I feel that it will be relatively fast to pick up an English degree while I'm doing my other degree, and I really want an English degree.
The only courses I have so far are Eng Comp I & II and a LL "Special Topics in Lit" which was from Shmoop.
My plans are: the 5 UL Lit courses at Shmoop, the cheapest Non-Western Lit course I can find, A&I Lit CLEP, American Lit CLEP, and English Lit CLEP. The CLEPs are worth 6 credits each.
I plan to do 2 of the CLEPs this year (at the same time), before enrolled in the degree, because the rest will be 24 new credits. I would like to start Non-Western Lit beforehand too, but I cannot unless I get a loan, which I don't think I can get yet.
The cheapest Non-Western Lit seems to be the BYU-IS course, which I believe I can be started at any time, and finished as quickly as one wants.
I think I will also do Advanced Technical Writing at Study.com, but I wish I could pay them for only 1 course instead of 2. I don't need this course, but I'd like to have something (besides Eng Comp I & II) that's a writing course. It is tough budget-wise for me, so this is not a certainty.
I think that I might be able to do all the Shmoop courses in 1 month, but I would probably want to do at least 1 or 2 extras, so I may split Shmoop over two months.
When I previously had a Shmoop membership, I had started 2 or 3 Lit courses that I did not finish. So I know how they are. I find them to be frustrating because I feel like even if you've read the material 3 times, you might not be able to figure out what they are looking for in the question. However, I want the English degree and I want it cheap
Edit: I would like to find a school that offers a Non-Western Lit course and also Discrete Math, so I don't have as many transcripts and loans.
Edited to add: I am interested in doing PLA (through LearningCounts) for the Non-Western course, but it seems kind of risky. I think it would be fun because I'd have some leeway to choose writing topics and books. If my scheduling wasn't so tight, I would probably try it, because I think it would save money too. I might try it, but I am probably better off doing a course. (Someday I want to PLA something! Maybe in 2019.)
