So I am getting back in the game and I've noticed that a lot of the Sophia courses have touchstones now which I am going to assume are an ACE requirement. As you all know Sophia has had trouble returning graded assignments the most notorious being the English courses. Are the rest of the classes as bad in terms of getting graded assignments back?

The courses with just one or two Touchstones (such as Business Law) are usually graded and returned pretty quickly. English Comp and Public Speaking are still dubious.

You can ask the agent via chat what the average turnaround is for your course.

I'm working through Statistics and Algebra while waiting over 11 business days for my final essay in English Comp to be graded. Agent said they are averaging 13 business days for this course.

My communication at work course took about 4 business days to get graded.

My first english I essay took about 8 business days. (I didn't realize I could submit them all at once... rip)

I currently have three essays out for 8 business days and it's likely going to take a couple more.
