    I like that it's very much at your own pace and you can take as many courses as you want. The proctors in the final exams were very helpful. It's just that sometimes on ProctorU, it takes a minute to log in for your final. Other than that, everything was amazing.

    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.

    There are a ton of courses that they can take at StraighterLine and it's super easy to get started and follow along with. I also liked that everything was in one place. It was easy to find what I needed to do and when I needed to do it. I liked that it was self-paced and that made things a little bit easier.

    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.

    I like the fact that StraighterLine allows people to use a graphing calculator for the exam because it takes an extremely long amount of time to work out some of those equations. I also liked the fact that StraighterLine doesn't put all the weight on the final exam. You can do all the graded exams, and the graded exams hold about 75% of the weight, while the final exam holds about 30%.

    I used StraighterLine for extra practice because they had more questions. I was getting the same questions on the school that I was going through, which is WGU. I just used it mostly for extra practice. The questions were really good and made me think outside the box. I used StraighterLine for a short amount of time, but I do think it's one of the better options out there to get more practice compared to some of the other options like Chegg.

    I had a great experience with StraighterLine. It had good content and it wasn't too terribly hard. It was challenging enough to where I didn't ace everything I did. I took two courses. Precal, I stretched out for much longer than I should have, got it completed, and found out I needed to finish calculus in less than a month. So, I cranked down on calculus and got it done on time and did well because I thought precal was much harder than calculus. I was prepared well, and then it was all good. I recommended StraighterLine to a lot of people. There are five of my friends that are now taking courses through them next semester.

    My master's program is strictly online and StraighterLine's schedule matched best with the school. It would be cool if the course has a little memo where you make your own calendar within it. If you miss a day, you could note a time when you were gonna log in and if you didn't, it would send you a notification that you didn't log in. But I've been recommending StraighterLine to classmates. They're trying to get their masters and are a few units short.

They broke Chemistry and Math down and explained things in a way that I will understand it. It was very easy for me to understand those concepts. They make sure you are on time with your assignments. And you have choices of how many times you can study and make sure you get a higher grade you want to get. Everything I've learned from there really helped me a lot.

    StraighterLine is great. I took four classes with them, and I liked it a lot. It was easy and everyone I spoke to were helpful. I had to a couple of different times. I took the Spanish class twice. The Spanish 1 was harder than expected, and there was one where it was saying one thing and my grade was completely different. They thought I had to go back and redo one assignment, but my grade was acceptable. They were able to fix everything.

    The class portion was very reasonable, but when you're taking classes of another university, you have a family, you're working full time, and then you volunteer for a couple other things, for me, the membership wouldn't have taken so long. If I was in my 20s and this is what I had going on, I wouldn't have spent as much as I did because it could have been done even sooner. However, because of my situation, and there's other people who have four kids like I do, the $100 a month is a bit too much, especially with what's going on in the world.

    I went into StraighterLine's Calculus 2 course with high hopes, but found standard to be completely unreasonable. Students are expected to complete over 20 questions in the graded exams in 80 minutes, when some of the problems literally take over a page to complete. The video material even covers some problems which take several videos to go over completely, and the academic staff somehow thinks students can complete equally complex problems in a matter of 5 minutes or less. My tutor, along with several individuals who have taken Calculus 2, have all agreed that such a standard is unrealistic. The advisors are also confused and will pass you wrong information. Don't waste your money or time with this organization. Spend your money and energy on courses from an actual university that is interested in seeing you succeed.

    Being self-driven and knowing what my personal goals helped carve out how feasible things are based on the syllabus and based on what other people are saying about the course or a curriculum. However, I only took StraighterLine up for one course, and I didn't get any reminders to cancel my subscription. It auto renewed me. So if there is an option to either not auto renew, or opt in to reminders that the renewal period is coming up. That soured my experience towards the end. Because I called a support ticket and they said it was nonrefundable. So, I had to go through the Better Business Bureau to get that escalated. There's the exam fee on top of it. It might be less accessible for other people. I know there are often discounts and coupons. But making it more accessible for students who may not necessarily have the funds to enroll or take courses at StraighterLine would be beneficial for StraighterLine in terms of getting more students take them over other programs like Sophia, or Saylor Academy, or Study.com.

