Is it incorrect to use "Est-ce quoi la Sorbonne?". It was marked incorrect on a quiz. Is that because I can't invert c'est in this case?

Bonjour Michele,
You cannot use the structure "Est-ce quoi...?" in French. If you wish to use quoi, you need to use the following:
C'est quoi + [noun]?
or
Qu'est-ce que + [noun]?
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
