Straighterline slightly frustrating..

[TESUAbroad]

I went for it and dove into Straighterline. It is actually a supremely good format for learning. However, I have some caveats:

I'm taking five classes on it, one of them is English Composition II. This class has EIGHT essays that need to be written, EIGHT!
They are from 500- 1000 words. I would much much rather, write two or three papers ranging from 1000-2000 words. These are all essays that require sources and strict adherence to MLA(which should be this way of course).

When I took English 1 in community college, we had about three major essays to do, along with an in class written assignment. I will try to finish the SL course, but I do not recommend the English Composition II course, as it would be much easier to do this at your local college or perhaps through a CLEP.

Second, and this one is infuriating, it keeps logging me out! Frustrated by the amount of essays, after completing the first essay assignment , I went on to the Intro to religions course. Here's what happens during a class:

You enter a course, go to the topic and go through the material which takes anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour or more. By the time you are done with that topic, you can't just click on next topic, you have to log back into the Straighterline service.

I spent all day studying today and logged in like twenty times... Makes you feel more like a customer than a student. However, login extension should be in easy fix.

In conclusion,
Straighterline is an amazing service for classes. I like how it is structured and that it is self-paced. However, it logs you out too fast and English Composition II is more difficult than most college classes of equivalency in terms of the amount of content and work you have to put in.