    My school advised me to go to StraighterLine because it was cheaper to pay for the tuition for a class that I needed. However, I started chemistry class and didn't finish it. Because after I paid the class, I found out that I had to buy another chemistry kit for $150 more. That class would be the one that I wouldn't recommend taking there. Other than that, I would recommend StraighterLine. There's a lot of flexibility. I liked how I can manage my time around it.

    I was very motivated to get into the RN program, and the only thing holding me back was getting some prerequisite courses done in the fastest time that I possibly could. Straighterline was able to afford me that. Another really good point is the fee. I paid a one-time fee once a month for whatever coursework I was taking. It wasn't very expensive, and as soon as I was done with the coursework, I didn't have to pay ever again.

    Straighterline was easier for my son who has difficulty with Science and Math. So, he did Algebra and Biology. He also did English. So, it was all of the things he would prefer to do in a shorter amount of time than during the semester. He spent a lot of time on a paper about COVID but he got flagged for plagiarism. It was upsetting for him. No matter what article you're reading, you're gonna see a lot of the same information yet they flagged him. I was ticked and so I called customer service and went through this rigmarole of having to go through academic to get the paper approved. That was a very bad experience because that was at the end. In order for him to finish the course, he had to have the paper finished by a certain day. That put us in a situation where he had to redo a paper. Straighterline should take more time when it comes to something like that.

    Also, with assignments, like when my son did the paper, it would get graded and then he would get a second attempt. He would do the recommended corrections but then on the second attempt, he would be graded by different persons and they come back with a lower grade. When a student finishes an assignment and takes the time to take the second attempt to fix the mistake, and then Straighterline lets someone else grade it and they get a lower grade, it's a waste of time and it's a punch in the gut. The same person should grade the correction so that the person advances in their grade. Other than that, I would definitely recommend Straighterline.

    StraighterLine is more like a fast track adult-based school. And I had some prerequisites to finish in order to get my bachelor's degree. I didn't want to take the 9 to 12-week classes that they offered. So, I wanted to do something more at my own pace, because I work 50 hours a week. StraighterLine was a good option for me. It was just register and put in my card number and I was ready to go.

    The lesson plans were thought out well. The fact that the books and everything are included, and that until I take the final exam, everything is open book, was very helpful. If you want to save some money, instead of spending that kind of money in the same classes at the university, StraighterLine is the way to go especially as an adult. I've recommended it to a couple of friends already.

    Straighterline was exactly what I needed. It was good that I didn't have to deal with classmates and I have my own deadlines. The only thing is that they should have their courses accepted by more colleges and universities. There's a chance when I go on to a different school for an RN program, I'm probably going to have to repeat what I took at StraighterLine. So they should push for accreditation with other schools.

    StraighterLine was appealing because a couple of classes that I was interested in taking there at StraighterLine, I knew I would be able to breeze through a lot faster than if I took it at my regular university, and it was a lot cheaper. I took a comp class. For every paper I did, I turned in a draft first to make sure that I could get the best grade. And the instructors were so helpful. I feel like if I wouldn't have turned in a draft and got their feedback, I would not have done as well in the class at all.

    I've suggested StraighterLine to a lot of people. I've told them, "The one thing that you need to make sure you do is stay on top of it." Because if you just like do whatever without a schedule, you will end up wasting a lot of time because you feel like you can. Time management is a super important area of online classes because you don't have a professor that you're seeing three times a week that's keeping you accountable. You and then your professor via email is the only thing in between you and finishing the classes.

To be able to take some basic classes in inexpensive price is very nice. The enrollment process was super easy. I had to give my card information and enroll with some other information, like what school I go to and what year. By using all the resources that they give you like the helper person, which is like a tutor, will help you in being successful as a student, as well as the all the reading that they assign. And they give a lot of activities for you to do. So, it gives you more of a hands on experience and not necessarily just reading some material. That helped me a lot through my process of learning.

