Study.com pros & cons
#1
I just enrolled on study.com and completed my first course and it is taking time for me to adjust to this  platform. I am used to more traditional courses, that generally have a textbook and I take a ton of notes. 

Already this last course I took on SL was Acrobatiq without textbook and found it a little frustrating.

But being completely new to study.com I found this platform most frustrating, to start with when you unenroll the course won't restart from zero, I wish there was an option. 

The best of 3 on quizzes is not viewable, the score is hidden from the student. Unless I am missing where to view the real time score. Otherwise it says all 5/5 100% 
I am used to have a real time idea of my progress. Do not need a feel good score that is not the real final one.

Third and last frustration is the quizzes that are shared among different courses and show already completed when I haven't even started a course, not giving me the chance to better my score nor giving me the option to say no I want to start this course from scratch.

Is there a reset time from unenrollment that makes the course go back from start ?

I know the price is good, the app is user friendly, and the courses are rather easy, especially since it has all the last UL courses I need to graduate and I am studying and doing my best but for some reason I am not happy with the platform and almost want to take the rest of courses with TESU since I can use finaid for a few more terms.

Am I the only one feeling like this about SDC? 

I have had zero problems with all the other platforms, sophia, Straighterline, TESU, TECEP, CLEP, etc.

I was surprised at my own frustration with SDC as I was expecting an easy transition to a different platform. And SDC support is zero help. 

I contacted them and they said the 5/5 I see is the final quiz score but that is not what the syllabus says. 
Have they changed some rules? Are they giving unlimited tries to the quizzes? Or the scoring is different for the $60 plan?
