I was going to do history 308, as Allvia suggested but I just noticed that it requires two 2000-3000 word essays. I still have to finish my 1000-1200 word essay for english comp I that I've been putting off.

I wish I could just submit the white papers I have to write for work but they don't fit the essay prompts. facepalm.

All of Study's UL courses will require at least one paper (or other project) in addition to the exam.  If you stick to the rubric and they are pretty painless - don't over think them.   Make sure you get in your two exams per month though, the papers can be handed in after the exam(s) but the exams do not carry over into the next month.  I personally preferred to take the exams first - then you'd have a good idea of what level your paper needed to be at to pass.

I thought that study.com said your papers had to be submitted before you could take the final? You don’t have to wait for your grades though. I’ve already taken the sociology final and I’ll be taking the college comp I final in a day or so. I was going to finish/submit my argumentative essay today but I ended up having too much going on in my house to find somewhere quiet to write.

I’ve managed to successfully watch two episodes of the new Star Trek though.

There is no need to submit assignments before taking a final. I currently have three classes where I am postponing the assignments but have already taken the final.
