StarighterLine - They give free of cost. I failed precalculus.

I think someone on here posted that they were able to retake a Sophia course that they didn't pass the first time. But I could be misremembering the situation.

What I've seen suggested on Sophia's website is that if you fail a course, you should either email or chat with the support team, and they will reset a Challenge or Milestone as needed for you to retake it for a passing grade.

Here's a DF link that seems to suggest that's not a problem: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-Failed-Sophia-Course

That's correct. I failed Greek Philosophers (ugh.. I hated that class) and they reset milestone for me.

Ah.  Obviously not a Monty Python fan.  "The Philosopher's Song" got me through that course.  Intro to Ethics, too.

For Sophia: you can retake Mile stone once. If you fail, you have to wait 30 days before taking the course again

I hated Intro to Ethics too. All that philosophical stuff is just a white noise for me.
I have an idea - Sophia should put info that The Philosopher's Song is pre-requisite to these two classes  Idea

I agree Intro to Ethics was not fun !
