FLVS is a great tool for getting elective courses out of the way. However DO NOT use FLVS for core courses. While it is not impossible, the "lessons" are confusing and do a poor job at teaching you the material. Some of the teachers are helpful like my teacher Mr. Amon who made the experience bearable. In hindsight adding another class to my already difficult workload was a bad idea. But that doesn't excuse the plethora of technical issues I've had with this website, which resulted in a lot of work loss. It isn't worth the risk. As I previously stated, the confusing lessons coupled with the often meaningless assignments make the entire experience kind of stressful. If all you're working on is FLVS then you won't have a problem, but if you have other responsibilities, like most human beings, this won't be a fun time. The "work at your own pace" stuff isn't really true because they require you to complete a certain amount of assignments every week. Which (again) would be fine if you were working on this full time. But most people (again) are not. AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DROP THE COLLABORATION ASSIGNMENTS!!! PLEASE! It's a pointless extra effort that students have to take whose only purpose is to annoy students and teachers a like. I give FLVS a little leniency because the online education platform is fairly new and kind of experimental and I understand the difficulties that come with establishing such a new platform. But as it stands now FLVS is disorganized, the lessons are void, and the website is prone to all sorts of EXTREMELY annoying technical issues. Also they used have a confusing website layout that didn't work optimally. But now the layout is even worse and makes it difficult for a student to get to their courses. They need to SERIOUSLY reconsider the web design. The only reason that keeps me from giving this service 1 star is its experimental nature. Don't use this service for important or required courses, it's a massive pain and waste of time.

Edit: The Discussion-Based Assessments are annoying and don't serve much of a purpose. They aren't that bad, they're simple enough but I can see how these assignments would be problematic for students with anxiety or other mental conditions that hinder social interactions.
