan ahead of time, if you can, yes.
In progress:
TESU - BA Computer Science; BSBA CIS; ASNSM Math & CS; ASBA

Completed:
Pierpont - AAS BOG
Sophia (so many), The Institutes (old), Study.com (5 courses)
ASU: Human Origins, Astronomy, Intro Health & Wellness, Western Civilization, Computer Appls & Info Technology, Intro Programming
Strayer: CIS175, CIS111, WRK100, MAT210

Or you can skip the courses, and take them elsewhere.  SDC has them both, as does the CLEP exam, and some other options.

If it's so ****** up, you can just pay full rack-rate at SNHU.  Or you can be appreciative that there are some cheaper alternatives out there, and chill with the language.

No no no, I'm not ungrateful, it just my small bugdet.
Right know I have only $ 100 to spend on 15 courses (Gen Ed + some required ones only available at Sophia)
