The official guide to courses by Straighterline, Study, et al: We want YOUR input!

I dunno, I guess I'll be the contrarian. I think this sort of a "throw it all in" review thread just isn't that useful. Courses change, requirements change, accreditation changes, and it's confusing enough already, trying to weed through individual program requirements. I've done a review (and I'll be posting more, when I either have a minute or they add hours to the day) of my specific program/course stuff in a thread about that program. I think it would be repetitive and ultimately a poor use of time to add it to this one...further, they keep modifying courses/options/graded assignments...and I don't want people to see an isolated description of a class that winds up being a poor representation of what it became later on. (See also, the wiki at this site...a lot is outdated. But things keep changing quickly, so the community choose to invest time into shorter-lived, specific threads.) And my degree classes are basically niche offerings, with little general interest, so it's easier to just keep one thread running along. I think a super-long tangle of gen ed classes, mixed with AOS classes, and in no particular order, is just going to burn up the limited time folks have...they're going to be much more likely to post, "Hey, what meets TESU's Info Literacy requirement" or "Should I take SL or Study.com's English Comp" and read the ensuing discussion of options. True, an encyclopedic thread would yield search hits, but as I mentioned, information can change so quickly that the encyclopedic thread winds up being more confusing than helpful.

Have you thought about blogging your experiences? That might be both an informative and an inspirational project that would generate world-wide interest. There are so many people interested in doing what you're doing, following the nontraditional path. Your story and experiences provide a unique and valuable perspective to the educational community at large, from students, to providers, to faculty...might be worth considering. *tosses 2 pennies down from up here in the cheap seats*

Good point. This is why things like Google reviews, Amazon reviews, Facebook and Yelp are so unpopular. People don't feel like reading a bunch of reviews, and besides - the product could be discontinued or revised at any time, or the restaurant could change their menu, change management or even close unexpectedly. If the internet has taught us one thing, it's that reviewing things is a complete waste of time.
