Created for the working class. Ideal
by Usman H. on November 18, 2024
This course was well paced and had a decent amount of resources for studying. However, it would have been helpful to know when I needed to use a calculator for more advanced calculations at times.
by Megan K. on November 18, 2024
Very informative. Greatly explained, and I learned a lot.
by Thakshanthan N. on November 18, 2024
Great course. I learned alot even though i have a psychology background. The writing assignments were fun and allowed me to connect certain situations to my life.
by Andrewnique T. on November 18, 2024
good course
by Rachel T. on November 18, 2024
Most of the questions were "Which of the following is NOT true". So, read carefully. Good class, but it was annoying
by Tyler H. on November 18, 2024
Rough getting back into math after 3 years but once I got the hang of it course was worth it!
