You can get the physical books pretty cheaply on Amazon or Ebay. SL also offers ebooks which make open-book finals easier.

I started my SL subscription less than 3 weeks ago and am already done with 6 classes. Thank you [B]gingerbeefE [/B]for your help and advice! I had been putting these courses off until last because I wasn't sure what to expect. I only needed to take 3 courses but I liked it so much I took 3 more. I probably won't need the last 3 but I wanted to take advantage of my time left. Plus you can't do much better than 6 classes for $300 (thanks to the ASH100 promo code). I highly recommend Straighterline!

I was the same way, taking classes because I found them to be fun. Although, since I bought my first several books from SL, it ended up averaging close to $120/course. I am working on the SL Bus Comm right now, and am not doing as well as I would like (and since it's not as interesting to me I am struggling to complete the course). I have been very tempted to spice things up a bit with a subject I think I'd like, such as Intro Philosophy, even though I have been emphatically told that I do not need any more LL credits. :coolgleam:

I had a lot of free time in the Air Force due to the nature of my job. After taking a few tests cold I found this site and took off from there. It gave me something to do at work and it was a fun challenge
