Discrete Math ACE credit course - nomaduser - 08-17-2020

Hello guys,

I just failed my Discrete Math course on study.com.
Is there any alternative Discrete Math course that will award me 3 ACE credits?

Thanks,

The only other discrete math that I see in the ACE registry is for ACT. It looks like this is part of the Global Assessment Certificate Program by ACT which means you probably can't take it if you're in the US and most people outside the US can't take it either. https://global.act.org/content/global/en/global-programs/global-assessment-certificate-programs.html

It's possible, though not assured, that Finite Math might work. You'd have to ask if https://is.byu.edu/catalog/MATH-118-M001 will fill the requirement. That one is $600, however. University of Idaho self-study also has Finite Math (not Discrete); they charge $510.

Thanks for your suggestions!

I'd like to try the 'Finite Math' which sounds close to 'Discrete Math'. Too bad some universities don't tell you which course can be transferred before you apply.

My enrollment advisor said they're ok with 'Computational Mathematics' course too. Not sure if there's anything available for that.

Wolfram Alpha has discrete math example problems:

https://www.wolframalpha.com/examples/mathematics/discrete-mathematics/

I highly recommend getting Pro (it's pretty inexpensive) because then you can see the step-by-step solutions: https://www.wolframalpha.com/examples/pro-features/step-by-step-solutions/step-by-step-discrete-mathematics/

Wolfram Alpha is the only way I was able to figure out some of the equations that we were given for the astronomy labs at ASU.

What did you average on your quizzes?

I got 86 on quizzes... and 57 on the exam. 7 more correct answers on final exam could save me. Discrete Math is kinda strange.. it covers too broad range of topics. There's always something you haven't read about on the exam.

Retake those quizzes. If you haven't expended your 3 tries, you can raise your grade enough to pass.

Is there any way to restart a course on study.com after one fails it?

Yeah.. that's crazy. I'll ask them if I can reset quizzes.
They just said that I can't do that.
