Easy to do and learn. Very straightforward!
Jennifer
Your site is very user friendly. I like that I can take my time and practice the problems. The content is very long to get through.

The online course structure allows me the freedom to choose the attention i can give to the classwork on any given day. As a fulltime employee, the scheduling and the freedom to deviate from the scheduling is what I needed. Thank you Jon Michael Livingston (309)219-0167

I cannot discourage using Straighterline enough. I am enrolled in the biochemistry course (no lab). There is no supporting lecture/video material; unless you are a learner who strictly retains information from reading a textbook, this platform is not for you. The built in "lessons" are just more text to read and don't hone in on any details of the course information. The lessons lack explanation, contain many errors and are poorly outlined. I was also charged for the course 3 days before I was granted access and my membership dates were not adjusted. I have not received prompt responses - sometimes no response at all - to my inquiries. I am entirely disappointed and dissatisfed with my experience but will continue to move through the course because I already financially invested into it. If I had greater financial means, I would discontinue the course and find a different platform/institution.

StraighterLine courses are designed as flexible, self-paced learning experiences that allow students to move through material independently. While this model works well for many learners, we understand it may not align with every learning preference. Our courses include structured lessons, assessments, tutoring support, and academic assistance resources. We continuously review course content and assessment alignment to ensure clarity and rigor. If you encountered specific curriculum concerns, please reach out to the Support Team through our Help Center at helpcenter.straighterline.com with your account details so we can personally review your case. We’re also sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating billing issues can be. StraighterLine uses a monthly membership model, and cancellations need to be completed before the next billing cycle to prevent additional charges. That said, we’d really like the opportunity to review your situation to make sure everything was handled correctly. Please reach out to the Support Team through our Help Center at helpcenter.straighterline.com with your account details so we can personally review your case.

Decent for summer classes. you will def need supplemental learning sources though. after watching youtube lectures, the short videos on straighterline made wayyy more sense.

I started with the nutrition course and it was just awful. If you are really interested in improving see the email I sent you with screenshots on how the quiz was so off and so wrong.

We’re sorry your experience wasn’t a positive one. We know how frustrating it can be when something doesn’t work the way you expected — whether that’s related to coursework, grading, billing, or credit transfer. That’s never the experience we aim to provide. We’re always working to make our processes clearer and more consistent, and feedback like this is an important part of that. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and please reach out to our customer support directly if there's anything we can do to help.
