SDC Upper Level Courses

[Merlin]

Has anyone completed up to 5 of these for the upper level requirements? Seems like most people on here knocked out most courses before courses were downgraded earlier in the year.

Reading the assignment instructions for a lot of SDC courses, they seem pretty tough. Research companies, write multiple reports/essays, etc.

I don't know how I am going to get through 5 of these courses while managing to study and pass the quizzes/final as well. Completing 2 upper level in a month seems tough at the $199 price tag. Exchange rate makes one of these SDC months approx. $253 CAD right now...

I wish there were more upper level options out there. I don't have the option of clep/dsst tests. 
Wish TESU still accepted shmoop, the price tag seems better.

I'm taking 3 of the upper-level study.com courses now, and I've taken a couple others that have projects / written assignments. The thing about them is they typically have fewer quizzes so it ends up balancing itself out time wise. So far they've all taken about the same time as the longer lower-level courses. Other than Systems Analysis, which I'm still not sure how to complete so I've put the project on hold for the moment.

As for Shmoop, even if TESU did accept Shmoop again now that they've got the proctored option, it wouldn't matter since all the Shmoop courses are ACE recommended for lower-level credit. So TESU wouldn't accept them as upper-level anyway.
