Straighterline English Comp

[richland]

I cannot finish this course. I have over 800 points in this class, and only the research draft and final left to complete. Based on a thread I read here, I thought I could write a fluff paper and finish the class. Nope. I wrote a really lengthy essay on special education, but they flagged it as a personal narrative and did not grade the paper. So, I spent a bazillion hours <slight exaggeration> trying to come up with something I could cite 4 sources on. I struggled for over a week just to come up with a topic. I finally came up with something, wrote it out and used citations. I submitted the paper on the 24th and it has taken them forever to grade. So, now it's been flagged again. This time due to low word count. If it takes a long as it did last time, I will not have this course finished by the time my account needs to renew. This is a DRAFT! Why can't they grade it low and suggest more content or something???

I could not recommend this class, or the english comp II class to anyone, based on this experience. For me, they refuse to grade a paper and give a low score - they just refuse to grade it. Getting a student advisor to allow me to resubmit, and then wait for grading again effectively drags out the course to the point they make another $99 on it. I'm so frustrated!

I had the same issue, I wish they just give me zero on the paper, so I can finish the course.