    I was looking at a nursing school that is one of those that accepts StraighterLine credit. I chose them because I could do it much quicker, self-paced. If I went to some regular college here, I would be at the mercy of semesters where it would take me three months to finish one class before I could take the next. So it would have put me a year out from even applying for a nursing program, where this, I got done in six months’ time. Also, it’s much cheaper than most of the other options. Just compared to your regular university, it's drastically cheaper.

    My only con is I wish that there were some type of recorded lectures or something more informative for the students. Because I feel like a lot of it was teaching yourself. Also, the lab portion was well planned out, because they have a little more clips and more detail, where the lecture portion is very minimal. I have to spend my time and read the book. And I use a lot of YouTube, like googling crash courses for anatomy and physiology for extra explanations. Other than that, I had a few times when I submitted something online and they got back to me within 24 hours. Super quick and resolved whatever may have been.

Because if they know the persons taking these classes sometimes are people that work, have a job, or try to, in some way, complete the undergraduate degree, 100 bucks every month is hard.

So if I had a week where I could really focus on it, I could do that.

But being able to go over and review the content as much as I need to before I take a test was what I needed and what benefited me most. The quality of material is the exact same as what I would find naturally on campus school and it's just online. It was overall an excellent experience that helped me further my education in a more convenient and affordable way.

    The college that I attend informed me that they have a partnership with StraighterLine. I am trying to get my degree as fast as possible and I wanted to get my degree-required classes out of the way. I wanna look at that option and I liked it. I really liked the layout of each of the classes that I took. I like the flexibility. I work a full-time job. I have two kids and a husband. I have a lot of family life. It accommodated me to be able to complete the quizzes, the course, assignments as quickly as possible at the time in which I could do it. My experience was great. Everyone that I talked to through StraighterLine when I had to take a new course, final exams at the end, was really professional. I was also able to get my transcripts in a timely manner.

    The thing that's tricky is that, unless you know about StraighterLine, they don't really tell you it’s $99 a month. It's confusing because you think you’re just paying that one time. Also, once you get done with the class, you should be able to take the test right then and there without paying for it. Why do you have to pay again to take the proctor test? And sometimes you gotta wait 72 hours. Other than those, the enrolment and the courses were easy. I like that it's affordable and self-paced. You can get done with it in a day or two. But I didn't know I gotta request for them to send the transcript to my school, although they sent it the next day after I requested it.

Liberty told me about StraighterLine, and I have already gotten two people on it as well. Being able to take some of those general ed courses, it's helping me graduate a lot sooner than I would if I had to take all of them through the university.

    I was trying to get the course done before I start school in May so I was rushing. Working with StraighterLine was challenging because I was working two jobs at the same time. But I didn't have to go to campus and I was able to do some assignments while I was at work. I took notes while I was on my lunch and when I got home, I was able to do the test and take it on my convenient time. The assignments are fair because I also see on the test all those things that they cover, and that I study and take notes about. StraighterLine is an online course and sometimes, people take notes and they have too much in those. Some people copy everything that they see so if StraighterLine can have a review sheet for them, it would be much beneficial, in a way, for them to know exactly what to review before they take the test and not go crazy over the notes that they took.

    StraighterLine is convenient. But it will also have to depend on the school that they are going to. People can’t choose StraighterLine and say that they want to take the course. They will have to contact the school. But StraighterLine has schools that accept the credit. So, people will have to do their own research before taking classes.

    I enrolled in StraighterLine to complete some pre reqs for nursing. All of my classes have gone smoothly except Micro. I have submitted what has been required of me and each time a grader tells me that I have not completed the work. Did an experiment and was told it was flagged because they couldn’t see the specimen. No problem. Resubmitted same specimen with a darker background which CLEARLY has growth in the plates. Another specimen I was told by the same grader that I used frozen broth? I agree the specimen is turbid. Maybe I didn’t do something right. Thank god I kept all of my experiments and I pulled it from the garage showing it’s not frozen so I Resubmitted same specimen clearly showing it’s not frozen and still flagged.

