I know I'm late to the party. But, I'm curious to know if you took the Intro to Stats course on Straighterline? I need a Stats course, and I'm not sure if I should go for Business Stats or Intro to Stats. If you took them both, did you have a preference? Also, I'm not familiar with Acrobatiq. Is it like Aleks? I love the Aleks platform & if this Stats course is anything like Aleks, then sign me up!
Thanks for the updates!

SL's Acrobatiq macroeconomics course was the first course I took towards my degree. It was full of mistakes with the questions and answers. I was only about a quarter through it and said F%$% it and told them I wanted them to switch me to another course. They wasted a bunch of my time, and so I listed out a number of the mistakes in the course. They then realized it was shit and did what I asked. As far as I know they promptly switched back to the old-style (non-acrobatiq) macro course. This was back at the start of January.
Not only are these acrobatiq courses more expensive, they also don't use a real textbook. That to me is the only good thing about SL, the nice big real textbooks. That's why I like their history courses, because the textbooks are awesome.
If this is the path they're on, I'm not a fan.
