Since so many reviews are so negative about Shmoop, do any other alternative sources exist for affordable upper-level credit? I looked at Study.com, Straighterline, Dakar, etc., but only can find Shmoop. If it is so poorly designed, I don't want to bother using Shmoop.
I'm pursuing a BA in English and doing all my UL courses on Shmoop and I've gotta say, I don't think it's as bad as all that. Some of the links are dead in a few of the courses, and the readings can be time consuming, but if you pay attention, take notes, and prep well enough it's all pretty easy. The unit tests and the finals all use a lot of the same questions from the quizzes, and I've found them all to be fairly easy to deal with.
Good luck!
