Dang, this was a really looooooong test. I don't remember the last test I took in Learning Express taking that long. I got 37 out of 40 possible points, and if I were in class I think I'd argue that some of my wrong answers were just as valid. But it is nice to have the explanations of why they say the answers are right, even if you did choose the correct one - in case you were guessing or unsure of your answer. I can see how this would be very helpful, and getting explanations about answers from a computer can be much easier to deal with than a snotty English professor :)
Succeeding on the Job
Okay so humorous/snarky comments first...This is part of the course description "You will also learn how to know whether you are ready for a raise or promotion, as well as the most professional way to ask for one." Obviously these folks don't work for state government where raises are entirely out of our hands.
This was actually a helpful little tutorial. The first part of each section has the hints, tips, and tricks, then you answer some questions about yourself, and the behind-the-scenes stuff gives you some personalized feedback. The tutorial is self-paced, and you can save the work to come back later if you need to.
Ebook: 501 Vocabulary Questions
Okay, I may be the biggest English nerd in the whole world, but I could actually have a lot of fun with this book. I was the girl who was given a new Merriam-Webster dictionary at her wedding shower and got really exited about it! Each section has vocabulary words, questions to help you put them in context, and then the answers so you can check to see how you did. I like it!

Hey, library chick, I didn't know we had the same English professor! ;) We think Learning Express is very helpful for students and job seekers, and it would appear that you agree. Thanks for your comments.
