It depends on the exact Touchstone requirements for Sophia. I, unfortunately, cannot see them.
Dang it, I was hoping to avoid touchstones as much as possible. I'll do some digging to see if the UMPI alternative is a better option and report back in this thread as it might be useful for others.

On it now. My target is to complete at least 40 credits in one month.
Some Sophia Touchstones are very short. Like maybe 500 words. You can preview the course before starting to take it, including seeing the Touchstone requirements. I took Intro to Sociology before they changed the course, so I cannot do this.
Intro to Sociology from Study.com should have no assignments, just an exam, and will also work for this requirement. SDC's Geography 101: Human & Cultural Geography is another possibility.

Or will I have to take another course for 2B and another course for 4C?Yes, one course can fill multiple objectives. It's theoretically possible to meet all GEC requirements with 13 classes (plus 1 credit science lab & 0 credit YourPace orientation) even though there are 20-30 requirements.

Is there a way to validate this?This is still in effect, though most students find it easier to just take MAT140 instead of completing an extra Calculus class. MAT140 is super easy. Calculus can be tricky.

As ever, thank you so much for your ongoing help. I've decided to take MAT140 at UMPI since it seems like the easiest option so now I'm trying to work out which course I should take to cover 3A and 3B. From the reading I've done so far, Foundations of Statistics seems to be the easiest option. According to the Wiki, it counts for 3 credits and also covers 3A and 3B, but there seems to be conflicting information on the boards. Is there any way to verify this?
