Suggestions for coursework while I'm awaiting COSC/Excelsior credit reviews?

BTW, if you do choose EC, "English 204: English Composition I" and "English 205: English Composition II" at Study.com are supposed to count as English Comp there.

These courses DO work there, 100% certain of it.  Sophia's English Comp I & II work as well.

How easy are these, relatively speaking? Is one faster than the other? I'm a pretty fast writer, and I did quite well on the two CLEPs (Analyzing Lit and Eng Comp w/essay), but would like to avoid a ton of reading/work if possible.  I also did not read the traditional high schoolliterature most students did, as my high school did all "relevance to life" English, which was popular at the time. (non-fiction popular books and the like).

Sophia's is certainly cheaper. But students here have had mixed results, at best, with their papers being graded. Sophia's English Comp I has 5 papers and II has 7 papers. Most of the grade for English Comp II rests on those papers and if the grader isn't doing his or her job correctly then you're going to have a difficult time passing. I had my final paper for English Comp I returned with a 0 because "Jessica" had supposedly submitted a blank paper. I am not Jessica and my paper was not blank.

SDC's "English 204: English Composition I" has 5 assignments. These are worth 70% of your grade. 20% is the final exam. 10% to the quizzes. "English 205: English Composition II" has 6 assignments. The breakdown is the same as for 204. Generally speaking, SDC does a very fair job with grading. From what I have heard on the forum here, they seem to be much more responsive to various issues than Sophia is. 

Most of Sophia's classes are great and do their jobs at least adequately. This is not really true of their English Comp offerings. If you've already got a subscription for other things, it doesn't hurt to try out an English Comp class for yourself while you're doing the other courses. But I certainly would not recommend subscribing to Sophia just for English Comp. The TECEPs or SDC are better choices.
