My overall experience.......

Being able to do things at my own pace and the cost was excellent. The time it takes to send a transcript to ACE/Credily is entirely too long, though.

Be careful...

I received a green light on the lesson and thought it was ok to proceed to the next lesson. And at the end my final grade was an F. There should not be a green check if the lesson isn't finished. That gives tge student the wrong message.
This is my 1st time using Straighter Line and I am not satisfied.

It isn't very easy to make a second attempt to submit the assignment. I still could not figure out how to do that.
