Wish I hadn't given Straighterline my money

With SL, I was writing a paper a day UNTIL my options dwindled down to research-type papers (not my strong suit). I've been sitting on this current assignment for three days now and all I have is the header & title.

SDC English composition 2 only had 3 papers. 1 research proposal and 2 full essays(something like 1500 words I believe). So if one is looking to minimize the number of papers, that may be the way to go. The grade breakdown is:
-300 points total
-100 points for quizzes(easy to score 99-100 here)
-100points for proctored final (not difficult)
-100 points for written assignments
-20 for research proposal
-40 each for the 2 essays
So if you do well enough on quizzes and final, you needn't sweat the papers too much. You can also make corrections and resubmit the papers later for a (hopefully) improved grade if you need.

Also, kind of annoying but you only have a choice between 5 prompts for the writing assignments on SDC.

Is there a short essay portion on the SDC proctored final? As I mentioned above, I'm not a very fast typer. 

Hey, that beats the two writing prompt options I've been given for this assignment.
ALEKS(9): College Algebra, Trig, Intro to Statistics
Sophia(42): Intro to Sociology, Human Biology, Environmental Science, Ancient Greek Philosophers, Developing Effective Teams, Essentials of Managing Conflict, Art History I, Approaches to Studying Religions, History I, History II, Introduction to Psychology, Visual Communications, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Intro to Information Technology, Student Success
Straighterline(6): English Comp I, English Comp II
The Institutes(2): Ethics 312
TEEX(16): Cyber Security 101/201/301, Death Investigation, Basic Criminal Investigation, Foundations of Courtroom Testimony, Basic Property Technician, Foundations of Forensic Photography
