Sophia & Study questions

[smarterby1degree]

I'm wondering if someone can explain the differences in these.  

My son is doing a bunch of Straighterline courses and liking the format ---mostly because he can do well enough during the course to not have to stress/worry about the final too much (exam anxiety).   

Are any of the other three like this?  

he's going to need some UL classes for his Lib Arts degree at excelsior and it looks like Study.com has some, a few at Sophia...I have not checked Saylor....are there any others that we should check that have a similar format where you dont have to do super well on the final? 

---he's actually doing fairly well on the finals so I'm hoping the anxiety passes but knowing that he is doing well enough to pass definitely makes it better for him

We liked Straighterline the least out of all of them and they were also more expensive so I would switch to Sophia for lower division. My daughter took classes on Study.com, Sophia, and Coopersmith for Excelsior University. She used Study and Coopersmith for UL but preferred Coopersmith because there were no papers for their UL classes. I'm not sure how old your son is but my daughter did them throughout high school while homeschooling and it was great.