    The same grader I’m sure kicked back a picture because I hand wrote my access code on a piece of paper citing I needed the original access code but my son pulled it off the box. I even indicated that I didn’t have the ordinal access code but they also ask for proof of purchase of the expensive ekits which was also included. I was also quoted that my experiments don’t look like previous data? So someone somewhere is comparing pictures and there is no room for error? It’s bad enough that they try to make you reword your answers if they match similarly answers from other peers just so the algorithm won’t flag it for similar answers ie if they ask what color is the sky and you reply “blue” it will be flagged as plagiarism. So you have to resubmit paper with a similar answer instead.

    I have reached out for a week for someone to call me and I have yet to hear from anyone besides generic email responses. I am disgusted at how this has been handled. There isn’t anyone to talk to-at all. I just found out the people grading the papers are just regular people using an algorithm and pics to determine correct answers. This has been the worst experience ever. Steer clear.

And when it's all said and done, I'll be well over 50% done with the degree and I'll be saving money doing it this way versus taking all of the courses to college. I love it. The only problem I've had is when their server was down for a couple of hours. But they got it back up and running and their phone support is good.

    I was starting school up with Colorado Christian University, but I couldn't afford all of the tuition payments through them. My advisor told me that StraighterLine offered the courses, and they would take the courses from StraighterLine and apply them towards my degree. I decided it was a better route than a community college where I'd have to go and enroll and be enrolled in two colleges at the same time.

    I liked the style that StraighterLine offered. I worked overnight, so I was able to adjust my learning schedule based off of when I was available, which is really helpful being able to be a student and an employee at the same time. Sometimes, it's difficult with in-person classes or even classes that have a rigid schedule. I enjoyed the fact that I had the freedom to kind of get it done when I had the opportunity to. I took one course and didn't get too far into it because I ended up financially not being able to afford it at the time but I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of it. It was helpful to have that blended schedule where I was still able to double up on courses with CCU then add in the courses through StraighterLine to be able to get my degree done a lot quicker. I appreciated the fact that it gave me that opportunity to get my stuff done faster than I was previously thinking I would. I've introduced a few of my friends to StraighterLine and told them that it's a really good option.

    Someone from the school that I registered mentioned that I could take prereq classes that I needed for college at StraighterLine. I could transfer it over which was amazing. It helped me because I only needed one class to transfer that credit. Whenever I needed help with something at StraighterLine, I was able to speak to a live person. They made sure the instructions were available so I could follow the directions on how to complete the assignments. They also have videos of certain things that you can watch. The little keynotes and slides demonstrate what you're learning. There is a knowledge checklist before you go on to the next part, where it tests your knowledge to see if you understand. If you don't, then you can go back to the lesson to relearn it.

    However, the length of the assignments were a little long. I would do half then complete the other half the next day. It'd be more than 12 pages to complete and you gotta make sure you fully write all the information in your own words, so that way, no assignments are returned. Other than that, everything was great and I have finished my class. I spoke to a gentleman and a young lady, and they were very nice when I called to make sure that I completed everything that I needed to complete.

There's only one way to do it and I have to go on to the website to verify it. I don't think that it would be StraighterLine’s job, but adding different ways to add the proctor and doing a better job of having the proctor send verification emails that the exam has been scheduled would be helpful.

    I took a religious class and Philosophy. I needed to take Sophia for the other religious class. I needed two religion classes. But StraighterLine only has one. Other than that, it was convenient. It was great because I could finish the class in a week. But when we were taking the test and they have to watch us, we have to walk them through how to do it. I didn't even know on the first one. He asked me how to get to the test. And I felt I worked for him. It takes 30 minutes just to get to the test.

    The hardest thing I had to do was try to take the test without it disconnecting from somebody overseas, which happened a couple of times. They don't pay attention. They don't even know when we were done with the test. I was like, “Hello, I'm done. Can we just finish this?” And then they were not there, so I had to type it to them. I probably could have cheated because they were not actually there. It was a lot of reading. I didn't even know the Religion class was open notes so I read everything. That's why it was so easy. The Philosophy wasn't open note. So, I assumed the other one wasn't.

