Hello all,
As many of you know, I have been on a merry-go-round of mathematics trying to complete Calculus. I have tried Straighterline and BYU but have settled on taking it through Excelsior because the second course counts as both Calculus II and Differential Equations. I enjoyed the materials for Straighterline, but missed having a system like MyMathLab or Aleks to practice the homework. BYU looked like it might be a good option until I saw a prior years exam and got freaked out. The homework problems were reasonable, but the exams were proof heavy and I feel the same way about math proofs as I do about philosophy. I would rather have a root canal with a chainsaw.
I will be in TECH-201 at Excelsior for the next two months and plan to update this post about my experience. I know that many on here favor TESC, but hopefully the information will help the few Excelsior students that pass through.
