English I at Straighterline (review)

[RobTACP]

I am in the middle of Straighterline English I and find the above review spot on. The "take hits on the first couple papers after following tutors feedback, then ignore draft advice for future papers" strategy is exactly what I have ended up doing. Perhaps if they aligned a tutor with a paper for draft *and* grading, it would make more sense but until they do so, I would have to suggest using the draft review for grammar/punctuation checks while ignoring any serious structural changes.

Also, the total points for the course, quizzes, papers and all - 290. Each paper is worth a max of 21 points, so don't get too wrapped up with a specific paper, either while writing or after getting dinged some points. Don't lose any sleep over it and press on.

Overall, I like it for a fairly easy and inexpensive option to knock out the basic Eng req. Your mileage may vary, etc, etc...