    My school has a partnership with StraighterLine. I could take some classes that were cheaper on StraighterLine and then transfer them to the school. The whole self-paced thing is really, really helpful because you can do it on your own time. It's the best thing about StraighterLine. You're not as pressed for time as you are in other classes. You don't have to wait for things or assignments to open. The textbooks come in, and you can read at your own leisure. You can take pictures and screenshots of things that you need in order if you're doing an assignment or a quiz that you can do or just information that you find appealing and you wanna retain. But sometimes you can get caught up with trying to finish the class so quickly that you may get lower grades. So, you have to be intentional with your time.

    I retained a lot of information while I was with StraighterLine. It was nice because I'm more of a hands-on learner myself. The assignments that were in the curriculum were nice because I could read the information that I'm assigned. Then I can do the assignment, which helps me retain the information and then apply it to the school, but also apply it to other classes and then apply it to whatever subjects or situation that I'm in future tense.

    The quality of StraighterLine's website was nice. Things were put well together. It was easy to navigate and to get to where I needed to go. It also has partnership with other websites through outside of StraighterLine, for example, the biology class through eScience, that was also easy to access and navigate. It was really helpful because sometimes other programs can be a little bit harder and you have to ask questions and you have to call.

She told me to take it during my semester but I took it during summer while I was taking other courses. So, it was a faster way to get those courses counted for.

I called a couple of times because I like to make sure I'm doing things right and every time I called, everyone was nice.

They gave me a couple of options and StraighterLine was highly recommended. I took a history class with them. I don't really like history and I don't like reading about history. But I really enjoyed having the option of playing it on my computer and listening to that, rather than reading a textbook. That was super appealing. I also took a class on Study.com. Enrolling with StraighterLine was pretty simple and the pricing was a little bit confusing. But I had to reach out to somebody in the chatbot and I figured it out. I also had a deadline that I had set for myself, so I went through my classes quickly.

    I'm currently taking courses with Liberty online. I wanted a similar format, and I need some courses so I went through StraighterLine. I work full time, and I have a daughter. So, it was nice to be able to go through the courses at my own pace and not worry about being live. Everything was pretty easy. I would definitely recommend StraighterLine, especially if you need something that goes at your own pace and not necessarily by someone else's timeframe.

    StraighterLine's program matches my time to do it on my own pace. I went periodically. I called when I was gonna put it on hold, and they were really helpful and really nice. My learning experience was not so techie, and I was able to really understand it. It wasn't super hard for me. I like the way it was designed. I was just doing everything online on some of my prereqs, and it's pretty good. I’ve recommended StraighterLine already to about four people that are really wanting to do their prereqs, too. StraighterLine has given us older students to go back to learning. It's accessible.

    I'm taking classes at National University to get my bachelor's degree and I came across an issue where I needed to do some of the general education classes. That was when they gave me the offer if I wanted to do it through StraighterLine or else I had to do it through them. StraighterLine is way less money so I went with them. It is helpful and I liked it. It's easygoing. Any of the classes that I took were straightforward. The website was handy and easy to drive it through on my own.

    I was so comfortable with the program. There are a lot of resources. I get to get the book and don't have to worry about needing to buy the book from somewhere else. For each set of reading, there's a quiz. It gives you an idea on where are you at in your study. They graded the quiz too and this was also what I liked about it. I called twice, and every single time that I called up, I got help. It's amazing not to be put on hold for so long. I asked how to transfer my transcript to National University and they were helpful. The only thing is the final exam should be proctored.

    I started with StraighterLine because of the affordability, but I stopped it. The way the program is set up doesn’t really work for me. I need a physical textbook. I’m a highlight-our-books kind of person. With reading online, I don't retain anything. So, I had to stop the courses. It would be good if there was an option to purchase books. Other than that, StraighterLine is a fantastic, affordable option if online learning is a way for you and style that you learn. So, the way it’s set up is great.

    I am in San Jose State University and the course was a pre-req which we needed to complete on StraighterLine.com. Everything went well but the only single attempt for the final exam bothers me. Also, the qualification criteria of StraighterLine is fine but if the universities are asking some pre-reqs from StraighterLine, then their qualification criteria don't match. In my scenario, the qualification criteria was 80% and above. But StraighterLine’s qualification criteria is that a person should get 70% or above to pass the exam. I got around 78% or 79% and from StraighterLine, I was qualified. But for my university, I was not. It was really hard for me to get over 80, but still I managed. I was given some document chapters that we needed to study. This material that was provided for the student was easy to understand. The main thing that I liked was a unit test after every chapter. The questions were fine as well, and the content was easy to understand.

