Shmoops courses and WGU
#1
I am currently taking Com101 to transfer over to Western Governers for the master teacher program. I still need to take an American Gov and World History course. Does anyone know if Shmoops American Gov is better than StraighterLine and if WGU accepts it?

I also saw shmoops offers a holocuast lit class... I wonder if this transfers over to a WGU literature requirement. Was this a good class? Would you recommend it?

WGU doesn't take any Shmoop. The reason is simple, none of their courses are proctors. Strangely, they accepted ALEKS. Go figure... your only options are other ACE providers.

what's even stranger is they will accept the udacity nano degree in analytics for transfer even though its unproctored

ALEKS did not renew their ACE reccomendation and is no longer an option for credit.

You should check out Modern States - CLEP exams as mentioned.
However, if you want cheap/easy/fast - StraighterLine and Study.com

What does it mean when the courses are Acrobatiq?

Acrobatiq is a platform the courses come in... I took several courses that were Acrobatiq format from StraighterLine.
Examples, Straighterline IT Fundamentals, Survey of World History. Courses weren't bad, finished both very quickly.
