TESU English BA - Can I get most of my credits from Shmoop and Study.com?

[Ideas]

Speaking of, do you happen to know how the Chinese Poetry course works? Like is there a proctored online exam?

I only know what their site says:

Method: Most exams are available in an online or paper-based format and must be taken in a proctored setting. 

Proctor: Students must take their exams with a proctor certified at the level of their course or above. All exams for university courses must be proctored by a testing center. Proctors and testing centers must be certified by BYU Independent Study before exams are requested.

BYU Independent Study provides a list of individuals and organizations who have elected to proctor BYU Independent Study exams and have been certified by our office. BYU Independent Study does not guarantee the availability of certified proctors. Students are encouraged to contact proctors prior to requesting exams to verify availability, fees, and other policies required by the proctor.

In addition to the midterm and final exam, there are: "12 sets of practice homework exercises (may be resubmitted once with no fee), 13 lesson quizzes (comprehensive, open book, timed; lowest score is dropped);16 reports or reflection papers".