    I tried the other program. I passed one class. And then the other class was so tough, then I said, “Okay, let me go to StraighterLine.” Within one week, I was able to finish my quizzes and pass the exams. That was how I was able to do my MBA in two weeks. StraighterLine gives you more than one time chance to take the quiz until you get your desired grades. That really helped me. I have a chance to finish my classes before July 30 so that I could use StraighterLine and do the two classes, the six credits, in order for me to still be spring graduate. Otherwise I have to take it during the summer or fall 2021.

They informed them about it, and then, we just took it together. The good thing about them is just that if you're more online-oriented and you know how to make the time for it, then it's up to you if that's suitable. But if you're more of an in-class person and need something in-class, then I wouldn't recommend it. But it was good for me since I'm working full time.

    StraighterLine was very helpful. I needed some credits so I could be eligible for my sport this fall from my college. A couple of my teammates were in the same predicament I was in so they told me about it, and it turned out my college accepts most of the credits on StraighterLine. They transfer over. It's very easy to sign up and get started, and I was able to pass my classes within a couple of weeks. It’s easy because you can work at your own pace. It's the most convenient and affordable to take classes that you need to take. I was looking at going through some community colleges, and they were way more expensive and less helpful in the process of me receiving my credit.

    As far as StraighterLine classes, everything was super smooth. But when it came to proctoring, it took a second to get going. I feel there's a lot of steps that you have to do before the test that takes a significant amount of time. Like when you think you're going to take a test, you schedule that time slot, thinking how long it's gonna take you to take the test. But you're not accounting for the setting up with the proctor and showing your ID and all that stuff.

    StraighterLine was simple along with the ProctorU. After everything was done, they got the transcripts in three days. So, it was easy. Prioritizing time in advance before I do anything else to study and indulge information is key to be successful as a student. I learned better in the morning so carving out time specifically for StraighterLine is something that I've learned to push into WGU as well. The only thing is I finished the course on the day that my billing cycle was and I still got billed for the whole billing cycle.

    I needed StraighterLine for a quick online course and it did its job fine. I was able to log on and complete the course anytime that I needed 24 hours a day. I tried to listen to some of the pre-recorded stuff that was on there, and it was fine. But for my own learning style, I do best reading it and highlighting the important stuff, and then studying off of that. I'm a visual learner and not so much an auditory learner. I got to read it and write it. I could have done better had I put more effort and time into it and didn't space it out. The key to courses like StraighterLine is to study and take the test and get it done as quickly as possible. I stretched out my course for almost three months and I did it to get it done with. So, my outcome was very different than somebody who was looking to get a higher GPA.

    The proctoring situation for the final exam was a little bit difficult. There were some hiccups as far as getting everything working properly and I couldn't hear the person. I had to pick my monitor up and literally show the whole room because the camera I have on my monitor doesn't pivot. So, that was a little annoying. For people who doesn’t understand a proctoring situation, that might be difficult. So, it could be improved upon. It would either be a proctoring all test situation or a not at all type of thing. When we paid for the courses, my husband put a credit card down so we got charged a monthly fee until I was done and canceled. We ended up spending $400 for a class, which is what you would pay if you went to a community college and you had an in-person class. So, I told him it was on me. If I had finished the class earlier, it would have been less expensive. So, it all came down to convenience.

    The learning experience with StraighterLine was good. When you start, you don't understand a lot of things. But it is an online thing. You will need more information and help, and some of the people were good at explaining things when you call to have some clarifications. I had a hard time initially with the lab because I couldn't figure out how to proceed with some of the things. So, I had to keep calling so I could get more information. If they can meet you, it's a little bit easier for students, especially since a lot of this should’ve been done at the lab with a teacher. They send you all the materials and trying to get information on how to figure out how to do some of those things were hard. But eventually, once you get ahold of it, you understand the whole process and it becomes easy.
