Everything was going well until the final which consisted of a case analysis and a final exam with a proctor. If you’re not tech savvy, straighter line is not for you. I completed my case analysis which wasn’t too difficult, however the recording yourself presenting the case analysis and your PowerPoint was the extremely difficult part. After realizing there was a specific site we needed to use for the recording (mind you I asked my sister to record me which we had to redo at least 4x) it took a few tries to figure out how to navigate the recording site itself. So after being frustrated by that you have to upload it to YouTube. BUT BEWARE, you have to make the video visible to everyone AND SAVE it. I guess I didn’t save it so I got 0/200 on the case analysis which I had to redo. NOT HAPPY. Then moving onto the final exam, the proctor was zero help. I asked them if the time we needed to look over our answers was apart of the 2 hours testing time and he did not know the answer. I asked him if I should unsubscribe from straighter line immediately after the test so that I am not charged as the next month was starting the next day, he also did not know the answer to this. Point being: the proctors don’t know anything and cannot help you with anything other than technical issues with the difficult to download browser they MAKE you download. These two things were enough to tarnish my experience with straighterline as it was an extremely stressful process due to the technical difficulties that arise. I would 1000% advise everyone against using this to complete your credits. For me, it was not worth the hassle. ALSO, ZERO support along the way when situations do arise. There is nobody to reach out to. The student advisors LOL! A joke! They help out NONE! I asked a simple question to the student advisor having to do with changing my time zone setting so that I wouldn’t miss the final exam TWICE (which they didn’t have my time zone.. weird) and she was of no help. I called the student advisors 3x for 3 different reasons and not once did they help me. I’ve already let my university know that I would never take a class here again and that they should not recommend it to future students

When taking the final the system was very slow took atleast 2 min to move from one question to another.

I waited hours to start my exam. Waited for a very long period to get my proctor. Had to do verification 4x before starting exam. Keep getting kicked out of the exam. Proctors were not very polite.

Credits did not transfer and still being charged monthly after cancelling

Terrible Spanish Course. This is just Rosetta Stone with a handful of assignments. The grading is incredibly uneven, with some giving great feedback and some giving none at all. They also removed the textbook, so you don't have any access to extra useful material to help you learn. When I took my final exam, there was material in it that wasn't even covered in the course. I had to actually reach out to tell them that the final exam contains material it shouldn't. They gave me credit for those questions, but it's a little nuts that the course doesn't even line up with the exam and that a student had to reach out to let them know. I took two courses because I needed them for school credit & this was cheaper, but I wish I had just paid more to take them through my university.

1-Review test was not adequate representation of final exam. Maybe 30% of exam material was reviewed. 2-Absurd that excel is not allowed for final test 3-write down how to calc all ratios because you are expected to calc random ones from memory 4-generally thought a lot of information was covered during course and accounting 2 is even worse 5-expectation to remember all course content for final exam with limited notes is unrealistic for entry level accounting course

The quality of the course was not good. The questions on the tests were not on material in the presentations, just random facts from the textbook. Since we are not computers we cannot memorize every word in the textbook. Maybe make the tests more centered around the presentations.

I can't get my transcript. Support doesn't answer.
