What's your favorite alternative credit provider? (e.g. Shmoop? Straighterline?)

I liked the format of the two courses from Sophia, but the pricing keeps me from doing any serious coursework there.

I've liked Study.com so far as well. The material, format, and pricing are well suited to my needs. I also like the fact that the proctor isn't live so I can take exams on my own schedule (as I do most of my studying and testing after midnight.) Though it also makes me a bit more nervous since I won't be able to get feedback on any potential violations of proctoring rules before its too late.

So far I have only taken English Comp I with SL and I liked it, but it was several years ago and I had to stop before completing the final paper. This was the version with a teacher so my experience may be a bit different than most as I've heard a lot of complaints about the writing courses there. I'm planning to take some more traditional classes at SL shortly.

I have tried the 24 hour trial of Shmoop, but didn't get too far since my Guardian scholarship kicked in 12 hours after I started that. I wasn't too impressed with the course I was trying out since I kept running into broken links, but I didn't get far enough to see if I liked it overall. I plan to give Shmoop another shot once I complete my TEEX courses.

Noting to say yet about Saylor except that I plan to take at least 1-2 courses there as part of my degree plan, so I'll have more to update then.
