Shmoop -- maximizing subscription

[Ideas]

It depends. if you know the Bible you can do Bible as Literature in 2-3 hours by skipping the entire thing and just doing the tests. If you're familiar with Shakespeare you could do the same thing with those 2 courses. Probably most people could pass Media Literacy without reading any of it too

if you're actually going to go through the material and learn it for the first time, it will take you a few days per course. assuming you have a job and other things going on i dont know why you couldn't do 1 course a week. if you're not working and can study full time i dont know why you couldn't do 2 a week or maybe 3. I work full time and I did 7 study.com courses and 3 shmoop courses in the month of October, but those were mostly in areas i'm familiar with. Some people wouldnt want to keep that pace, or have other commitments or whatever

I think 10 Shmoop courses in a month is do-able though. it wouldnt shock me if someone said they did 15. for what they charge you for a monthly sub it is an amazing deal even if you only do 3 or 4

people complain about the "weird questions" on Shmoop and maybe i haven't taken the courses they have and its worse in those than others but in the ones i've seen so far you will definitely miss some questions here or there because they're worded weird but it won't be enough questions to matter if you know the material. I mean this is pass/fail so all you need to do is pass. If you are at a B-level of understanding the material, you will pass it. if you're at a low C, you might be in trouble.

Do you know how many of the UL Lit courses you did? 

Did you do Shakespeare? I read a few complaints about Shakespeare being hard, and it's always nice to see some more of the opposite. One of the users who said it was hard said he (she?) actually teaches Shakespeare or did in the past. I started the course and am a little stressed about doing it later.
