Hello guys,
I want to take Software Engineering at WGU and I wanted to max out as many transferable courses as possible. I have completed 68 credits from Sophia and Study.com. I was wondering where i can take any of these courses than can be transferred to WGU.

| University of the People claims that Simone Biles is one of their students |

From uopeople.edu/about/worldwide-recognition/press-releases/simone-biles-joins-education-revolution/ :
This week marks the first week of the school term when Biles, who begins her bachelor's degree in business administration, will be joining over 12,000 students who have enrolled in the university from more than 200 countries and territories around the world.
And there's more:
Joining her daughter, Simone's mother, Nellie Biles, has also commenced her studies at UoPeople, beginning the MBA program.
So, according to the University of the People, Simone Biles and her mother have been studying at the University of the People for seven years.
The page uses the usual triumphalist tone found in all the advertisements published by this online school, but it’s easy to verify that most of the claims are false.
One question remains: do Simone Biles and her mother actually study there or not?

| Does the Study.com College Saver Plan only include 2 exams per month? |

Hello everyone
Recently, I recharged $235 to join the College Saver Plan. However, I found that I can only take the exam twice a month. If I want to take more exams, I need to pay an additional $70 each time. I need to take more than 10 courses, and this will cost a fortune. Can I suspend my account after taking two courses each time and re - activate it a month later? Or do you have any better suggestions?HRecently, I recharged $235 to join the College Saver Plan. However, I found that I can only take the exam twice a month.

This is very odd... I have had small disagreements with graders, in the past, but the reaction of Sophia is "over the top"
//
//
I complained Sophia was slowing me down, CSR's lying to me about my own course completions (you think I would know), accusing me of dishonesty, being outright combative...
Culminating in an email reply and banning of my account
Quote:Hello Jeffrey,
This is Matt again, the Learning Coach Manager, I wanted to emphasize that I sent my last message without seeing this one. We appreciate the detail you put in explaining your complaint further and the concerns you have. I understand in your view that the expectations around Sophia Learning should be even more accommodating, but like I reference in my last email I think you have taken full advantage of the platform. For only $79 you have completed over 45 courses in the last couple of weeks with Sophia Learning. Additionally I do want to emphasize that this Saturday was the first time you contacted our team and the weekend support is more limited than our normal business hours (Monday-Friday) especially with it being a holiday weekend.
Finally I want to emphasize again that there is no deliberate slowing of your progress, that is never Sophia's intention. But we need to set proper expectations around our grading timeline (which is usually 2-3 business days), course add policies and the support we offer, which does include phone and live chat options during business hours. I am sorry that you have lost trust in our organization but with clear expectations in place I hope your concerns mitigated.
Sincerely,
Matt
Learning Coach Manager

After this, I started getting WILD HARSH GARDING (on the same graduate level written papers) going from avg'ing 95%+'s to being graded in the low 70%'s
I complained when a grader had an issue with my stance on western politics, and was being harsh ...
so ...THEY BANNED ME WITH OUT WARNING, DELETED MY SUBMISSIONS AND TRANSCRIPTS, ERASED MY PROGRESS IN ACTIVE COURSES
ON TOP... they charged me 2 months (after 27 days) this morning... now refuse me access or refund
