Study.com - Courses that take longer than a month?
#12
bricabrac Wrote:I've now taken courses with both (7 SL and 3 study.com so far) and I don't think study.com is easier than straighterline. If anything straighterlline is easier because it's all open book. You can simply search out your answers in the book. And for the record, I wouldn't consider either at the same level of difficulty as college courses; but considering the source, I didn't expect it to be. Prior to proctor req, straigherline was more work, had quizzes per chapter. Took me a long time to push through macro and micro because the subject was boring to me and it had so many darn quizzes. Now SL's coursework has been condensed but still allows use of the book. Just another opinion, YMMV.

Some of the courses are not open book, so it's important to know going into the course whether it's open book or closed book. Some of the sciences are definitely closed book.
Here Researching for my son, who has done the following:
Community College: Intro to Philosophy, Fundamentals of IT, English Comp 1
Saylor: Intro to Business, Principles of  Marketing, Corporate Communication
Shmoop: US History 2 (WGU won't accept this)
ALEKS: Int. Algebra, College Algebra
Study.com: Personal Finance, Principles of Finance, HR Management, Global Business, Advanced Operations Management
Straighterline: US History 2, Environmental Science, US History, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, English Comp 2, Principles of Management, Business Law, Business Ethics, Psychology, Organizational Behavior, Accounting 1,Communication, Managerial Accounting, Statistics
Ed4Credit: Managing Information Systems
Sophia: Project Management
WGU: Bachelors in HR Management 

Second son is currently attending Penn Foster for his high school diploma, then on to Ashworth for An Associates in Criminal Justice
