Does anyone know what provider WGU uses for English comp 1/2?
I'm enrolled in the Straighterline course and it's just not my cup of tea.

I didn't take this course at WGU so I can't give specifics, but I do have some limited access to it. Looks like the course platform is MindEdgeOnline.com? described as "an e-book with videos and a variety of other interactive learning components"

If you could somehow get the essay topics ahead of time, it might work in your favor to just do them at WGU - you should be able to knock them out really quickly. My son took Comp 2 at SL and it was a freaking nightmare. I think he wishes he'd just waited and taken it at WGU.
On a semi-related note, if you're in the Business program at WGU, apparently the first science class is a horrible experience, but the second is super easy. You can fulfill the first science with Environmental Science at SL which is very, very easy. The second science at WGU is 2 powerpoint presentations and one lab report- you can literally do it all in one day. No test, no reading texts, nothing - just those three small assignments.
Here Researching for my son, who has done the following:
Community College: Intro to Philosophy, Fundamentals of IT, English Comp 1
Saylor: Intro to Business, Principles of Marketing, Corporate Communication
Shmoop: US History 2 (WGU won't accept this)
ALEKS: Int. Algebra, College Algebra
Study.com: Personal Finance, Principles of Finance, HR Management, Global Business, Advanced Operations Management
Straighterline: US History 2, Environmental Science, US History, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, English Comp 2, Principles of Management, Business Law, Business Ethics, Psychology, Organizational Behavior, Accounting 1,Communication, Managerial Accounting, Statistics
Ed4Credit: Managing Information Systems
Sophia: Project Management
WGU: Bachelors in HR Management
Second son is currently attending Penn Foster for his high school diploma, then on to Ashworth for An Associates in Criminal Justice
