Thank you. The past two I’ve seen were about a week.

Hmm, that's about double the three days where they mentioned 'at least'. So, seems about there... I would email support to allow you to open another course if you needed more than two open at once so you can progress faster while waiting for the grading.

I check Spanish and English composition and appears at the top: "Currently, it takes about 3-7 business days for a Touchstone to be graded. "
Looks like people do more extra work in the summer and graders takes holidays. Some of this subjects have several Touchstones so can need a bit of time to finish it.

I wish they would allow touchstones that don’t build on each other to be submitted at the same time. Like, why can’t someone turn in an annotated bibliography for paper they are writing later and a rogerian argument paper on a topic that Sophia chose at the same time?
I’m just antsy because GF only has English 2, sociology, and corner and capstones left on her degree, and she can’t do capstone until Sophia is done grading her assignments in those classes. To top it off, waiting on them to grade her stuff one at a time is going to cost an extra month, and it doesn’t make sense for her to take more courses until her TESU degree confers, so basically it’s costing 2 months this round just for them to grade her assignments in one class, when she’s written ahead to be ready to submit right away. Frustrating.
Ok. Vent over. How is everyone’s journey going? ?

I just finished 3 with touchstones. History took the longest taking about a week, next was Bio lab, took about 3 days and fastest was Spanish- All 5 took less than a day each even on the weekend. They all said grading would take 3-7 business days.
