  • Do you prefer Study.com or Straighterline?

    I posted this a couple of days ago, but I only received one non-responsive answer, so I'm trying again:

    I need to pick up some credits for a graduate program; there are a few undergraduate prerequisites that I lack.

    The admissions counselor said they will accept classes taken from Study.com or Straighterline. Neither are regionally accredited (although the graduate program is), but I can get through the prereqs much quicker and much cheaper than if I attend community college for those classes.

    I already have a bachelor's and graduate degree, so it's not -that- important that the classes can transfer, as long as they'll be accepted for the prerequisites.

    Does anyone have any preference between Study.com and Straighterline, and why? I was leaning towards Straighterline just because it seems like it would be faster and cheaper for my purposes ($99/month for unlimited classes @ $59-$85 per class; versus two classes per month @ $199/month). But I'm reading that Study.com has better content. Does anyone have any experience with both (or either) companies that they'd care to share?

    Thank you!

  • Why do some posts seem to not accept answers (from me at least)?

    Why do some posts seem to not accept answers (from me at least)? If I click on the post, there's no space to write my answer; if I just try to post from the "add your answer" it claims there are technical issues and to try again later (it's not "this topic is under review"). Other people are able to answer in the meantime, and I am able to answer other questions.

    I can't imagine I've been blocked by -all- of these people (while I admit to a bit of snark once in a while, I've never been abusive)(and anyway, many of them I've never replied to before).

    Thank you for your assistance.

  • Will a new puppy companion bother an older dog?

    I have a 10 month old puppy (male), and a nine year old dog (female) who is ailing. I may have the opportunity to adopt a second male puppy about the same age as mine.

    In your experience, would the two puppies tend to play with each other and leave the older dog alone? Or are they more likely to "gang up" on her and make her twice as miserable?

    All of the dogs are very friendly with each other. It's just that the puppy is a puppy, and very playful. The older dog has been having some medical problems and isn't really able to play with him any more.

    I would prefer personal experience to theories. Thanks for your help!
