Wish I hadn't given Straighterline my money

It's unfortunate that this was your experience.

I completed 72 credits with them in record time and could not be happier.

My only complaint is they don't offer more UL courses so I could have taken the full 90 with them.

As I said, I'm sure my experience would've been perfectly fine if I had taken a course that required little-to-no interaction with the people they've decided to hire. I wish this hadn't been my first experience with them.

What made you decide to stick with them over Study.com?

Too bad you didn't read any of the recommendations I've posted about the English Comp sources at Straighterline. They can be great, but you MUST take the teacher-led version!

If you take the generic version, you'll end up with random SmartThinking tutors as graders so you never know what you'll get, plus they don't even always follow the course rubric. I always recommend folks take English Comp from another provider if they don't want the teacher-led version.

The teacher that runs the teacher-led version is awesome, she's really easy to work with and is very consistent on her grading and in following the rubric.

If you do english comp 2 at SL, keep that in mind. The same teacher runs that one.

I had no idea there was such a thing! I'm so mad at myself for getting stuck in this course. How does one access the teacher-led version? I didn't see that as an option.

If you haven't completed the course yet, you can contact support and ask for them to remove you from it and credit you from the course. You can then use the credit to apply towards the teacher led version. It's like $40 more, but worth it.
