Thomas Edison State University suspended indefinitely Shmoop courses

Is there no time limit on exams?  I would think searching would still take time?  Are the Shmoop exam questions the same exact word for word out of the text?  

One 3 SH course every two days for a total of 20 straight courses does seem UNIQUE! Huh

Regular quizzes have 60 minute timers and final exams have 120 minutes. Some of the questions on the final are the same as the quizzes but I think it pulls from a large test bank and there's no guarantee. Each exam has comes with one retake opportunity, including the final. I had a few problems with Shmoop: 1.) Sometimes questions were not proofread and you would end up with questions that were either a copy of one of the answer choices, or had no question at all. 2.) Occasionally test questions would repeat in the same test. 3.) Some questions would reference outside-source articles which could not be accessed due to dead links. 4.) Some questions were worded unclearly, all problems I informed Shmoop about through their feedback form.

If I had to guess, I'd say I averaged eight to ten hours of Shmoop per day to complete that many courses in that short of time. On weekends (I'm off every weekend but have four days off bi-weekly), I spent all day and all night doing Shmoop work.
