I don't even remember this thread, Tom. We are having trouble getting email notice of subsequent thread postings.

Now I don't like 'going on' in this use. I think I had confused it with 'going' or 'going along'. In summary, I find these natural:

My classes are going smoothly.
My classes are going along smoothly.
My classes are getting on smoothly.
My classes are getting on smoothly.

Or better,

I'm getting on smoothly in my classes.
I'm getting along smoothly in my classes.

'Going on' sounds natural in 'What's going on?' -- 'Nothing's / A party's going on.' It sounds odd with an adverb, though. 'Going on' means occurring-- an event is either going on or it is not. 'Going/getting on/along' on the other hand suggests the process, and can more readily be modified.

That's my current take on this question.
