Shmoop Question(s)
#11
I learned of Shmoop via this forum and signed my teenage son up for a history course, which he really enjoyed and did well with. Unfortunately, WGU won't accept credits from them since the finals are not proctored. He re-took the course with Straighterline - finished it in two days, so no real harm done, and he enjoyed the Shmoop class much more. Just be aware if you are wanting to attend WGU, you should stick with Saylor, Straighterline, and Study.com.

Yes, WGU, while a little more flexible on accepting credit from alternative sources, still has rules that you should be aware of. They do not accept all ACE credit.

It's a weekend, they don't work on weekends. Generally 3 business days, if ACE is fast, it can be the next business day!

I asked Shmoop if they were anticipating any of the literature courses getting upper level approval. Doesn't seem like that will be happening any time soon.

"Hi,

Thanks for reaching out! We have a bunch more courses in the works at the moment; right now, we're focused mostly on lower level. Keep an eye out in th next couple weeks for more approved courses!

Team Shmoop"

I was hoping that they would get any Lit Course approved by this point. I still have a week left to my sub at this point but it won't be enough time now. :-(

I think they implied that it would be November/December time frame when they originally said they were working on them.
