I bought a used one online. The formatting of that course is slightly different, it consists of many smaller 10 question quizzes. You have plenty of time to look up the answers in a regular book, so no ebook is required. There are several written assignments plus the final exam is a two part exam, multiple choice and essay. The written assignments were graded within a few days of submitting and the essay on the final was graded within a few hours.
Despite the fact that the written assignments made that course more work overall, it was actually one of my favorites.
I actually just switched around a my UL ethics class to fulfill the ethics requirement and am waiting for my business comm book to arrive so I can enroll in Straighterline. Not crazy about taking an ethics tecep (to fulfill the ethics req), so even though this will be more work, it will be more enjoyable than studying for something I'm not really interested in. Just waiting on my business comm book to arrive. Any other details on the class?
