I just started Shmoop yesterday and I may be overlooking it, but when I went back today to continue where I left off, there's no record or dashboard or list of my courses to choose from. I have to do a manual search for the course (taking me to 2 different pages at least), then search inside the course for the chapter I was on. There has to be an easier way to find my place where I left off?
I am sure I am missing something somewhere...
Looks like it should be an easy way (other than this) to get maybe 30 credits or more in a few months? I hope so!

With your Shmoop courses, it's best to bookmark the courses. It frustrated me too.
My complaint with them is a course final I took over a month ago, which I accidentally retook for a 0 grade, that Shmoop has yet to fix. Their only reply, after my emails to them, is "We have not forgotten about you... yada yada yada"

I think it is intentional on their part. When you go to take the exam, they don't want to make it too easy for you to find the information you need to answer a particular question. I might be a little bit of a pessimist, however. I resorted to keeping every single tab open for the particular course I was working on, and only working on one course at a time.
I ended up passing 12 courses with Shmoop between December 19th and January 3rd, but that was 16-18 hour days for the most part, with no days off. I also wasted 5 days before that trying to pass Contemporary Literature (just skip that one, trust me).
Good luck!

Holy SNAP! That's awesome! I am at home currently so will cram and get as many done in March, all day or night, as well.
So 2 questions then: are any of Shmoop courses UL?
and do you have your BALS Humanities plan I can see? LOL! I have a plan for BALS someone here made me and I'm working on it, but I like to see other people's plans too. I haven't decided on any AoS or not, yet, so that's why.
and Socsci Thanks! I bookmarked it from your link.

I was happy to give back some info to the forum, since I've learned basically everything I know about getting a degree here. Before I found this place I was convinced I'd never be able to get my bachelors. I love this place

Check out this thread for the lit courses, if you haven't yet:

Basically you can do your whole core requirements with Shmoop. I'll do up my plan in my accountability thread later today

These plus the study.com History of the Vietnam War (the one without an essay, make it easy on yourself) will get you the 18 upper level credits you need for a BALS Humanities at TESU.
