With Sophia Spanish, two of the five Touchstones do require the previous touchstone to be graded before you submit it. Touchstones 1, 3, and 4 can be submitted immediately after finishing the relevant unit.

That is different! I never understood why all of the Touchstones couldn't be submitted faster in Sophia. Having to wait really slowed down competing the courses. Maybe it's so they make more $$.

I can see that. Probably to make more money like you said. The more time you spend on a course, the less courses you can take. Which means you need them for more months lol.

I paid the 20 for instantcert and requested a refund that night after trying to understand what the heck was going on. lol. I am almost finish with sophias quizzes. The touchstones don't seem too bad. Figured 4 or 5 100 page essays are about the same as 1 500 page essay.

It's not a 500 page essay. It's a 500 word essay. Much of which you will complete in the Milestones so you don't have to write the entire essay. The oral component was about a minute long at UMPI. I finished the course in a week at UMPI. The Touchstones will take time to be graded. If it's like the other courses, this will hold students up because you can't submit the net Touchstone until the first one is graded. Some courses have been taking a week or more to be graded lately. That would make this a long slow course. Many people complete Spanish on InstantCert in under a week. I'm not saying don't try Sophia. But know that it may be long and slow. We also don't know yet if UMPI will accept this course as Spanish 1. So that is something to keep in mind.

Sorry, typo lol. Yeah, I am done with all the quizzes on there. just haven't started the touch stones. Working at the moment and have to do some tax stuff so I will report back once I finish.
