WGU English Comp provider - theonlyski - 06-07-2017
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.

They will accept CLEP, DSST & Study.com - so you're not limited to SL.
