Thomas Edison State University suspended indefinitely Shmoop courses

[BSLIONS]

I am so curious now to know exactly how many credits and in what period of time. Technically one can open every exam and take them cold - possibly passing multiple courses in one day. Even with cheating - open tabs or word docs - I don't see the probably of passing most exams in this way, even with background knowledge. Maybe multiple people were taking the exams on the same account? or maybe somewhere out there in shmoop universe someone has created some kind of cheat sheets for the exams (since they don't tell you what questions you got right or wrong though this may not be possible). Very curious and I'm sure there is a lot more to the story.

I actually took all the Shmoop courses I did cold. Went straight through and took the end of chapter tests plus exams. Passed 5 courses and failed 1. But the one I failed I was just doing because I still had some time on my account. So it can be done.

Latest academic evaluation done but Shmoop courses are not approved .

There is a message at the end of academic evaluation

05/15/18

Due to what may be aberrations in course credits earned based on the completion of Shmoop University courses, the acceptance of Shmoop University courses will be suspended while we conduct an extensive review of our concerns. This suspension remains in effect until further notice. Thomas Edison State University generally accepts the credit recommendations of the American Council on Education (ACE) CREDIT and the National College Credit Recommendation Service (National CCRS). The list of programs, licenses and certifications reviewed by these services are constantly being updated, and the University reserves the right to determine which recommendations it will accept.

I got the same thing after the admission advisor told me they would be. So I emailed them again citing the last email I got from them. We’ll see what happens.
