Basic Question About Sophia Touchstones

[impasta]

Keep in mind it is possible to open a 3rd course with Sophia if you ask customer support.

This would help if you need to do some courses that have a single touchstone.

This is important to know! You can reach out to the Learning Coaches via live chat and get another course unlocked if you're stuck waiting on Touchstone grading. A couple days ago my fiancé had 5 courses active because the grading is taking forever. 

That being said, English Comp I at Sophia really does suck. My fiancé got one of his essays returned due to a bogus "plagiarism concern", so he reached out to the Learning Coaches. In the essay instructions, it required an explanation of the dictionary definition of a particular word. Turns out the dictionary definition in his essay was "too similar" to the dictionary definition another student had used in their essay. What?! Also, he had copied and pasted the Reflection Questions from the Touchstone instructions that he had to answer, and got dinged for that too because the questions were "too similar to what another student had submitted". Make it make sense...
