Straighterline English Comp I - Essays, Advice/Info

[SuZQ2]

Thanks so very much for all the helpful info! I've got to say, I been SCARED TO DEATH of this class and have not been looking forward to it at all. I have no experience with writing formal compositions of any kind, so did not want to have to figure out how write essays along with the time pressure aspect of the CLEP English Comp. Straighterline seemed like a great alternative, but after looking at all the assignments (gulp:ack:,) etc. I've been hesitant to actually take the plunge and sign up.

Can I ask if you're taking the lessons in order (I've read that some do all the quizes first, then work on the essays)? I tend to work extremely slowly, but how long do you think it will take you to complete the course?

Sorry to hear the College Writing Skills book is not used - I've been studying it and trying to familiarize myself with the material - the Purdue site looks much more intimidating - YIKES!!

Good Luck with the course - it sounds like you're really progressing and will pass with flying colors!
