Very few online colleges seem to offer upper level math courses, much less at a high frequency, but Empire state seems to be the exception: https://empire2.esc.edu/cdladmin/cdlcat....t?OpenView
Has anyone take upper level math courses there? Are they rigorous (proofs), mostly applications or a mixture? How is the quality of instruction? I can't find any of the syllabuses for the courses or even the professors at this school and there isn't a whole lot of info about the school in general. I've only been able to find info only through the bookstore: the books used in the courses and that the courses require Maple and MyMathLab. If calling them directly would be helpful, I can do that tomorrow (my timezone is GMT +7 and EST is GMT -4 iirc).
Mathematics are more of the difficult courses to teach online. Is there a way for you to take these classes at a local college? For me, seeing a professor/TA do these is worth its weight in gold. Unless you already know the subjects and just need online school to certify it, maybe you should look into some night/weekend courses.
Anyone else agree/disagree?

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.
