Sophia English Comp 1 Touchstone Issue

[ss20ts]

Welcome to Eng Comp! The grading from hell course. You can't complete the course without a 50 or higher on the last Touchstone. You have to submit them all to complete the course. You can always make some edits and resubmit it.

However, because you are not guaranteed the same grader (even for revisions) you might get a different grader who will not like the other grader's advice about the APA issues (they have conflicting learning materials AND advice from graders on APA) and will dock you for your revisions.  Also, if you change your paper, a new grader might not like the revisions you've made.  It can be very frustrating.  One thing that is possible is to make contact with student support and ask for a second opinion on the grading of your final paper.

I had the same grader for 5 out of 6 of my papers in Eng Comp 2 on Sophia. That person was just evil. They marked off points for things not in the instructions or rubric. They said I needed to add things not in the instructions or rubric. I never recommend Sophia's Eng Comp courses to anyone because the grading is atrocious.
