Comparative analysis of Study.Com & Straighterline

I agree that they ask for too much writing in both courses. However, I don't necessarily agree with the comment on graders. It depends on which version of the composition courses you take.

The teacher who runs the teacher-led versions is fantastic, approachable, and grades properly per the rubric. She will even assist with things like narrowing thesis topics and pre-submission concerns if you need the extra help, just like a regular college instructor should. It does cost a bit extra for this service though.

If you use the non-teacher led version, then yes I agree with this completely. Then again, the graders at Study.com are only slightly better. IMO they follow the rubric but are inconsistent with their comments, which sometimes conflict with the material presented in the courses.
