StraighterLine

StraighterLine is a very good online school and very affordable. One of my daughters took some classes with them as well as my best friend. It’s on your own pace and you don’t have to rush. Whenever you wanna get it done, whether it's fast or slow, you can take your time. Also, the package that they offer as far as price goes is the best one. The learning experience was great. You get feedbacks right away once you submit your assignments. The assignments are graded in a timely manner. The exams are proctored so you get to interact with the proctor people, where you can schedule exams. And whenever you are ready to take the exam, they'll walk you through it and you get to know your results right after you submit. So that's always good.

When I started doing some microbiology classes at StraighterLine, everything was okay for me. I would tell myself that I was going to finish a course within one month, but before I knew it, one month was over and they would charge me another money. But that was my own mistake. Also, there was a laboratory material that ordered and could not use. They are still in my house, so I wasted that money. Other than that, I found it so difficult to complete my classes. Even during the exam, it was hard for me to get someone to proctor me. So, those difficulties made me lose interest in the StraighterLine.

I just needed one free elective credit to graduate so we were talking about quicker online solutions so that we could graduate this summer semester. My school recommended StraighterLine to me, and then I ended up choosing it over a CLEP exam because I like the pacing a little bit more. I liked that I knew explicitly what I would have to study because of the course itself rather than just buying the study guide from CLEP. I took Religions 101. I liked that topic. It was all around the most optimal experience for me.

It was very easy and very accessible to use. I'm definitely gonna use it again. I really liked the lesson that how you could look it over, and then you could do it at your own pace. You weren't forced or rushed to do anything. But you could get the classes done within two weeks if you like. I would look over each lesson and everything pretty well, and then I would take the quiz. When I came to the final, I looked back over at all my quizzes and tests and crammed it all in.

I switched to StraighterLine because it seemed more advantageous and a little bit better of an option. The examples are very good and they made the concepts very easy to understand. But certain videos seemed they were way too advanced for someone who’s very new to the concept. Sometimes, they would jump very deep into the material without going from from the surface then working down. There were a few chapters that were a little bit confusing. Sometimes, I had to use external resources to be able to figure out certain concepts. But for the most part, I was able to get through everything. It was nice to have the little quizzes at the end of every section too. That was helpful.

Western Governance University recommended StraighterLine because I was missing the pre-recs to complete a couple of courses. They recommended courses that could directly transfer into WGU and there was a search portal that would tell me exactly what it would transfer to. The portal was very user-friendly and then, we got right into the course within hours of signing up. If you really wanted to, you could make a lot of progress.

StraighterLine appealed to me as it was at your own pace. To be successful, it takes time and reading since you’re teaching yourself. There was a link to get help and maybe it was easy but I didn't attempt.

StraighterLine was affordable and I can do it on my computer. It's more available to my everyday schedule. Also, I had pretty excellent service. They were there to answer my calls and if I had any troubleshoot, they were there to answer it for me. Everything was easy to use and pretty self-explanatory. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience.

I would recommend StraighterLine if you need to get easy credits. I had to use it for my university and it was good other than I tried to cancel it three times and I got charged $400. I would cancel and I would get my confirmation and then, it would not cancel.

The learning experience with StraighterLine is very straightforward and engaging. If you like reading what you're supposed to do and you're doing what you're supposed to do, all the information is right there. You got to be consistent to be successful as a student. I'd recommend StraighterLine to anybody. It's more affordable and you're able to learn.
