I was hesitant to enroll my son in this course because it seemed like a lot of work, and I was concerned about the 3-5 day turnaround time listed for grading papers. Well, I'm happy to report the class wasn't all that bad. He has completed the entire course in 3 days - he spent all of Monday working on the lessons, quizzes, and first 4 papers. He read Frankenstein and took those quizzes yesterday, then did 2 papers, and today he wrote the last 2 papers.
3 of the papers are rather short and simple. 2 are about Frankenstein and require 2 to 3 additional cited sources. 3 of the papers are a bit longer and more involved and also require MLA cited sources. The papers were all graded within a matter of hours. Some of the graders seemed to just copy and paste canned responses, while others really thoroughly commented on the content, with both praise and critiques. He is not a terribly strong writer and received scores from 82 to 98 on his essays.
For anyone who is concerned that this course might be way too time consuming, I just wanted to give some encouragement that it absolutely can be done in a short time frame if you can devote yourself fully to it during that time.
