UPIstudy for homeschool

[homeschoolmom1]

So I decided to splurge a bit and signed up our 12 year old homeschooler for the lifetime membership at UPIstudy ($449). At this age, speed is not of the essence. In fact, I would prefer her to take her time with assignements, revise them (multiple times, if necessary) under my guidance and really spend time learning rather than speed running the courses. The goal is for her to do multiple courses over the course of the next 4 years before she can enroll at TESU and also top it up with UL ones at Coursera. Undecided as of which degree she will go for at this point, and things may change at TESU and with her interests anyway.

Currently doing Brilliant.org for math and Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW) for writing and grammar.

Please keep us posted! UPIstudy has been aggressively trying to promote their site on here, and there is not a ton of experience/feedback that's been posted by actual students (relative to some of the other big course providers) so I'm definitely interested in seeing how they stack up!

I will post here once we have a course completed. So far, I can report that you can enroll in unlimited courses simultaneously when you are on the PRO lifetime membership. That's nice. Exams are AI-proctored (whatever that means) and while you do quizzes, the system flags if you navigate away from the quiz or open another window. Also, I think all of the courses have quizzes, assignments and a final exam. Even the math courses seem to have multiple assignments. Not sure what those are all about, since the assignments are not described in the syllabus (which you can download), and you cannot see the assignment until you have completed the prior chapters. I think you can only do the next chapter once you have finished the prior. Harder to speed run than some other platforms, I bet.

Exactly what I was thinking too, get the UPI Study lifetime membership for less than the cost of the yearly membership. I wonder when the sale ends, I want to start them next semester or maybe a month or two earlier if needed. I am getting this for both my teens (daughter and son), they're going to try and finish the requirements of an Associates and Bachelors before graduating high school.

I remember randomly coming across UPI study once in the ACE National Guide because I was bored. I went through EVERY organization that is listed on there and I remember seeing that they had a bunch of courses to offer.

So glad that I registered for that one free course in American Literature a couple of weeks ago!

Thank you for your post. I'm a homeschool mum too. When signing up for the UPIStudy package for $449 did you use your email or make a new one for your child? Also, where did you put your child's name? I wasn't sure if I'm supposed to put their name in the "billing info" section as there doesn't seem to be anywhere else to put it, or does that option come after the initial purchase? 

Sorry for all the questions. Thank you for your reply
